Moraine Canyon (86°9′S 157°30′W / 86.150°S 157.500°W) is a canyon with very steep rock walls, 8 nautical miles (15 km) long, indenting northern Nilsen Plateau just west of Fram Mesa, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was so named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names because the canyon floor is completely covered by glacial moraine.

dbo:abstract
  • Der Moraine Canyon ist eine tief eingeschnittene und 13 km lange Schlucht in der antarktischen Ross Dependency. Im Königin-Maud-Gebirge liegt er westlich der Fram Mesa im nördlichen Nilsen-Plateau. Der United States Geological Survey kartierte den Canyon anhand eigener Vermessungen und mittels Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy aus den Jahren zwischen 1960 und 1964. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte ihn 1967 nach der Moräne, die den Talgrund des Canyons einnimmt. (de)

  • Il Moraine Canyon (in lingua inglese: Canyon della morena), è un canyon o gola antartica, caratterizzata da pareti molto ripide e lunga 15 km, che incide la parte settentrionale del Nilsen Plateau subito a ovest della Fram Mesa, nei Monti della Regina Maud, in Antartide. Il canyon è stato mappato dall'United States Geological Survey (USGS) sulla base di rilevazioni e foto aeree scattate dalla U.S. Navy nel periodo 1960-64. La denominazione è stata assegnata dall'Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) perché il fondo della gola è completamente ricoperto da una morena glaciale. (it)
