Dragons Teeth (Antarctica)
Dragons Teeth (63°15′S 58°39′W) are a small group of rocks rising to c. 100 m off Kanarata Point, the northeast extremity of Astrolabe Island, off Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica. They were photographed from the air and surveyed from the ground by FIDASE, 1955–57. The name, applied by UK-APC, is descriptive of these black tooth-shaped rocks.

gollark: I'd also worry that governments would insist on them having some overrides to stop people if they try murder or something (because murder is bad and if you disagree with this policy you're clearly pro-murder) which would then inevitably be expanded to other crimes and "crimes".
gollark: Unless they design the software ground-up with strong security and formal verification or something. But that doesn't seem to be what's happening.
gollark: With the current state of software security I do *not* want brain implants.
