Wolseley Buttress

Wolseley Buttress (64°12′S 59°47′W) is a high buttress on the southern edge of Detroit Plateau, forming the west side of Albone Glacier on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. Mapped from surveys by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960–61). Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co. which, in 1908-10, designed the experimental motor sledge used by Captain Scott's 1910-13 expedition.
