Bernacchi Head
Important Bird Area in Antarctica / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernacchi Head is a precipitous cliff forming the southern extremity of Franklin Island in the Ross Sea of Antarctica. It was named "Cape Bernacchi" by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, for Louis C. Bernacchi, a member of the expedition. The generic name has been changed to "Head" by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names to avoid duplication with Cape Bernacchi on the coast of Victoria Land.
