Wilcox Head (Cape Holm)
is a mass of reddish feldspathic
Gneiss with many streaks of black
hornblende Gneiss in it.
Devils Thumb is a columnar
basaltic mass like the Mato Jefe
capping an island whose sides slope
down at 25°-35° from the base of the
tower. As we approached and passed
lost it behind Wilcox Head, it seem-
ed to me that I saw more than half
way around it, but even so I could
not make out the snow covered ridge
that backs it according to the Arc-
tic Pilot, confirmed by Lange
Rock, who went to it this spring
in his way back to North Star Bay.
