Sir James Ross, who first discovered this land in 1841, thus describes it 

 in his Voyage to the Antarctic Regions, vol. i., p. 184 : 



"Its northern point was called Cape Adare. ... It is a remarkable 

 projection of high, dark, probably volcanic, cliffs, and forms a strong contrast 

 to the rest of the snow-covered coast. Some rocks that were observed to lie 

 several miles to the north and west of Cape Adare, showing their black summits 

 conspicuously amongst the white foam of the breakers, were named Dunraven 

 rocks."
