Seue Peaks

Last updated

The Seue Peaks are peaks located on the Antarctic Peninsula, standing between Bentley Crag and Mount Rendu on Arrowsmith Peninsula in Graham Land. They were mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from surveys and air photos from 1956 to 1959, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Christian Martini de Seue  [ sv ], a Norwegian surveyor and glaciologist who made pioneer measurements of glacial flow in Norway around 1870.

Mount Murphy is a massive, snow-covered mountain with steep, rocky slopes rising to 2,505 metres (8,219 ft) in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It is directly south of Bear Peninsula and is bounded by Smith Glacier, Pope Glacier and Haynes Glacier. Volcanic activity began in the Miocene with the eruption of basaltic and trachytic lava. Volcanism on the slopes of the volcano resumed much later during the Pleistocene, with a parasitic cone having been K–Ar dated to 0.9 million years old.

Kohler Range is a mountain range in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. The range is about 40 nautical miles long and stands between the base of Martin Peninsula and Smith Glacier. The range consists of two ice-covered plateaus punctuated by several rock peaks and bluffs. The plateaus are oriented East-West and are separated by the Kohler Glacier, a distributary which flows north from Smith Glacier.
