词条 Florence Rock
释义

  1. References

{{Orphan|date=December 2010}}Florence Rock ({{coord|60|47|S|44|36|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a rock {{convert|0.1|nmi|km|1}} long with a smaller rock off its northeast end, lying {{convert|0.8|nmi|km}} southwest of Cape Anderson, off the south coast of Laurie Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted and named by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1902–04, led by W.S. Bruce.

It is probable that Bruce named Florence Rock after Edwin Florence, chief cook on the expedition ship the Scotia, who was promoted to first steward in Buenos Aires in January 1904.[2]
