Depot Nunatak


Depot Nunatak is a nunatak, high, standing at the west side of Cassidy Glacier and the Quartermain Mountains in Victoria Land. Nearly vertical cliffs of columnar dolerite rise above glacier level at the eastern end. It was so named by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, on their western journey in 1903, because they made a food depot there, for use on their return.
