Scott Glacier (Transantarctic Mountains)

[2] The Will Hays Mountains (85°57' S., 155°20' W.) also in the Queen Maud Range, surmount the divide between the lower ends of these two glaciers.

Mount Weaver (86°57' S, 152°20' W.), about 10,000 feet high, marks the southern portal of the glacier at the polar plateau.

Blackburn in 1934, found at Mount Weaver extensive coal beds and fossil tree section up to 18 inches in diameter.

The eastern portal of the Robert Scott Glacier is marked by a detached land mass, about 30 miles long in a southeast-northwest direction.

It was first ski traversed in January 1990 by Martyn Williams (Canada, the leader and guide) and Jerry Corr (USA) traveling from the South Pole to the Ross Ice Shelf and then by Mike McDowell (Australia) in 1992, on a ski traverse from the South Pole to the coast.

Download coordinates as: The Scott Glacier forms on the Polar Plateau and flows north between Mount Wilbur and the Davis Hills.

A prominent north-facing rock bluff, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) long, trending westward from Mount Mclntyre.

The bluff stands at the west side of Scott Glacier, near the head, 13 nautical miles (24 km; 15 mi) south of Mount Early.

The bluff was visited December 5, 1962 by a geological party of the Ohio State University Institute of Polar Studies, led by George Doumani.

Named by Doumani for CWO John D'Angelo, USA, helicopter pilot who landed the party on this bluff.

It rises at the west side of Scott Glacier, near the head, directly opposite Mount Howe.

Named by Admiral Byrd for Marvin H. McIntyre, secretary to the President of the United States at that time, Franklin D.

An elongated mountain, 2,930 metres (9,610 ft) high, comprising low connecting ridges and gable-shaped nunataks.

It rises at the east side of Scott Glacier, near the head, directly opposite Mount Mclntyre.

Named by Admiral Byrd for Louis McHenry Howe, secretary to the President of the United States at that time, Franklin D.

A solitary volcanic cone, 2,720 metres (8,920 ft) high, standing 13 nautical miles (24 km; 15 mi) north of D'Angelo Bluff, on the west side and near the head of Scott Glacier.

Discovered in December 1934 from nearby Mount Weaver by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party led by Quin Blackburn.

Neal E. Early, USA, a member of the aviation unit that supported the USGS Topo East survey of this area, 1962-63.

A partly snow-free ridge that trends southward for 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) from the western extremity of Mount Weaver.

It extends southward from the western limit of Quarles Range for about 100 nautical miles (190 km; 120 mi) and includes the névé area adjacent to the heads of the Bowman, Devils, Amundsen and Scott Glaciers, in the Queen Maud Mountains.

It flows northeast from Nilsen Plateau and joins Scott Glacier close north of Mount Gardiner.

A low gradient glacier flowing northeast from Mount Griffith in the Hays Mountains to the Karo Hills.

Named by US-ACAN for Robert C. Howe of USN Squadron VX-6, photographer on Operation Deep Freeze 1966 and 1967.

The descriptive name was proposed by Edmund Stump, leader of a USARP-Arizona State University geological party which established a base camp on the glacier in January 1981.
