between c. 80°30'S and 80°40'S, and 26°30'W and 19°00'W, bounded to the N by Herbert Mountains and Pioneers Escarpment, and to the S by Read Mountains, and extending from Gordon Glacier to the E end of Shackleton Range in Dronning Maud Land (as Shottonfonna). The snowfield was photographed from the air by USN in 1967 and surveyed from the ground by BAS from Halley, 1968-71; in association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in this area, named after Frederick William Shotton (1906-90), British Quaternary geologist and Professor of Geology, University of Birmingham, 1949-74, in which capacity he did much to further the interests of BAS; President, Geological Society of London, 1964-66 (APC, 1974, p.6). The feature, originally defined as extending E to 20°W, was later redefined as above (BAS 250P sheet SU 26-30/1, 1-DOS 1978; APC, 1980, p.5).
