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. 38: 601: 567: 381:. 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.
