About: Airdrop Peak

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Airdrop Peak is a twin-peaked mountain 890 metres (2,920 ft) high at the north end of Commonwealth Range, Antarctica. It is the first prominent feature in Ebony Ridge when approached from the northwest. When New Zealand surveyors were making observations from the higher of the two peaks on December 11, 1959, an R4D aircraft of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 flew overhead to drop a spare radio to the expedition whose original one had broken down. So named because of this incident by the New Zealand Alpine Club Antarctic Expedition, 1959–60.

  • Der Airdrop Peak (frei übersetzt: Abwurfgipfel) ist ein Berg von 890 m Höhe mit einem Zwillingsgipfel am nördlichen Ende der Commonwealth Range. Der Berg ist die erste sichtbare Erhebung im Ebony Ridge im Nordwesten. Der Gipfel war Schauplatz eines Lufteinsatzes, bei dem am 11. Dezember 1959 die Crew einer Douglas DC-3 der US-Navy-Flugstaffel VX-6 Teilnehmern der New Zealand Alpine Club Antarctic Expedition (1959–1960) zur Hilfe kam, indem sie ein Ersatzfunkgerät für ein zuvor außer Betrieb geratenes abwarf. Dieses Ereignis verlieh dem Berg seinen Namen. (de)
  • L'Airdrop Peak è una montagna antartica alta 890 m, caratterizzata da una vetta costituita da due picchi gemelli e situata all'estremità settentrionale del Commonwealth Range, catena montuosa che fa parte dei Monti della Regina Maud, in Antartide. È la prima vetta dell'Ebony Ridge per chi arriva da nordovest. L'11 dicembre 1959, mentre alcuni esploratori neozelandesi stavano conducendo osservazioni sul più alto dei due picchi gemelli, un aereo Douglas C-47 Dakota/Skytrain appartenente allo Squadron della U.S. Navy sorvolò la cima per lanciare col paracadute dei pezzi di ricambio con cui sostituire un componente della radio della spedizione che si era rotto. La denominazione venne assegnata dalla (1959–60) in ricordo di questo avvenimento. (it)
