Eleanor Honnywill (1919 or 1920 – 11 April 2003; née Biscoe,[1] later Eleanor, Lady Fuchs) was instrumental in supporting the work of British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
Honnywill won the 1975 Fuchs Medal of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in recognition of her service to the BAS and its predecessor the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS).
In 1958, she moved to FIDS as personal assistant to Vivian Fuchs when he took up the directorship, and worked with him on the expedition's papers and his Of Ice and Men (1982, Anthony Nelson; ISBN 978-0904614060), the history of the FIDS and BAS.
[3] Honnywill Peak in the Shackleton Range in Antarctica is named for her.
She married Captain Richard Buston Honnywill, a naval officer.
