Whitewhale Bastion (65°37′S 62°30′W / 65.617°S 62.500°W) is a prominent L-shaped mass that rises to nearly 1,200 m in central Aristotle Mountains and dominates Starbuck Glacier, 10 nautical miles (18 km) from its terminus on the east side of Graham Land. Its east face consists of walls of white granite, hence the name, one of several in the vicinity applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in association with Herman Melville's whaling novel, Moby Dick.

  • Whitewhale Bastion (von englisch white whale ‚weißer Wal‘ und englisch bastion ‚Bastion, Bollwerk‘) ist ein markantes, L-förmiges und fast 1200 m hohes Bergmassiv im Grahamland auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Es ragt 16 km westlich der Mündung des Starbuck-Gletschers an der Oskar-II.-Küste ins Scar Inlet auf. Die Ostseite besteht aus weißem Granit. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte es 1976 in Anlehnung an die Benennung weiterer geographischer Objekte in der Umgebung, die nach Figuren aus Herman Melvilles 1851 veröffentlichtem Roman Moby-Dick benannt sind.
