A geologist who spent seven years working in the Antarctic has had a peninsula on the continent named after him in recognition of his work. Dr Malcolm Hole became only the second person to visit Rothschild Island when he arrived there in 1985 and part of it has now been called the Hole Peninsula. His research proved it to be of volcanological significance and he has published numerous papers about the geology of the region, remaining its most recent visitor. He follows in the footsteps of Captain James Cook, who had the Cook Mountains in Antarctica named after him after he discovered South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in the 18th century.
