Astarte Horn

Astarte Horn (coord|71|40|S|68|52|W|) is a pyramidal peak at the south end of the north-south range extending to Mount Umbriel, in eastern Alexander Island. The feature was mapped from trimetrogon air photography taken by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, and from survey by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1948-50. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in association with nearby Venus Glacier; the goddess Venus being identified with the Phoenician goddess Astarte in mythology.
