Simpson Head

Simpson Head (coord|73|21|S|60|59|W|) is a conspicuous promontory rising to 1,065 meters. It projects south into the north side of New Bedford Inlet 4 miles (6 km) northwest of Cape Kidson, on the east coast of Palmer Land. Discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS). During 1947 it was photographed from the air by members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for Sir George C. Simpson.
