Haslum Crag

Haslum Crag (64°22′S 56°59′W) is a prominent rock crag close to the north coast of Snow Hill Island, in the James Ross Island group, Antarctica. It stands 2 nautical miles (4 km) northeast of Station Nunatak. The crag was first seen by members of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld, who gave the descriptive name "Basaltspitze." Concerned that the name could be mistaken for descriptive information, the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee changed it to Haslum Crag, honoring H.J. Haslum, second mate on the Antarctic, the ship of the Swedish expedition. The crag was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1952.
