between Stancomb-Wills Ice Stream and Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf, Coats Land, was sighted by BAS from Halley during glaciological work on Brunt Ice Shelf, 17 January 1967; roughly mapped in c. 74°10'S 20°30'W and called Christmas Box Ice Rise, as the discovery coincided with the delayed broaching of Christmas provisions (Thomas, 1973, map p.6); photographed from the air by USN Squadron VXE-6, 5 November 1967; further mapped from air photographs and called Lyddan Island after Robert H. Lyddan, Assistant Director, USGS, 1956-68, and Chief Topographic Engineer from 1968, with responsibility for Antarctic cartography ([in c. 74°30'S 20°05'W] AGS map, 1970; [in c. 74°25'S 20°45'W] Alberts, 1977, p.44); delineated as an ice rise with adjusted position from USLANDSAT imagery of February 1974 (BAS sheet Misc. 2, 1981; [with incorrect co- ordinates of 74°25'S 20°45'W] APC, 1982, p.3; [co-ordinates corrected] APC, 1986, p.3).
