Black Coast

	Black Coast Black Coast is the portion of the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula between Cape Boggs and Cape Mackintosh. This coast was discovered and photographed from the air by members of the East Base of the U.S. Antarctic Service, 1939–41, on a flight of December 30, 1940. The most southerly point reached was Wright Inlet Wright Inlet () is an ice-filled inlet receding westward between Cape Little and Cape Wheeler along the east coast of Palmer Land. The inlet was photographed from the air in 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) and in 1947 by the Ro ... at 74°S, but features as far south as Bowman Peninsula are identifiable in the aerial photographs taken on the flight. Black Coast was named after Commander (later Admiral) Richard B. Black, U.S. Navy Reserve (1902–92), leader of the December 30 flight and commanding officer of the East Base.

picture info	Antarctic Peninsula The Antarctic Peninsula, known as O'Higgins Land in Chile and Tierra de San Martín in Argentina, and originally as Graham Land in the United Kingdom and the Palmer Peninsula in the United States, is the northernmost part of mainland Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula is part of the larger peninsula of West Antarctica, protruding from a line between Cape Adams (Weddell Sea) and a point on the mainland south of the Eklund Islands. Beneath the ice sheet that covers it, the Antarctic Peninsula consists of a string of bedrock islands; these are separated by deep channels whose bottoms lie at depths considerably below current sea level. They are joined by a grounded ice sheet. Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, is about away across the Drake Passage. The Antarctic Peninsula is in area and 80% ice-covered. The marine ecosystem around the western continental shelf of the Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has been subjected to rapid climate change. Over the past 50 ...

	Cape Boggs Cape Boggs is a bold, ice-covered headland in Antarctica. The headland marks the east extremity of Eielson Peninsula, on the east coast of Palmer Land, separating Black Coast and Wilkins Coast. It was discovered by members of East Base of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) who charted this coast by land and from the air in 1940. It was named for Samuel Whittemore Boggs Samuel ''Šəmūʾēl'', Tiberian: ''Šămūʾēl''; ar, شموئيل or صموئيل '; el, Σαμουήλ ''Samouḗl''; la, Samūēl is a figure who, in the narratives of the Hebrew Bible, plays a key role in the transition from the bib ..., geographer, Dept. of State, whose political and geographical studies of Antarctica were used by the USAS.

picture info	Cape Mackintosh Kemp Peninsula () is an irregular ice-covered peninsula long in a north–south direction and wide. The peninsula rises gently to and projects east between the heads of Mason Inlet and Mossman Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. Location The Kemp Peninsula is on the Lassiter Coast of southern Palmer Land, beside the Weddell Sea to the east. Mason Inlet is to the north, fed by Clowes Glacier. The coastal ice sheet extends north from Mason Inlet to Cape Herdman, at the south of the mouth of Violante Inlet. The northern point of the peninsula is Cape Mackintosh. The Wegener Range is to the east. Cape Deacon is near the southern point. Mossman Inlet is to the south, just north of New Bedford Inlet and east of Mount Pawson and Mohn Peaks on the mainland. Discovery and name Kemp Peninsula was first seen from the air in December 1940 by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), who at that time photographed all but its northern extremity.

	Wright Inlet Wright Inlet () is an ice-filled inlet receding westward between Cape Little and Cape Wheeler along the east coast of Palmer Land. The inlet was photographed from the air in 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) and in 1947 by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne. Named by Ronne for John K. Wright, Director of the American Geographical Society, which lent its auspices to Ronne's expedition.

	Bowman Peninsula Bowman Peninsula () is a peninsula, long in a north–south direction and wide in its northern and central portions, lying between Nantucket Inlet and Gardner Inlet on the east coast of Palmer Land. The peninsula is ice covered and narrows toward the south, terminating in Cape Adams. It was discovered by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, under Finn Ronne, who named it for Isaiah Bowman. References * Peninsulas of Palmer Land {{PalmerLand-geo-stub ...

	Richard B Richard is a male given name. It originates, via Old French, from Old Frankish and is a compound of the words descending from Proto-Germanic ''rīk-'' 'ruler, leader, king' and ''hardu-'' 'strong, brave, hardy', and it therefore means 'strong in rule'. Nicknames include "Richie", "Dick", "Dickon", " Dickie", "Rich", "Rick", "Rico", "Ricky", and more. Richard is a common English, German and French male name. It's also used in many more languages, particularly Germanic, such as Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Dutch, as well as other languages including Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Finnish. Richard is cognate with variants of the name in other European languages, such as the Swedish "Rickard", the Catalan "Ricard" and the Italian "Riccardo", among others (see comprehensive variant list below).

	Heirtzler Ice Piedmont Heirtzler Ice Piedmont () is a relatively low, triangular-shaped, ice-covered area of about extent, located at the west side of Violante Inlet and north of Maury Glacier, on the Black Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The feature was first seen and photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service on December 30, 1940, and was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from U.S. Navy aerial photographs taken 1966–69. In association with the names of continental drift scientists grouped in this area, it was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after James R. Heirtzler, an American physicist. Heirtzler was a Research Scientist at Columbia University's Lamont–Doherty Geological Observatory, 1960–64, and Senior Research Scientist, 1964–67; he was Senior Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, 1969–86; Geophysicist and Head of the Geophysics Branch at the NASA The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA ) is ...
