Igloo Spur

Igloo Spur

Igloo Spur (coord|77|33|S|169|16|E|) is a small, isolated spur 160 m high at the culmination of the general ridge extending southeast from Bomb Peak, at the east end of Ross Island. Mapped and so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1958-59, because it was on this feature that Dr. E. A. Wilson and his party built a stone igloo during the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13.
