Cape Markov () is an ice cape on the east side of Amundsen Bay, situated west of Mount Riiser-Larsen in Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62, for K.K.

Amundsen Bay
Amundsen Bay, also known as Ice Bay, is a long embayment wide, close west of the Tula Mountains in Enderby Land, Antarctica. The bay was seen as a large pack-filled recession in the coastline by Sir Douglas Mawson on 14 January 1930. Seen by Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in charge of a Norwegian expedition during an airplane flight on 15 January and subsequently mapped nearer its true position by the Norwegians. The bay was mapped in detail by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions party landed by aircraft in 1956 and another landed by launch from '' Thala Dan'' in February 1958. It was named by Mawson after Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer who was first to reach the South Pole.

Mount Riiser-Larsen
Mount Riiser-Larsen () is a prominent mountain, 870 m, standing at the northwest end of the Tula Mountains on the east side of Amundsen Bay. It was named by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson in January 1930 for Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, the leader of a Norwegian expedition in the Norvegia which also explored the area in that season.

Enderby Land
Enderby Land is a projecting landmass of Antarctica. Its shore extends from Shinnan Glacier at about to William Scoresby Bay at , approximately of the earth's longitude. It was first documented in western and eastern literature in February 1831 by John Biscoe aboard the whaling brig ''Tula'', and named after the Enderby Brothers of London, the ship's owners who encouraged their captains to combine exploration with sealing. Nation state claims Subject to the constraints of the Antarctic Treaty System, the longest-held nation-state claimant rights in the territory is Australia, being a large part of its claimed Australian Antarctic Territory up to various high latitudes towards the South Pole. Features Coastal features include Amundsen Bay, Casey Bay and Cape Monakov. Mountain ranges or sub-ranges being crests above pack ice (escarpments), are the Scott Mountains, the Tula Mountains, and the Napier Mountains. The highest peak is Mount Elkins at Above Ordnance Datum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Soviet Antarctic Expedition
The Soviet Antarctic Expedition (SAE or SovAE) (russian: Советская антарктическая экспедиция, САЭ, ''Sovetskaya antarkticheskaya ekspeditsiya'') was part of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute of the Soviet Committee on Antarctic Research of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The Soviet Union's Ministry of Sea Transport was responsible for the administration, logistics and supply of the expeditions. The first Soviet contact with Antarctica was in January 1947 when the Slava whaling flotilla began whaling in Antarctic waters. Stations The first Soviet Antarctic station, '' Mirny'', was established near the coast on February 13, 1956. This was added to in December 1957 by another station, ''Vostok'' built inland near the south geomagnetic pole. Year-round stations * Mirny (established February 13, 1956) * Vostok (established December 16, 1957) * Novolazarevskaya (established January 18, 1961) * Molodyozhnaya (established Janu ...

Konstantin Konstatinovich Markov
Konstantin Konstatinovich Markov (1905–1980) was a Soviet Union, Soviet geomorphologist and Quaternary geology, Quaternary geologist. As a geomorphologist Markov theorized on planation surfaces. His geographical research of arid areas outside the Soviet Union led to publications on Morocco, Lake Chad and the Dead Sea. Markov was professor at the Moscow State University. Markov created the concept of geomorphological levels. In this idealization geomorphic processes on Earth are distributed vertically in the form of concentric spheres, this if there is no tectonics, tectonic disturbances. The in each sphere a specific kind of process dominates. At sea level abrasion (geology), abrasion and Accretion (coastal management), accretion will dominate landscape, surfaces above this level would be dominated by cycle of erosion, erosion and peneplain, peneplanation. Further up mountain tops would form their level. Cape Markov in Antarctica is named after him. References 1905 birt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
