SCAR Gazetteer Information: Each place can have one or more entries in the SCAR Composite Gazetteer, dependant on its origin. By viewing an individual entry, you may see multiple references to the same place. SCAR uses a more general feature type coding, so each place will, in general, have multiple feature types.

flowing N into Forster Ice Piedmont, Fallières Coast, between Kinnear Mountains and Mayer Hills, was roughly surveyed by BGLE in September 1936 (Stephenson, 1940, map facing p.232); resurveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island", 1946-49, when the name Prospect Pass was applied to the col at the head of the glacier, from which there is a fine prospect across George VI Sound to Alexander Island (APC, 1955, p.17; DCS 601 sheet 69 66, 1955). Prokhod Prospekt (Soviet Union. MMF chart, 1961). Following further survey by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in November 1958, the name Prospect Glacier was applied to the glacier and the pass was left unnamed (APC, 1962, p.25; DOS 610 sheet W 69 66, 1963). |

Name ID: 130396
Place ID: 11663
Glacier between Kinnear Mountains and Mayer Hills, flowing N into Forster Ice Piedmont on the W coast of Antarctic Peninsula. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. In 1954 the UK-APC gave the name Prospect Pass to a col between Eureka Glacier and the glacier here described. During resurvey of the area by the FIDS in 1958, the col was found to be an indeterminate feature, while this glacier is well marked and requires a name. |
