Corell Cirque

Corell Cirque

Corell Cirque (79°54′S 155°57′E / 79.9°S 155.95°E / -79.9; 155.95) is a large cirque containing a glacier between Harvey Cirque and Duncan Bluff in the south part of the Darwin Mountains. Located at the east end of the extensive Prebble Icefalls, the cirque channels some of the ice from the Midnight Plateau icecap into the Hatherton Glacier. Named after Robert Corell, who headed the Geosciences Directorate at the National Science Foundation (NSF), 1987–99, which for many years included the Foundation's Polar Research, and chaired national and international groups evaluating global change.
