Puccini Spur

Puccini Spur

Puccini Spur (coord|70|3|S|70|38|W|) is a rock spur, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, extending southwest into Mozart Ice Piedmont close south of Mahler Spur in the north part of Alexander Island. First seen from the air and roughly mapped by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) in 1937. Accurately delineated from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924), Italian operatic composer.
