Palindrome Buttress (71°6′S 70°27′W / 71.100°S 70.450°W) is a conspicuous rock buttress, rising to about 905 m, marking the southern extremity of the north group of the Walton Mountains, in central Alexander Island, Antarctica. The buttress was first sighted from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. Remapped in greater detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the characteristic shape of the buttress is recognizable at a considerable distance from all quarters.

dbo:abstract
  • Der Palindrome Buttress (englisch für Palindrompfeiler) ist ein markanter und 905 m hoher Felssporn auf der westantarktischen Alexander-I.-Insel. Er markiert das südliche Ende der nördlichen Gruppe der Walton Mountains. Die erste Sichtung wird dem US-amerikanischen Polarforscher Lincoln Ellsworth bei einem Überflug am 23. November 1935 zugesprochen. Dabei entstandene Luftaufnahmen dienten dem US-amerikanischen Kartografen W. L. G. Joerg für eine Kartierung. Der britische Geograph Derek Searle vom Falkland Island Dependencies Survey präzisierte diese Kartierung im Jahr 1960 anhand von Luftaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte die Formation 1961 so, weil sie aus der Ferne aus jeder Himmelsrichtung gleich gut einsehbar ist. (de)
