Asses Ears

Asses Ears

Asses Ears (coord|62|19|S|59|45|W|) is a set of three small islands off northwest Robert Island, forming the north part of Potmess Rocks in English Strait, South Shetland Islands. Presumably known to early sealers, the feature was charted and named descriptively by personnel on "Discovery II" in 1934-35.
