Una's Tits

Una's Tits are two towers of basalt, each topped by a cap of ice, that guard the entrance to the Lemaire Channel on the Antarctic Peninsula. They are officially named "Una's Tits", and they are identified by this name on navigation charts. They appear on a British Antarctic Territory stamp (right) although they are not identified as such.

Una was a young woman living on the Falkland Islands who would greet British Antarctic Survey personnel (who were all male at the time) on their return from wintering over in AntarcticaFact|date=April 2007.
