Baldred Rock (original) (raw)
Baldred Rock (60°44′S 44°26′W / 60.733°S 44.433°W) is a rock in Fitchie Bay at Laurie Island in the South Orkney Islands. It lies close off the south side of Ferrier Peninsula, 0.75 nautical miles (1.4 km) east-southeast of Graptolite Island. This rock was mapped by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition under William Speirs Bruce, 1902–04, and was later named "Bass Rock" owing to its likeness to the Bass Rock in Scotland. The name Bass Rock has also appeared on charts as an alternative name for an island in the Joinville Island group. To avoid confusion of these names, in 1954 the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee recommended an entirely new name for the rock at Fitchie Bay. Baldred Rock is named after Saint Baldred, the first hermit known to have lived on the Scottish Bass Rock.

(en) Der Baldred Rock ist ein Rifffelsen unweit der Insel Laurie Island im Archipel der Südlichen Orkneyinseln. Er liegt inmitten der Fitchie Bay südlich der Küste der Ferrier-Halbinsel und 1,2 km ostsüdöstlich der Insel Graptolite Island. Kartiert wurde der Felsen während der Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902–1904) unter der Leitung des Polarforschers William Speirs Bruce und später wegen seiner Ähnlichkeit mit der schottischen Felseninsel Bass Rock gleichfalls so benannt. Da jedoch eine weitere Insel in der Gruppe der westantarktischen Joinville-Inseln diesen Namen trägt, entschied sich das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee im Jahr 1954 zu einer Umbenennung. Neuer Namensgeber ist der heiliggesprochene nordumbrische Abt († 757), der als Eremit auf der oben genannten schottischen Felseninsel lebte. (de) Baldred Rock är en kulle i Antarktis. Den ligger i Sydorkneyöarna. Argentina och Storbritannien gör anspråk på området. Toppen på Baldred Rock är 235 meter över havet, eller 220 meter över den omgivande terrängen. Bredden vid basen är 2,2 km. Baldred Rock ligger på ön Laurie. Terrängen runt Baldred Rock är huvudsakligen kuperad, men den allra närmaste omgivningen är platt. Havet är nära Baldred Rock österut. Den högsta punkten i närheten är Ross Peaks, 532 meter över havet, 7,0 kilometer väster om Baldred Rock. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten.
