Huey Creek

Huey Creek

Huey Creek (coord|77|36|S|163|6|E|) is a glacial meltwater stream, 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km) long, flowing south from an ice field west of Mount Falconer to the north-central shore of Lake Fryxell, in Taylor Valley, Victoria Land. [usgs-gazetteer] The name was suggested by hydrologist Diane McKnight, leader of a United States Geological Survey (USGS) team that made extensive hydrological studies in the Lake Fryxell basin, 1987-94. The name acknowledges support received by the USGS field team in Taylor Valley from U.S. Navy Squadron VXE-6 and its twin engine UH-1N "Huey" helicopters.
