Mount Bulcke

Mount Bulcke (64°29′S 62°37′W) is a bold summit, 1,030 metres (3,380 ft) high, at the end of an ice-covered spur which extends south from the Solvay Mountains, in the southern extremity of Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99, and named by him for a supporter of the expedition.

The Bulcke Finger projects from the western slopes of Mount Bulcke.[1]
