Tower Peak (Antarctica)
Larsen Inlet is an inlet, long in a north–south direction and wide, between Cape Longing and Cape Sobral along the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. Carl Anton Larsen, a Norwegian whaling captain, reported a large bay in this area in 1893, and Larsen's name was suggested for the feature by Edwin Swift Balch in 1902. The inlet was re-identified and charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947. It was ice-filled in 1986 then mostly ice-free in 1988. Mount Brading lies 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of the northeast corner of Larsen Inlet. References Inlets of Graham Land Nordenskjöld Coast {{NordenskjöldCoast-geo-stub ...

Tower Peak (California)
Tower Peak is a mountain in the Sierra Nevada of Mono and Tuolumne County, California. To the south of the summit is Yosemite National Park and to the north is the Hoover Wilderness. Mary Lake is to the west, Ehrnbeck Peak and Hawksbeak Peak to the east. To the south are Wells Peak and Craig Peak. The next higher mountain is Eagle Peak, about 8 mi east-northeast. Climate Tower Peak is located in an alpine climate zone. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and cr ...), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
