Godfrey Upland (68°44′S 66°23′W / 68.733°S 66.383°W) is a small remnant plateau with an undulating surface and a mean elevation of 1,500 metres (5,000 ft) in south-central Graham Land, Antarctica. It is bounded by Clarke, Meridian, Lammers and Cole Glaciers. The existence of the feature was known to the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, Finn Ronne and Carl R. Eklund having traveled along Meridian and Lammers Glaciers in January 1941. It was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947 and surveyed from the ground by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1958. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Thomas Godfrey, an American glassworker and mathematician who, at the same time as John Hadley, independently invented the qu

dbo:abstract
  • Das Godfrey Upland ist der kleine Überrest eines wellenförmigen Plateaus von bis zu 1500 m Höhe im südzentralen Grahamland auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Es wird durch den Clarke-, Meridian-, Lammers- und Cole-Gletscher begrenzt. Das Hochland ist seit der Reise der US-amerikanischen Polarforscher Finn Ronne und Carl R. Eklund (1909–1962) über den Meridian- und den Lammers-Gletscher im Rahmen der United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) bekannt. Bei der Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) entstanden 1947 die ersten Luftaufnahmen. Der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey nahm 1958 Vermessungen vor. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte es 1962 nach dem US-amerikanischen Erfinder (1704–1749), der zur selben Zeit wie der englische Astronom und Mathematiker John Hadley, jedoch unabhängig von diesem, im Jahr 1730 einen Quadranten (einen Vorläufer des Sextanten) entwickelte.
