Scaife Mountains
The Scaife Mountains (75°06′S 065°08′W / 75.100°S 65.133°W) is a group of mountains rising west of Prehn Peninsula and between the Ketchum Glacier and Ueda Glacier, at the base of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Download coordinates as:
The Scaife Mountains are in Ellsworth Land. They are southwest of the Latady Mountains and east of the Sweeney Mountains. They are bounded by the Ketchum Glacier to the north, which flows into Gardner Inlet, and the Ueda Glacier to the south, which flows into Hansen Inlet. The inlets are both ice-bound and join the Ronne Ice Shelf on the shore of the Weddell Sea. Features include Mount Macnowski in the north and Mount Mount Brundage and Mount Terwileger in the south. Nearby features to the east include Prehn Peninsula, Lamboley Peak and Cape Schlossbach. Nearby features to the southeast include McCaw Ridge, Mount McKibben, Dodson Peninsula and Cape Cox.
The Scaife Mountains were discovered by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Finn Ronne, 1947–48, who named these mountains for Alan M. Scaife of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a contributor to the expedition.
74°59′S 64°57′W / 74.983°S 64.950°W. A mountain in the north part of the Scaife Mountains, about 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) west-southwest of Schmitt Mesa, near the base of Antarctic Peninsula. First observed from the air by the RARE, 1947–48. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by US-ACAN for Francis B. Macnowski, construction mechanic at South Pole Station in 1967.
75°16′S 65°28′W / 75.267°S 65.467°W. Mountain located 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) west-southwest of Mount Terwileger in the south part of the Scaife Mountains. Discovered by the RARE under Ronne, 1947-48, who named it for Burr Brundage, United States Dept. of State, who assisted in making arrangements for the expedition.
75°13′S 64°44′W / 75.217°S 64.733°W. A mountain on the north side of Ueda Glacier, standing at the southeast extremity of the Scaife Mountains, near the base of Antarctic Peninsula. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by US-ACAN for Stephen E. Terwileger, hospital corpsman at South Pole Station in 1967.
75°06′S 63°30′W / 75.100°S 63.500°W. A mainly ice-covered peninsula, 20 nautical miles (37 km; 23 mi) long and 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) wide, between Hansen and Gardner Inlets, on the east coast and at the base of Antarctic Peninsula. First observed from aircraft by the RARE, 1947-48. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by US-ACAN for Lieutenant Commander Frederick A. Prehn, Jr., United States Navy, pilot on photographic flights in the Pensacola Mountains and Alexander Island areas on Operation Deep Freeze 1967 and 1968.
