Stonehocker Point

Stonehocker Point (66°15′S 110°31′E) is a rocky point on which Wilkes Station is built, forming the west extremity of Clark Peninsula. First mapped from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47. Wilkes Station was established in 1937 and occupied by a U.S. party under C.R. Eklund. Named by Eklund for Garth H. Stonehocker, ionospheric scientist with the US-IGY wintering party of 1957 at Wilkes Station.
