Bettle Peak

A small alpine glacier which drains from the cliff that forms the south margin of New Harbour, about 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) west-southwest of Butter Point.

Named from geodesy, the branch of applied mathematics concerned with measuring, or determining the shape of the earth, and the precise location of points on its surface.

Rounded mountains, about 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) long and rising to 850 metres (2,790 ft) high, forming the south wall of Ferrar Glazier between Overflow Glacier and the vicinity of Bettle Peak.

Named by the NZ-APC at the suggestion of R.H. Findlay, NZARP geologist in the area between 1977 and 1981, after Winthrop Scott Stratton, a New Zealand carpenter who achieved a fortune and devoted most of it to philanthropic causes.

A mostly ice-free summit 1,230 metres (4,040 ft) high 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) east of Ellipsoid Hill, on the north side of Blue Glacier.

Named from spheroid (sometimes referred to as an ellipsoid), a mathematical figure formed by revolving an ellipse about its minor axis.

A hill, 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) long, which is the east-most rock unit on the north side of the terminus of Blue Glacier.

Mr. Robbins made over 1,000 dives in Antarctica for the United States Antarctic Project (USAP) and supported science in many locations around McMurdo Sound.
