Yellowstone Crags

Yellowstone Crags (57°45′S 26°27′W) is a group of crags which are locally eroded into striking pinnacles, situated 0. 5 miles (8 km) west of Sombre Point, Saunders Island, in the South Sandwich Islands. The name applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1971 refers to the yellow color of the tuff rocks and their craggy topography.
