Fossil Wood Point

Fossil Wood Point (70°50′S 68°2′E / 70.833°S 68.033°E / -70.833; 68.033Coordinates: 70°50′S 68°2′E / 70.833°S 68.033°E / -70.833; 68.033) is a point of land between Bainmedart Cove and Radok Lake in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. The area was visited several times in January and February 1969 by A. Medvecky, a geologist with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions Prince Charles Mountains survey party. It was so named because deposits of fossil wood were found on the point.[1]
