Narrative

An ice piedmont formed from the glaciers draining from the eastern side of Cape Adare Peninsula, located south of the Downshire Cliffs and north of Cape McCormick, from an elevation of approximately 400m sloping gently seaward and terminating at ice cliffs along the coastline, being up to 10km long and up to 4km wide, and covering an area of approximately 20km².Named after Rob Fenwick, Chairman of the Antarctic Heritage Trust (2000-2005), and serving the Trust for over a ten year period. Rob Fenwick raised public and international awareness for the need for conservation, preservation, restoration and protection of historic huts and sites in the Ross Sea Region, securing the funding to do so during his Chairmanship.
