Description (see definition): Low, recurved spit composed of coarse volcanic ash which projects about 0.5 mi W from the high rocky ridge forming Cape Hallett, along the coast of Victoria Land. Surveyed in January 1956 by members of U.S. Navy (USN) Operation Deep Freeze (OpDFrz) I aboard the icebreaker USS the Edisto which investigated and surveyed this area for possible use as a base site for International Geophysical Year operations. Seabee is a phonetic spelling for "construction battalion" and now refers to individual or collective members of naval construction engineer units.
