Mount Schwerdtfeger

Mount Schwerdtfeger (-78.35°N, 162.76667°W) is a peak, 2950 m high on the ridge at the head of Renegar Glacier, 1.75 nmi south of Mount Kempe in the Royal Society Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica.

Name
Mount Schwerdtfeger was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (1994) after Werner Schwerdtfeger, senior meteorological researcher, University of Wisconsin, a driving force in the study of Antarctic meteorology. His specialty was the study of the barrier winds east of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Fisher Bastion
-78.35°N, 162.51667°W. A high rectangular massif 2,650 m high between the upper reaches of Potter Glacier and Foster Glacier, 4.5 nmi southeast of Mount Huggins. Named by US-ACAN in 1994 after Commander Dwight David Fisher (Fisher Peak, q.v.), United States Navy Commanding Officer of NSFA, 1987-89.

Mount Duvall
-78.36667°N, 162.51667°W An ice-covered mountain, 2149 m high, standing close west of Fisher Bastion on the north side of Solomon Glacier. Named byUS-ACAN (1994) after Thomas L. Duvall, Jr., who conducted research, along with John W. Harvey and Martin Pomerantz, in helioseismology at the South Pole Station from 1980.

Solomon Glacier
-78.38333°N, 162.5°W. A glacier on the south side of Fisher Bastion which flows west from Solomon Saddle to enter Potter Glacier. Named by US-ACAN in 1994 after Susan Solomon, NOAA, atmospheric chemist who has been a leader in the study of upper atmospheric physics in Antarctica. At the time of naming, Chairman of the Office of Polar Programs Advisory Committee, NSF.

Solomon Saddle
-78.38333°N, 162.65°W. A snow saddle, about 1,850 m high, located between the heads of Solomon Glacier and Foster Glacier, to the south of Fisher Bastion. Named by US-ACAN in 1994 in association with Solomon Glacier.

Upper Jaw Glacier
-78.35°N, 162.95°W. A small tributary glacier that flows east and converges with Lower Jaw Glacier before entering Renegar Glacier. Named by the New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) in 1994. On a map, the combined shapes of the Upper Jaw Glacier and Lower Jaw Glacier resemble a gaping mouth, an illusion strengthened by the proximity of Shark Fin.

Lower Jaw Glacier
-78.36667°N, 162.95°W The south branch of the glacier on the eastern side of the ridge running north from Shark Fin. The branch flows eastward and converges with Upper Jaw Glacier before entering Renegar Glacier. Named by the NZGB, 1994.

Shark Fin
-78.36667°N, 162.91667°W. Description:	A sharp peak, 2242 m high, at the eastern end of the ridge separating the heads of Renegar Glacier and Foster Glacier. Named by NZGB, 1994, following work in the area by a NZGS geological party, 1977-78, led by D.N.B. Skinner. The peak has the triangular shape of a shark fin when viewed from the south.

Shark Fin Glacier
-78.38333°N, 162.91667°W A small hanging glacier between the heads of Renegar Glacier and Foster Glacier and to the south of Shark Fin. Named by NZGB in 1994 in association with Shark Fin.

Highway Ridge
-78.38333°N, 162.96667°W. A ridge extending eastward from Shark Fin Glacier to Foster Glacier. Named by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) (1994) following work in the area by a NZGS field party, 1977-78. The name alludes to the excellent access that the ridge provides from the lower part of Foster Glacier to Shark Fin Glacier.
