Mount Pollock
The Deep Freeze Range () is a rugged mountain range, over long and about wide, rising between Priestley and Campbell Glaciers in Victoria Land, Antarctica, and extending from the edge of the polar plateau to Terra Nova Bay. It is southwest of the Southern Cross Mountains, south of the Mesa Range and northeast of the Eisenhower Range of the Prince Albert Mountains. Exploration and name Peaks in the low and mid portions of the range were observed by early British expeditions to the Ross Sea. The range was mapped in detail by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1955-63. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in recognition of the support to research provided by the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze expeditions to Antarctica for many years beginning in 1954. Location The Deep Freeze Range extends from southeast to northwest, between Priestley Glacier and Campbell Glacier. The narrow nort ...

Priestley Glacier
The Priestley Glacier () is a major valley glacier, about long, originating at the edge of the polar plateau, Polar Plateau of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The glacier drains southeast between the Deep Freeze Range and Eisenhower Range to enter the northern end of the Nansen Ice Sheet. It was first explored by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and named for Raymond Priestley, a geologist with the Northern Party. Geography The Priestly Glacier is fed by the Priestly Névé, which lies to the east of the polar plateau, south of the Lister Nunataks, Brawn Rocks and Rennick Névé. It runs southeast between the Szanto Spur and Wasson Rock to the northeast and Clingman Peak, Tantalus Peak and the Ogden Heights to the southwest. Foolsmate Glacier joins it from the southwest. It continues southeast between the Eisenhower Range to the southwest and the Deep Freeze Range to the northeast. The Nash Ridge forms part of its southwest flank. South of this i ...

Northern Foothills
Northern Foothills () is a line of coastal hills on the west side of Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land, Antarctica, lying southward of Browning Pass (Antarctica), Browning Pass and forming a peninsular continuation of the Deep Freeze Range. It was named by the Terra Nova Expedition#Northern Party, Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13 (BrAE), because during field operations Inexpressible Island, close southward, was originally referred to as the "Southern Foothills." Location The Northern Foothills are separated from the rest of the Deep Freeze Range by the Browning Pass (Antarctica), Browning Pass. The Campbell Glacier Tongue reaches into Terra Nova Bay to the east of the north end of the foothills. Gerlache Inlet lies between the foothills and the ice tongue. At the southern end of the foothills, Hells Gate separates the foothills from Inexpressible Island to the southwest. The mouth of the Priestley Glacier flows past the western side of the foothills, mer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Browning Pass (Antarctica)
Nansen Ice Sheet () is a long by wide ice shelf. It is nourished by the Priestley and Reeves Glaciers and abuts the north side of the Drygalski Ice Tongue, along the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. This feature was explored by the South Magnetic Polar Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-09 and by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. Frank Debenham, geologist with the latter expedition, applied the name Nansen Sheet as the feature is adjacent to Mount Nansen, the dominating summit in the area. Geography The Nansen Ice Sheet covers the southwest of Wood Bay, on the west coast of the Ross Sea. It is west of the Northern Foothills and east of the Prince Albert Mountains. From east to west it is fed by Browning Pass, Boomerang Glacier, the Priestley Glacier, the Carnein Glacier and the Reeves Glacier. The Larsen Glacier enters the sea to the southwest of the ice sheet. It abuts the Drygalski Ice Tongue to the south. Features sur ...

Miller Nunatak
Campbell Glacier () is a glacier, about long, originating near the south end of Mesa Range and draining southeast between the Deep Freeze Range and Mount Melbourne to discharge into north Terra Nova Bay in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Location Campbell Glacier forms in the Southern Cross Mountains to the south of Gair Mesa and Suture Bench. It flows south past both sides of Mericle Rock, and is joined from the west by Rainey Glacier. Hedge Terrace forms its eastern side in this section. Below Archambau Ridge it is joined from the west by Recoil Glacier, and past Mount Gibbs it is joined from the southwest by Harper Glacier. Further south Rebuff Glacier joins from the west. It continues south past Wood Ridge to the east and the Deep Freeze Range to the west. Capsize Glacier joins it from the west below Mount Cavaney. Styx Glacier joins from the east past the end of Wood Ridge. Further south Bates Glacier joins from the west to the north of Mills Peak. The glacier flows past ...
