properly an ice rise at Larsen Ice Front, rising to c. 350m off Imshaug Peninsula, Black Coast, was surveyed by the United States Antarctic Service in December 1940 and named after Clarence E. Steele, tractor driver at the expedition's 'East Base'; resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Stonington Island' in November 1947. Altimetric data for the feature were obtained on a radio echo-sounding flight by the British Antarctic Survey in February 1975.
