Cape Adriasola

(Adelaide Island)

British Antarctic Territory

Location: 67° 37' 52" S 69° 7' 25" W
SW point of Adelaide Island, was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10, in January 1909, and named Cap Adriasola after M. Adriasola, of Punta Arenas, who assisted the expedition. The name Cape Loubet (Loubet Coast, q.v.) had previously been applied to an indefinite SW point. The feature was recharted by an RN Hydrographic Survey Unit from John Biscoe in 1963 and identified as a distinctive ice-cliffed cape.
