The Monolith is a pair of small islets located off the southern tip of Sabrina Island within the Ross Dependency of Antarctica. The smaller of the two islets rises at a steep incline to 363 feet (111 m) above sea level, and is uninhabited even by penguins which have colonized the other nearby islands.[1]
