Depot Nunatak

Depot Nunatak (77°45′S 160°4′E) is a nunatak, 1,980 metres (6,500 ft) high, standing at the west side of Cassidy Glacier and the Quartermain Mountains in Victoria Land. Nearly vertical cliffs of columnar dolerite rise 150 metres (500 ft) 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.
