The Evans Piedmont Glacier is on the west coast of the Ross Sea between
Fry Glacier to the north and
Granite Harbour to the south. Named coastal features include Tripp Bay, Tripp Island, Albrecht Penck Glacier, Depot Island, Cape Ross, Gregory Island and
Cape Archer.
Tripp Bay . A bay along the coast of Victoria Land formed by a recession in the ice between the Gates Piedmont Glacier and Evans Piedmont Glacier. The bay was first charted by the
British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09. The name appears to have been first used by the BrAE (1910-13) and derives from Tripp Island which lies within the bay.
Tripp Ice Tongue . An ice tongue that occupies the north half of Tripp Bay. The feature is nurtured by several glaciers (
Fry Glacier, Hedblom Glacier, as well as ice from
Oates Piedmont Glacier). It could be misleading to name this tongue in association with one of these partial sources. It is therefore named for its geographic location in Tripp Bay.
Hedblom Glacier . A glacier between
Mount Creak and
Tito Peak that flows east from Endeavour Massif to Tripp Ice Tongue. Named after Captain E.E. Hedblom, U.S. Navy (USN), Medical Officer of Task Force 43 in the Ross Sea area, Operation Deep Freeze I, 1955-56.
Tripp Island . An island in the south part of Tripp Bay. Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, which named this feature for Leonard O.H. Tripp of Wellington, N.Z., a friend and supporter of Shackleton.
Albrecht Penck Glacier . A glacier between the Fry Glacier and Evans Piedmont Glacier, draining northeast toward Tripp Bay. First charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09 which named this feature for Albrecht Penck, Director of the Institute of Oceanography and of the Geographical Institute in Berlin.
Depot Island . A small granite island lying northwest of Cape Ross, off the coast of Victoria Land. Discovered by the South Magnetic Pole Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, and so named by them because they put a depot of rock specimens on this island.
Cape Ross . A granite headland north of Cape Archer on the coast of Victoria Land. First charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09 which named this feature for Sir
James Clark Ross, the discoverer of the Ross Sea and Victoria Land.
Gregory Island . A small island lying just off the east coast of Victoria Land, northeast of Cape Archer. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-04), at which time it was thought to be a coastal point and was named "Gregory Point," for John W. Gregory, director of the civilian staff of the expedition. It was determined to be an island by the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13). == References ==
