Tay Head
Tay Head is a rocky headland 6 nautical miles east of Mount Alexander, extending into the Firth of Tay on the south coast of Joinville Island. The name, given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963, is derived from the Firth of Tay.Geography
Tay Head is pebble spit or tombolo jutting southward from Joinville Island. The parallel gravel bars are a result of post-glacial uplift of the area after the much larger Pleistocene ice cap melted and the pressure was released.
