The Cabo Ambas Piedras (in Chile Cabo Valenzuela ) is a cape that forms the eastern extension of Liard Island in the archipelago of the Adelaide and Biscoe Islands off the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula .
Argentine scientists named it in 1978 after a battle sung about in the Argentine national anthem . Chilean scientists, however, named them after Jorge L. Valenzuela Mesa, a crew member of the Yelcho in the 1916 rescue of the participants in the endurance expedition (1914-1917) of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton who were stranded on Elephant Island .
