At its southern end it is joined by a narrow ridge to the Pyramid Nunatak but when the Koettlitz Glacier occupied Pyramid Trough it was completely surrounded by ice. Its northern tip was a jump-off point for a traverse to Heald Island made by University Personnel in January 1961. Named by the VUWAE, 1960-61, because of its shape.
