Kohler Range

January 01, 1970

Kohler Range (75°05′S 114°15′W / 75.083°S 114.250°W / -75.083; -114.250 (Kohler Range)) is a mountain range in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. The range is about 40 nautical miles (74 km; 46 mi) 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.[1]

Region to the south

The Kohler Range is south of the Martin Peninsula, which separates the Getz Ice Shelf to the west from the Dotson Ice Shelf to the east. It is north of the Smith Glacier, which flows in a northeast direction from Toney Mountain to the Dotson Ice Shelf. The Kohler Glacier, a distributary of the Smith Glacier, flows north through the range, dividing it in two, and joins the Maumee Ice Piedmont. It is joined from the west by the Yoder Glacier. The Horrall Glacier, a tributary of the Kohler Glacier, runs east through the north of the range to join the Kohler Glacier. The Simmons Glacier flows northwest from the eastern part of the range to join the Kohler Glacier.[2][3]

Features of the western part include Detling Peak, Haver Peak and Morrison Bluff in the southeast, and Reilly Rocks, Cope Hill and Manfull Ridge in the northwest. Features of the eastern part include Early Bluff, Barter Bluff, Leister Peak and Slater Rocks in the southwest, Ferri Ridge, Mount Isherwood, Mount Strange and Mount Meunier in the northwest, and Mount Wilbanks and Suggs Peak in the east.[2][3]

Glaciology edit

The elevation of the Kohler Glacier's bed is about 600 metres (2,000 ft) below sea level, compared to over 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) below sea level for the Smith Glacier.[4] The nunataks in the Kohler Range became ice-free between 8,600 and 12,600 years ago. The long-term average rate of thinning would have been about 3.3 centimetres (1.3 in) per year, far lower than the recent thinning rates determined from satellite data.[4]

Discovery and name edit

The Kohler Range was discovered from a distance on February 24, 1940 by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd and other members of the United States Antarctic Program (USAS) in an airplane flight from the ship Bear. Byrd named the range after Walter J. Kohler Jr., manufacturer, and former Governor of Wisconsin, who helped furnish the seaplane from which the discovery was made.[1]

Notes edit

  1. ^ Alberts (1995) gives the coordinates for Haver Peak as 73°09′S 114°35′W.[10] This would put it far to the north of the range, and must be a typo. 75°09′S 114°35′W seems more plausible.
