COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

ice-covered plateau rising to c.2000m between Loubet Coast and Foyn Coast, and extending from the heads of Erskine and Gould glaciers in the NE to the heads of Finsterwalder and Demorest glaciers in the SW, was probably sighted by Biscoe in the brig Thula in February 1832, and again by FAE, 1908-10, in 1909; following survey by FIDS from Stonington Island , 1946-47, named after Capt. George Avery, Master of the cutter Lively (Lively Point, q.v.) in company with Thula, the name referring only to the central part of the feature as now defined (APC, 1955, p.4; DCS 601 sheet 66 64, 1955; BA chart 3570, 21.ix.1957); following re-survey by FIDS from Detaille Island in 1957, redefined as above (APC, 1959a, p.4; BAS sheet Misc. 2, 1981).

Ice-covered plateau, about 40 mi long and rising to c. 2,000 m, midway between Loubet Coast and Foyn Coast in Graham Land. The first sighting of this plateau is not ascertained, but it was presumably seen in January and February of 1909 by members of the FrAE under Charcot from various positions in Matha Strait. It was surveyed in 1946-47 by the FIDS. Named by UK-APC (1955) after Capt. George Avery, Master of the cutter Lively, who, with Capt. John Biscoe in the brig Tula, approached this part of Antarctic Peninsula in February 1832.

A group of rock hills on the eastern side of the Lambert Glacier, 9 km north of the Mawson Escarpment. Plotted from ANARE air photographs taken in 1956, 1960 and 1973.
