About: Bills Gulch

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

Bills Gulch (68°5′S 65°50′W / 68.083°S 65.833°W) is a glacier on the southeast side of Hemimont Plateau, the northern of two glaciers flowing east from the plateau upland into the head of Trail Inlet, on the east coast of Graham Land. This glacier was used by the sledge party under which traversed the Antarctic Peninsula from the East Base of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) on its way to Hilton Inlet in 1940. It was named by USAS for a lead dog that died at this point. The unlikely name has been approved because of its wide use on maps and in reports.

  • Die Bills Gulch (englisch für Bills Schlucht) ist ein Gletscher an der Bowman-Küste des Grahamlands auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Er ist der der nördliche zweier Gletscher, die vom zentralen Hochlandplateau in östlicher Richtung zum Kopfende des Trail Inlet fließen. 1940 diente der Gletscher als Route von der East Base auf der Stonington-Insel zum Hilton Inlet für die Schlittenmannschaft unter der Leitung des US-amerikanischen Geologen Paul Knowles (1909–1978) bei der United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941). Die daran beteiligten Wissenschaftler benannten ihn nach einem Leithund, der hier bei einer Schlittenfahrt gestorben war. (de)
