Tuorda Peak

Tuorda Peak (65°59′S 65°10′W) is a peak, 870 m, rising eastward of Ferin Head on Velingrad Peninsula, the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956-57, and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 for Pava L. Tuorda, a Jokkmokk Lapp who, with Anders Rossa, accompanied A.E. Nordenskjold to Greenland in 1883 and first demonstrated the possibilities of skis for polar travel.
