Doran Stream

Doran Stream (77°42′S 162°34′E / 77.7°S 162.567°E / -77.7; 162.567) is a meltwater stream, 3,000 m long, flowing north from an unnamed alpine glacier east of Sollas Glacier to Priscu Stream in Taylor Valley, Victoria Land. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1996 after Peter T. Doran, paleolimnologist, Desert Research Institute (Reno, NV), who has conducted studies of the paleolimnology and climate of the McMurdo Dry Valleys from 1993.
