	Flight Deck Névé Flight Deck Névé () is an elevated and unusually flat glacier névé, about , between Flagship Mountain and Mount Razorback in the Convoy Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The feature is the primary source of ice to the east-flowing Benson Glacier at Scuppers Icefalls.

	Dory Nunatak Dory Nunatak () is an isolated sandstone nunatak, 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km) long, rising above the southwest part of Flight Deck Neve, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southwest of Dotson Ridge, in the Convoy Range, Victoria Land. One of a group of nautical names in the Convoy Range, it was so named by a 1989–90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme party because the feature appears to be sailing in the midst of the glacier névé like a small dory A dory is a small, shallow-draft boat, about long. It is usually a lightweight boat with high sides, a flat bottom and sharp bows. It is easy to build because of its simple lines. For centuries, the dory has been used as a traditional fishin ... type boat. References Nunataks of Victoria Land Scott Coast {{ScottCoast-geo-stub ...

	Convoy Range Convoy Range () is a broad mountain range in Antarctica. Much of the range has a nearly flat plateau-like summit, extending south from the Fry Saddle and ending at Mackay Glacier. The range has steep cliffs on its east side, but it slopes gently into the Cambridge Glacier on the western side. The New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) worked in this area in 1957. The party named the range for the main convoy into McMurdo Sound in the 1956–57 season, with the names of the various vessels being used for features in the range. Features Taff Y Bryn () is a ridgelike summit capped by dolerite (about 1,600 m), situated 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west of Flagship Mountain in the Convoy Range. It is named after the River Taff in Wales, the toponym in Welsh literally means "Hill of the Taff." It was named by the 1976–77 Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) led by Christopher J. Burgess. Othe ...

picture info	Victoria Land Victoria Land is a region in eastern Antarctica which fronts the western side of the Ross Sea and the Ross Ice Shelf, extending southward from about 70°30'S to 78°00'S, and westward from the Ross Sea to the edge of the Antarctic Plateau. It was discovered by Captain James Clark Ross in January 1841 and named after Queen Victoria. The rocky promontory of Minna Bluff is often regarded as the southernmost point of Victoria Land, and separates the Scott Coast to the north from the Hillary Coast of the Ross Dependency to the south. The region includes ranges of the Transantarctic Mountains and the McMurdo Dry Valleys (the highest point being Mount Abbott in the Northern Foothills), and the flatlands known as the Labyrinth. The Mount Melbourne is an active volcano in Victoria Land. Early explorers of Victoria Land include James Clark Ross and Douglas Mawson. In 1979, scientists discovered a group of 309 meteorites in Antarctica, some of which were found near the Allan Hills in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	New Zealand Geographic Board The New Zealand Geographic Board Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa (NZGB) was established by the New Zealand Geographic Board Act 1946, which has since been replaced by the New Zealand Geographic Board (Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa) Act 2008. Although an independent institution, it is responsible to the Minister for Land Information. The board has authority over geographical and hydrographic names within New Zealand and its territorial waters. This includes the naming of small urban settlements, localities, mountains, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, harbours and natural features and may include researching local Māori names. It has named many geographical features in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. It has no authority to alter street names (a local body responsibility) or the name of any country. The NZGB secretariat is part of Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) and provides the board with administrative and research assistance and advice. The New Zealand Geograph ...
