Place ID: 4793
A prominent bare rock scar of football shape on the north side of the ridge separating Edisto Inlet and Edisto Glacier from Tucker Glacier. The scar is surrounded by an unbroken snow slope, and it seems to form because the snow on this lee slope is removed over a small area by a wind-eddy. It is said to be always visible, though occasionally lightly covered by snow for short periods, is consequently a landmark for pilots and for the men at Hallett Station. At the base of The Football there is a prominent rock knob and a small lake, with a train of medial moraine running from it down the centre of Edisto Glacier. Given this descriptive name by the NZGSAE, 1957-58. |
