24: 205: 40: 1270:. A rounded, ice-free mountain 760 m, standing just north of New Harbor and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) south of Hogback Hill. Charted by the BrAE, 1910-13, led by Scott, and named for the maker of the primus lamps used by the expedition. The name is spelled Hjort's Hill in the popular narrative of Scott's expedition, but Hjorth's Hill is used on the map accompanying the narrative. The recommended spelling is based upon the form consistently used on the maps accompanying the BrAE scientific reports. 471: 463: 1233: 1320:. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (1997) after Japanese geophysicist Katsutada Kaminuma, Professor of Earth Sciences, National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo, who worked eight field seasons in the McMurdo Sound region: two seasons with the Dry Valleys Drilling Project, 1974-75, 1975-76; one season with Antarctic Search for Meteorites, 1976-77; five seasons with International Mount Erebus Seismic Survey, 1979-80, 1982-83, 1983-84, 1985-86, 1986-87. 283: 1100: 748:. A glacier about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) wide, described by Griffith Taylor as a transection glacier lying in a transverse trough and connecting the Cotton and Debenham Glaciers. Discovered by the Western Geological Party, led by Taylor, of the BrAE, 1910-13. Named by Taylor for M.J. Miller, Mayor of Lyttelton, and the shipwright who repaired the expedition vessel, Terra Nova, prior to its voyage from New Zealand. 803: 47: 1515:. Prominent ice-free ridge situated 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) northwest of Spike Cape, near the center of Wilson Piedmont Glacier. The feature was "Black Ridge" on maps of the BrAE under Scott, 1910–13, but that name is already in use in Victoria Land. In order to avoid identical names it was renamed in 1964 by the US-ACAN for Kirby J. Hanson, meteorologist at the South Pole Station, 1958. 2039: 1947: 378:. A meltwater stream 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) south of Gneiss Point on the coast of Victoria Land. It issues from the front of Wilson Piedmont Glacier and flows eastward to Arnold Cove. Named by Nichols for Lt. Alexander Surko, USN, second-in-command of the Navy party that worked on the aircraft landing strip close north of this stream. 1477:. Prominent rock bluff that marks the east end of Staeffler Ridge and overlooks Wilson Piedmont Glacier, located 6.5 nautical miles (12.0 km; 7.5 mi) west of Spike Cape, Victoria Land. Named by US-ACAN for Cdr. George R. Blessing, USN, Officer-in-Charge of the Naval Support Force winter-over detachment at McMurdo Station in 1973. 228:. Ice reached an elevation of 470 metres (1,540 ft) above Cape Bernacchi and 350 metres (1,150 ft) on Hjorth Hill. However, it did not extend further inland than it does today, and may not have extended as far, probably because there was less precipitation. The margin of the glacier has continued to fluctuate during the present 454:. A meltwater stream 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) southwest of Marble Point on the coast of Victoria Land. It issues from the front of Wilson Piedmont Glacier and flows southeastward to Bernacchi Bay. So named by Nichols because the stream was located south of the U.S. Navy installations in the Marble Point area. 340:. A meltwater stream 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west of Marble Point on the coast of Victoria Land. It issues from the front of Wilson Piedmont Glacier and flows northeast to Surko Stream just west of where the latter enters Arnold Cove. Named by Nichols for Donald G. Ball, soil physicist with Metcalf and Eddy. 900:. Rocky island, 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) long, lying just off the Wilson Piedmont Glacier and the coast of Victoria Land, close northeast of Cape Dunlop. First mapped by the BrAE (1907-09) under Shackleton, who named it for H.J.L. Dunlop, chief engineer of the ship Nimrod. Not: Terrace Island. 976:. A shallow indentation of the coast of Victoria Land between Spike Cape and Gneiss Point. The name was suggested by the Western Geological Party of the BrAE (1910-13), which while sledging across the ice at the mouth of the bay erected makeshift sails on their man-drawn sledge, thereby increasing the speed. 938:. A bare rocky point from which the Wilson Piedmont Glacier has receded, lying 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) south of Dunlop Island. First mapped by the BrAE, 1910-13. The name was suggested by Seaman Forde, and adopted by Taylor, for its likeness to Spike Island at Plymouth, England. 416:. A meltwater stream 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) west of Gneiss Point on the coast of Victoria Land. It issues from the front of Wilson Piedmont Glacier and drains northward to the Bay of Sails. Named by Nichols for John J. Scheuren, Jr., chief of Metcalf and Eddy's field party. 1439:. A long ridge west of Hanson Ridge, separating Victoria Lower Glacier from Greenwood Valley in Victoria Land. Named by the US-ACAN in 1964 for George R. Staeffler, topographic engineer with the United States Geological Survey, who worked in the McMurdo Sound area during 1960-61. 212:
The Wilson Piedmont Glacier extends along the coastal plain of the west coast of the Ross Sea from Granite Harbor south to McMurdo Sound. Most of its input is from direct precipitation, but it receives some inflows from alpine glaciers. It has a broad dome with a divide near the
217:. Most ice flows east to the Ross Sea, where the glacier terminates and comes afloat in the sea along its eastern margin. Some ice flows west and contributes to the Wright Lower Glacier and the Victoria Lower Glacier. In the past there was more westward flow than at present. 245:

and coalescing at its east side with Wilson Piedmont Glacier. Formerly called Wright Glacier, but that name was amended by the VUWAE (1958-59) to distinguish this glacier from Wright Upper Glacier at the head of Wright Valley. Originally named by the BrAE (1910-13) for
1401:. Ice-filled valley at the west side of Wilson Piedmont Glacier, lying between Staefller Ridge and Mount Doorly in Victoria Land. Named by the US-AC AN for Russell A. Greenwood, USN, who was in charge of heavy equipment maintenance at McMurdo Station, 1962. 1096:. A cove along the west margin of McMurdo Sound between Gneiss Point and Marble Point. Named by US-ACAN for Charles L. Arnold, leader of a USARP party that made an engineering study of Marble Point, McMurdo Station and Williams Field in the 1971-72 season. 526:

664:. Glacier flowing into the northern part of Wilson Piedmont Glacier. First mapped by the BrNAE (1901-04). It was named by the BrAE (1910-13) for Frank Debenham, geologist with the expedition and Director of the Scott Polar Research Institute, 1925-48. 1014:. Rock point midway between Spike Cape and Gneiss Point on the east coast of Victoria Land. Named by US-ACAN for Thomas M. Kolich, geophysicist who participated in the USARP geophysical survey of the Ross Ice Shelf in the 1973–74 and 1974–75 seasons. 786:. A glacier about 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) long on the south side of Clare Range, flowing eastward between Sperm Bluff and Queer Mountain, in Victoria Land. Discovered by the Western Geological Party, led by 1148:. A rocky promontory of marble lying 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) north of Cape Bernacchi on the coast of Victoria Land. Mapped by the BrAE (1907-09) and so named because of the marble found there. 1058:. Rocky point 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) north of Marble Point, on the coast of Victoria Land. First mapped by the BrAE (1910-13) under Scott and so named because of gneissic granite found here. 1186:. Rounded mountain, 735 m, rising just north of Hjorth Hill and 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) west of Cape Bernacchi. Charted and given this descriptive name by the BrAE under Scott 1910-13. 232:
