The Meyer Desert is a triangular ice-free area of about 50 square miles (130 km2) at the northern end of the Dominion Range, Antarctica, near the confluence of Beardmore Glacier and Mill Glacier. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition of 1961–62 for of the United States Antarctic Research Program, who was scientific leader at McMurdo Station in 1961, and led a field party into this area in the summer of 1961–62.

  • Die Meyer Desert (englisch für Meyer-Wüste) ist eine dreieckige, eisfreie und 80 km² große Hochebene in der antarktischen Ross Dependency. Im Königin-Maud-Gebirge liegt dieses winddurchtoste und mit Doleritgranulat überstreute Areal am nördlichen Ende der Dominion Range nahe der Mündung des Mill-Gletschers in den Beardmore-Gletscher. Wissenschaftler einer von 1961 bis 1962 durchgeführten Kampagne im Rahmen der New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition benannten sie nach George H. Meyer von der University of Texas at Austin, wissenschaftlicher Leiter der McMurdo-Station im Jahr 1961, der zur Zeit der neuseeländischen Kampagne eine Mannschaft zur Erkundung dieses Gebiets geleitet hatte.

A paper from 2003 reports the discovery of the first freshwater mollusc remains from Antarctica in the Meyer Desert Formation. These include both an unidentified fragmentary lymnaeid (a freshwater snail), and an unidentified true Pisidium (a freshwater bivalve). (en)
  • Il Meyer Desert (in lingua inglese: area desertica di Meyer) è una zona di forma triangolare e priva di ghiaccio che si estende su una superficie di 50 miglia quadre (130 km²), all'estremità settentrionale del Dominion Range, catena montuosa che fa parte dei Monti della Regina Maud, in Antartide. Si tratta di un'area desertica posizionata vicino alla confluenza tra il Ghiacciaio Beardmore e il Ghiacciaio Mill. La denominazione è stata assegnata dalla New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition del 1961-62 in onore di George Meyer, dell'United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP), responsabile scientifico presso la Stazione McMurdo nel 1961 e che aveva guidato un gruppo di ricerca in quest'area nell'estate 1961-62. Uno studio del 2003 riporta la scoperta dei resti del primo mollusco di acqua dolce rinvenuto nell'Antartide, avvenuta nel Meyer Desert. I ritrovamenti includono sia un frammento di un Lymnaeidae non identificato (una chiocciola di acqua dolce), che di un non identificato (un bivalve di acqua dolce). (it)
