W side of Ronne Ice Shelf between Evans Ice Stream and Carlson Inlet, was seen from the air on a USN LC-130 aircraft flight from McMurdo Sound, Ross Dependency, to "Eights Station" across Ellsworth Mountains, 14-15 December 1961; traversed on a radio echosounding flight by BAS from "Siple Station", Marie Byrd Land, in January 1975 and mapped as a peninsula rather than an ice rise (Swithinbank and others, 1976, p.297, Fig.3); later mapped by USGS from USLANDSAT imagery of February 1974 and named Fowler Ice Rise after Capt. Alfred N. Fowler, USN, Commander, US Naval Support Force, Antarctica, 1972-74 (USGS satellite image map Ellsworth Mountains, 1976; Alberts, 1977, p.42). Fowler Peninsula (APC, 1980, p.3; BAS sheet Misc. 2, 1981).
