**Cinder Spur** ([62°9′S 58°11′W](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=62_9_S_58_11_W)) is a small [spur](/source/Spur_(topography)) extending into [Legru Bay](/source/Legru_Bay), 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) west of [Low Head](/source/Low_Head_(Antarctica)) on the south coast of [King George Island](/source/King_George_Island_(Antarctica)), in the [South Shetland Islands](/source/South_Shetland_Islands). It was so named by the [UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/UK_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) in 1963 because the feature is composed mainly of volcanic [cinders](/source/Scoria).[1]

Cinder Spur was later proven to be a [cirque](/source/Cirque) after snow retreat and is a [dyke](/source/Dike_(geology)).[2]

Extending north of the Spur is [Mistake Crag](/source/Mistake_Crag).[2]
