Random Hills

The Random Hills (74°7′S 164°25′E) are a group of rugged hills in Victoria Land, Antarctica. They are bounded on the west by Campbell Glacier and on the east by Tinker Glacier and Wood Bay. They are centered about 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi)) north-northwest of Mount Melbourne. Exploration and name The Random Hills were named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1966–67, because of the random orientation of the ridges which comprise the feature. Geology The Random Hills are part of the Melbourne Volcanic Province of the McMurdo Volcanic Group. K–Ar or Rb–Sr dating has given ages of 12.63 ± 0.17 million years and 12.43 ± 0.16 million years for Random Hills hawaiite. Location The Random Hills lie between the Tinker Glacier Tongue to the east, Baker Rocks on the Mount Melbourne peninsula to the south, and Bier Point and the Campbell Glacier to the west. The Burns Glacier separates the hills from Pinckard Table to the east. The Clausnitzer Glacier flows eastward through the hills to join the Tinker Glacier.

Balham Lake

Balham Lake ist ein kleiner See nahe dem Zentrum des Balham Valley im ostantarktischen Viktorialand. Der See erhielt seinen Namen 1964 durch den US-amerikanischen Geologen Parker E. Calkin (1933–2017), der ihn nach dem umgebenden Tal benannte. Dieses wiederum ist nach Ronald (Ron) Walter Balham (1921–1999) benannt, einem Geologen der Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955–1958), der zwischen 1957 und 1958 als Erster biologische Untersuchungen der Süßwasservorkommen in dieser Gegend vorgenommen hatte.

Balham Valley

Balham Valley (77°25′S 161°1′E) is an ice-free valley] between the Insel Range and the Apocalypse Peaks, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Name Balham Valley was named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE: 1958–59) for R.W. Balham, biologist with the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition who did the first freshwater biology in this area in 1957–58. Location Balham Valley is one of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. The head of Balham Valley is below Shapeless Mountain. The valley descends between the Apocalypse Peaks to the north and Olympus Range to the south. It connects to the McKelvey Valley to the south. It flows east-northeast past the Insel Range and joins Barwick Valley. Antarctic Specially Protected Area An area of 480 km2 (190 sq mi), comprising parts of both Balham Valley and the adjacent Barwick Valley, is protected under the Antarctic Treaty System as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA)-123 because it is one of the least disturbed or contaminated of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. It is consequently important as a reference base for measuring changes in the similar polar desert ecosystems of the other Dry Valleys where scientific investigations are conducted. Features Named features include, from west to east, Mistake Peak, Shapeless Mountain and Balham Lake. Mistake Peak 77°26′S 160°13′E. Snowy peak, about 2,600 metres (8,500 ft) high, rising 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) west-southwest of Shapeless Mountain, at the south end of the Willett Range. So named in 1957 by the N.Z. Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) (1956-58), because they mistakenly climbed the mountain in the belief they were on Shapeless Mountain. Shapeless Mountain 77°26′S 160°24′E. Massive mountain, 2,740 metres (8,990 ft) high, standing west of the head of Balham Valley. Named in 1957 by the N.Z. Northern Survey Party of the CTAE (1956-58) as being descriptive of its appearance from almost every direction. Rude Spur 77°27′S 160°49′E. A rock spur 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) northwest of Mount Circe that descends from the plateau of Victoria Land toward Balham Lake and Balham Valley. Named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) oceanographer Jeffrey D. Rude who drowned in McMurdo Sound, October 12, 1975, when the tracked vehicle he was driving broke through bay ice and sank in the vicinity of Erebus Glacier Tongue and Turtle Rock. Balham Lake 77°26′S 160°57′E. A small lake near the center of Balham Valley in Victoria Land. Named in 1964 by American geologist Parker E. Calkin for its location in Balham Valley.

Barlow Island

Barlow Island ist eine kleine Insel im Archipel der Südlichen Shetlandinseln. Sie liegt 1,5 km westnordwestlich des Kap Smith, der Nordspitze von Smith Island. Die Benennung geht auf den britischen Polarreisenden Henry Foster bei seiner von 1828 bis 1831 dauernden Antarktisexpedition zurück. Foster benannte ein vermeintliches Kap an der Ostküste von Smith Island als Cape Barlow. Vermessungen des Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey von 1951 bis 1952 ergaben, dass ein solches Kap nicht existiert. Aus Gründen der historischen Kontinuität wurde der Name auf die hier beschriebene Insel übertragen. Namensgeber ist vermutlich der britische Mathematiker und Physiker Peter Barlow (1776–1862).

Barlow Island

Barlow Island is a small ice-free island off the north coast of Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 380 by 160 m (420 by 170 yd), surface area 5.28 hectares (13 acres). The feature's name, presumably honouring the British physicist and mathematician Peter Barlow (1776–1862), derives from the name 'Cape Barlow' originally applied in 1829 by the British naval expedition under Captain Henry Foster to some point on the east side of Smith Island. Location The island is located at 62°52′04.5″S 62°20′24.2″W which is 2.14 km (1.33 mi) west-northwest of Cape Smith, 1.06 km (0.66 mi) west-northwest of Alfeus Island, 2.42 km (1.50 mi) north-northeast of Matochina Peak, 2.48 km (1.54 mi) northeast of Delyan Point and 11.33 km (7.04 mi) northeast of Gregory Point (British mapping in 1957, Chilean in 1962, Argentine in 1991, and Bulgarian in 2009).
