Source of name?

Where did this feature's name come from? Surely, there are no porcupines there...--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:07, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's name after a famous early deep sea exploration ship, the HMS Porcupine. --AfadsBad (talk) 17:02, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

easy Google book search something about it

Contradiction
