Sheppard Nunatak

Summary

Sheppard Nunatak (63°22′S 56°59′W / 63.367°S 56.983°W / -63.367; -56.983) 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.
