The Fortress (Antarctica)

The Fortress (77°18′S 160°55′E) is a platform of Beacon Supergroup sandstone in Victoria Land, Antarctica, dissected to form four promontories bordered by cliffs over 300 m high. Situated on the shoulder to the northeast of Webb Glacier, they form part of the divide between the Webb and Victoria Upper Glaciers. Named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE), 1959–60, for its fortress-like appearance.
