Under his leadership NSF won congressional approval for rebuilding South Pole Station as a premier international science facility set to open at the beginning of the 21st century.

A sharp peak, 3,325 metres (10,909 ft) high, surmounting a north–south trending ridge 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) north-northwest of Mount Waterman.
