Hog's Back
The Hog's Back is a hilly ridge, part of the North Downs in Surrey, England. It runs between Farnham in the west and Guildford in the east. Name Compared with the main part of the Downs to the east of it, it is a narrow elongated ridge, hence its name. Jane Austen, in a letter to her sister Cassandra dated Thursday 20 May 1813 from her brother's house in Sloane Street, wrote of her journey to London in a curricle via "the Hog's-back" :"Upon the whole it was an excellent journey & very thoroughly enjoyed by me; the weather was delightful the greatest part of the day. ... I never saw the country from the Hogsback so advantageously. This shows that it was known as the Hog's Back by Jane Austen's time. However, the medieval name for the ridge was ''Guildown'' (recorded first in 1035 where it was the site of the abduction of Ælfred Ætheling, Prince Alfred of Wessex by Earl Godwin and then in the Pipe Rolls for 1190 and onwards) but this name is no longer in use. However, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hog's Back Falls
The Hog's Back Falls, officially known as the Prince of Wales Falls, but rarely referred to by this name, are a series of artificial waterfalls on the Rideau River in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The falls are located just north of Mooney's Bay and the point where the Rideau Canal splits from the Rideau River. Prior to the construction of the Rideau Canal, these were a gentle set of rapids originally known as Three Rock Rapids. The name Hog's Back came into use shortly before canal construction. Civil Engineer John MacTaggart, in 1827, described them as ''"a noted ridge of rocks, called the Hog’s Back, from the circumstances of raftsmen with their wares imber raftssticking on it in coming down the stream."'' These rapids were about 600 metres (2 000 feet) in length with a drop of about 1.8 metres (6 feet). They were navigable by canoe; no portage was required. As part of his concept for a slackwater navigation system, Lt. Colonel John By's design for the Rideau Canal called ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hogsback, Eastern Cape
Hogsback is a village in the Amathole Mountains in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Name There are two (or maybe more) theories as how the village received its name. Some think it was named for Captain Hogg, Commander of Fort Michell. Others think that it is because one of the three peaks that overlook the village, when seen from a certain angle, resembles a Hog's Back (A hog's back is a geological term describing this particular rock formation). History The earliest known written reference to 'Hogsback' was found in the journal of the painter Thomas Baines, who passed the 'Hogs Back' while on his travels deeper inside South Africa in 1848. Besides the 'Hogsback', the highest peak in the area is the 1 954 m Gaika's Kop. The nearby Xhosa tribes called the surrounding area ''Qabimbola'' (meaning 'red clay on the face') as the surrounding clay was used for face painting. Gaika's Kop was one of the Xhosa strongholds. British troops were later stationed here and a numb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Coalman Glacier (also Coleman Glacier) is a glacier located on the upper slopes of Mount Hood in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the mountain's highest glacier ranging from about , located within the crater rim, southwest of the peak. It was named for Elija Coalman (variously spelled ''Elijah Coleman''), an early mountain guide who climbed Mount Hood 586 times. Coalman Glacier is the second most frequently visited glacier on the mountain because it is part of the popular South Climbing route from Timberline Lodge. It lies entirely within Mount Hood Wilderness. The most well known feature of Coalman is the ''Hogsback'': a snow ridge running southwest to northeast from Crater Rock toward the summit ridge. The Bergschrund is another widely known feature where the glacier pulls away from the stagnant ice leaving a large crevasse. In 2007, it had become large enough to cause most climbers to use another route.Previous noticed posted at The glacier is a remnant of the massi ...
