Narrative

A roughly elliptical ice rise, 10 mi long and bounded by an ice cliff on all sides, lying at the edge of Larsen Ice Shelf about 35 mi NE of Hearst Island. The feature was discovered by William R. MacDonald of USGS, Dec. 18, 1966, while on a photographic mapping mission of this area aboard a Super Constellation aircraft crewed by the U.S. Navy VXE-6 Squadron. The ice rise was first mapped from these photos by USGS. The name was proposed by UK-APC for Derek R. Gipps, Senior Executive Officer with BAS, 1961-73.
