Keltie Head (63°47′S 57°41′W / 63.783°S 57.683°W / -63.783; -57.683) is a rounded headland with vertical cliffs which rise to a small ice dome 395 metres (1,300 ft) high, forming the northwestern end of Vega Island, south of Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04, and named by him for Sir John Scott Keltie, Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, 1892–1915.[1]
