Hobbs Ridge

Named after William Davison, Zoology Department, Canterbury University, who from 1983 specialized in Antarctic fish research.

Climbed by the VUWAE, 1960-61, and so named by them because a balanced mass of gneiss with a goat-like silhouette protrudes 10m above the general profile of the southern slope of the mountain.

Named by the US-ACAN in 1964 for Chester Kowalczyk, Chief of the Photogrammetry Branch, United States Naval Oceanographic Office, who for many years had responsibility for the photogrammetric compilation of Antarctic charts.

Named from datum (a practical representation of a reference system), a geodesy and surveying term defined by fixed coordinates.

A peak 1,475 metres (4,839 ft) high rising above the head of Garwood Glacier at the southwest extremity of Hobbs Ridge.

A prominent peak over 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) high in a nodal position between the drainage of the Hobbs, Salmon and Garwood Glaciers.

Scott's second expedition, the BrAE (1910-13), explored the area more thoroughly and named the glacier for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, an authority on glaciology.

Named in 1992 by US-ACAN after Allan R. Priddy of Holmes and Narver, Inc., who experienced one winter above 76| in Greenland and one below 76| at McMurdo Station, as well as several summer seasons in Antarctica from 1969-91.

Named in 1992 by US-ACAN after Mark T. MacMillan of San Jose, CA, a research assistant in the United States Antarctic Program who lost his life in a diving accident at New Harbor, McMurdo Sound, on November 14, 1987.

A graduate of the University of California at Santa Cruz and a diver, he was in a group collecting foraminifera from the sea at the time of the accident..[12]

An ice-free peak, 1,065 metres (3,494 ft) high, standing at the north side of the terminus of Blackwelder Glacier.

The glacier was studied during United States Navy OpDFrz, 1957-58, by Troy L. Péwé and was named by him for Doctor Eliot Blackwelder, former head of the Geology Department at Stanford University.

A small lake at 550 metres (1,800 ft) elevation on the uppermost Koettlitz bench, 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) east of Blackwelder Glacier.

It was near this lake that members of the VUWAE, 1960-61, found a note left by Péwé, reporting observations on glacial erratics.

Small glacier lying 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) west-southwest of Cape Chocolate and immediately south of Salmon Hill.
