Labyrinth (Antarctica)
The Labyrinth (77°33′S 160°48′E / 77.550°S 160.800°E) is an extensive flat upland area which has been deeply eroded, at the west end of Wright Valley, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was so named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1958–59) because the eroded dolerite of which it is formed gives an appearance of a labyrinth.

The Labyrinth lies in the western Wright Valley. The Asgard Range, Mount Thor and Linnaeus Terrace are to the south. The Olympus Range and Mount Dido are to the north. Minotaur Pass provides a route through the Olympus Range to McKelvey Valley. The Wright Upper Glacier fills the Wright Valley to the west, and the Dais lies to the east. The Dais Col connects the east edge of the Labyrinth to the west edge of the Dais.
77°33′18″S 160°50′27″E / 77.554967°S 160.840913°E. A freshwater frozen pond. The pond lies in Healy Trough, 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) south of Rodriquez Pond. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (2004) after Laurie Connell, University of Maine, Orono; leader of a United States Antarctic Project (USAP) field party that sampled the pond in 2003-04.
77°34′04″S 160°47′02″E / 77.56777°S 160.783966°E. A very small ice-covered pond. The pond lies along a rock headwall close northeast of Craig Pond. The descriptive name was suggested by the United States Antarctic Project (USAP) field party that sampled the pond in 2003-04.
77°34′02″S 160°46′14″E / 77.567191°S 160.7706°E. A freshwater frozen pond 0.85 nautical miles (1.57 km; 0.98 mi) east of Dauphin Pond. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (2004) after Scott D. Craig, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, East Orland, ME; member of a United States Antarctic Project (USAP) party that field sampled Labyrinth ponds in 2003-04.
77°33′47″S 160°43′09″E / 77.563132°S 160.719248°E. A small ice-covered pond 0.15 nautical miles (0.28 km; 0.17 mi) east-northeast of Dauphin Pond. A descriptive name suggested by the United States Antarctic Project (USAP) field party that sampled the pond in the 2003-04 season. A rock in the middle of the pond is shaped like a stone coffin.
77°33′53″S 160°42′38″E / 77.564858°S 160.710578°E. A freshwater frozen pond. The pond is near the southwest extremity of Healy Trough, 0.2 nautical miles (0.37 km; 0.23 mi) east of the Wright Upper Glacier terminus. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (2004) after a USCG Dauphin helicopter (HH-65A) that landed on the pond January 20, 2004, in the course of sampling the pond.
