Narrative

A high triangular plateau in south Holland Range, Shackleton Coast, approximately 70 square km in extent and varying from 3000 to 4000 m in elevation. The plateau is bordered by steep cliffs, and by Mount Lloyd on the north and Clarkson Peak and Mount Miller on the south. The abrupt southern cliffs rise 1200 m above the Bowden Névé. Named by US-ACAN (2005) after Joseph Bordogna who served the National Science Foundation as Assistant Director for Engineering (1992-96), Assistant Deputy Director (1996-99), and Deputy Director (1999-2005). Throughout the period he provided key leadership and guidance to the U.S. Antarctic Program at a number of critical points in its evolution.
