Blancmange Hill

Blancmange Hill is an outstanding ice-free coastal landmark located 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of Stark Point on the east side of Croft Bay, James Ross Island. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey surveys taken 1958–61. The name is descriptive since the feature resembles a blancmange.[1]
