-'''[[Cadenazzi Rock]]''' is a rock outcrop 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east of Roper Point on the west slope of [[Mount Takahe]] in [[Westarctica]].
+A '''[[blowtorch (drink)|blowtorch]]''' is an alcoholic cocktail invented by members of the 1928 Byrd [[Antarctic]] Expedition. The recipe calls for mixing lemon powder with grain alcohol and diluting the mixture with ice until it's drinkable.
-Cadenazzi Rock was mapped by the United States Geological Survey and from [[U.S. Navy]] tricamera aerial photos taken during the years 1959–66. It was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names for Lieutenant Michael P. Cadenazzi, a U.S. Navy LH-34 helicopter commander. He flew close support missions for United States Antarctic Research Program scientists during the 1969–70 and 1970–71 seasons.
+Dr. F. Dana Coman, the expedition's physician, and the man with the keys to the liquor supply, took some of the grain alcohol and mixed it with the lemon powder and the crushed orange juice concentrate. The men dubbed this extremely potent drink a "blowtorch." [[Richard Byrd]] himself participated in the festivities and every couple of weeks, he would authorize a tub of blowtorches to be made up and a party held to help the men relax and unwind during the long winter.
-On 2 November 2018, during the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]] in Berlin, Germany, the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Baroness of Cadenazzi was bestowed upon Larissa Königs, a reporter for the German tabloid ''Bild'' in recognition of her support of [[Westarctica]] as well as her talent as a journalist.
+Drinking contests broke out between the men, most notoriously between Danny Davies and [[Gould Coast|Larry Gould]], who got carried away and ordered everyone to "get cock-eyed drunk."
