Gray Nunatak
Gray
Nunatak
is a
nunatak
which lies
west
of
Arctowski Nunatak
in the
Seal Nunataks
group, off the
east coast
of
the Antarctic
Peninsula
. It was first charted by the
Swedish Antarctic Expedition
under
Otto Nordenskiöld
during a sledge journey in
1902
, and named by him
probably
for
Captain
David Gray
, a
whaling
skipper
of
Peterhead, Scotland
. Gray had
planned
an
expedition
to the
Weddell Sea
in
1891
but the plan was
abandoned
due to a
lack
of funds.
