Narrative

rising to 1560m S of Fuchs Dome and W of Cornwall Glacier, Shackleton Range, and including from W to E Mount Greenfield, Clayton Ramparts and Ram Bow Bluff, was surveyed by TAE in October 1957. The central and highest part of the feature in 80°47'S 27°05'W was named after Philip Jon Stephenson (b. 1930), Australian geologist with the trans-polar party of TAE, 1956-58 (APC, 1962, p.30; DOS 610 sheet W 80 24/26, 1963), but the name was later applied to the whole feature as now defined (APC, 1974, p.6; BAS 250P sheet SU 26-30/1, 1-DOS 1978).
