Blackstone Plain
Blackstone Plain is a small plain just south of Harper Point at the north end of Saunders Island, South Sandwich Islands. This lowland feature is made up of dark basaltic lavas and, in 1964, personnel from HMS Protector found it to be the only area of the island free from ice and snow. Blackstone Plain is situated 3 km southwest of Yellowstone Crags.Yellowstone Crags
