Sheppard Nunatak

Sheppard Nunatak

Sheppard Nunatak (coord|63|22|S|56|59|W|) is a conical nunatak 60 m high which stands close north of Sheppard Point, the north side of the entrance to Hope Bay, at the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula. This area was first explored by a party of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition 1901-04. The nunatak was charted in 1945 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and named by them for its association with Sheppard Point.
