This is an attractive new geomorphological map of the Fildes Peninsula on King George Island -- the place that I called home for several weeks in 1966. A fascinating place, but now sadly destroyed by assorted scientific bases, and too many tourists..........
Flat Top Peninsula, on the west coast. I suppose one could climb up with the proper gear -- but when we were doing our work on the peninsula we landed on the top, courtesy a Royal Naval helicopter. We found nothing much of interest.........
On Fildes Peninsula west coast the raised marine platform is the most prominent landscape feature. Note the prominent residual hillock on the far horizon.
Another view of the platform on the western side of the Fildes Peninsula. Should we refer to this as a strandflat remnant?
