42: 354:. A rocky cape on the east coast of Graham Land, forming the south end of a large ice-covered promontory which marks the west side of the south entrance to Prince Gustav Channel. Discovered by the SwedAE under Nordenskjold in 1902, and so named by him because from the position of his winter hut on Snow Hill Island the cape lay in the direction of his "land of longing" which he was anxious to explore. 198: 438:. Rock outcrops on the west side of Longing Peninsula. The feature extends south for 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) from the vicinity of Longing Gap and is the type locality for the geologic Nordenskjold Formation. Named by the UK-APC following BAS geological work, 1987-88, after Otto Nordenskjold, leader of the SwedAE, 1901-04, who explored this coast in 1902. 49: 612: 578: 392:. A constriction in the promontory north of Cape Longing, where the land narrows to 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) and forms a low isthmus. The gap is used to avoid the long detour around Cape Longing. Mapped from surveys by the 616: 582: 77: 41: 586: 140: 484:(1854-1911), Argentine geologist and anthropologist; Director, Museum of Natural History, Buenos Aires, 1902-11. Named by the UK-APC in 1990. 393: 635: 397: 258: 177:) is a peninsula 9 nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) long terminating in Cape Longing, situated at the northeast end of the 620: 476:. A gully running E-W through the outcrops on the west side of Longing Peninsula, Nordenskjold Coast. The name derives from " 640: 254: 448: 410: 364: 326: 281: 238: 262: 186: 308: 234: 210: 178: 303: 250: 593: 481: 218: 298: 222: 480:," the Argentine refuge situated on the southwest side of Longing Gap and named in turn after 206: 477: 182: 257:(SwedAE), 1901-04, who named Cape Longing.
