DNH chart LII, 1947); surveyed from the ground by FIDS from "Detaille Island" in September 1958; in association with the names of glaciologists grouped in this area, named after Dr Linus Carl Pauling (b. 1901), American chemist and originator of a theory of the structure of ice, c. 1935; Nobel Laureate in chemistry, 1954, and for peace, 1962; Research Professor, Stanford University, Cal., from 1974 (APC, 1960, p.6; BA chart 3571, 14.viii.1961).
