Tazieff Rocks

Tazieff Rocks (77°27′S 166°30′E) is a nunatak in Antarctica 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) southeast of Micou Point, Ross Island. It rises to c.200 m (660 ft) at the south end of Endeavour Piedmont Glacier. At the suggestion of P.R. Kyle, it is named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Haroun Tazieff (d.), a renowned French volcanologist who worked at Mount Erebus with several groups of French scientists in three field seasons between 1973 and 1979.
