Admiral Sir Charles W. Rawson Royds, RN (1876-1931), 1st lieutenant and meteorologist on the Discovery for whom Scott named Cape Royds in 1902. Cape Royds (77°33'S, 166°09'E) is the rocky volcanic Cape at the western extremity of Ross Island, facing onto McMurdo Sound. A camp was established on the Cape while a lookout was being maintained for the relief ship Morning in 1903-04. It was the site of Shackleton's base on his Nimrod expedition in 1908. The Discovery's rudder was damaged as she escaped from the ice in February 1904 and was replaced by the spare rudder at Robertson Bay.
