Werenskiold Bastion (67°26′S 65°32′W﻿ / ﻿67.433°S 65.533°W﻿ / -67.433; -65.533) is a bold rock headland that rises very steeply to over 1,000m and forms the coastline between Demorest Glacier and Matthes Glacier on the east coast of Graham Land. The feature was observed and photographed by several American expeditions: United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41; Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) 1947–48; U.S. Navy photos, 1968. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1947–48. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Werner Werenskiold (1883–1961), Norwegian geographer who worked on the theory of glacier flow.
