Mercator Ice Piedmont : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mercator Ice Piedmont Mercator Ice Piedmont () is a gently-sloping ice piedmont at the head of Mobiloil Inlet, formed by the confluence of the Gibbs, Lammers, Cole and Weyerhaeuser Glaciers in eastern Graham Land, Antarctica. The feature was first photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth in November 1935, and was plotted from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg as the lower end of a "major valley depression" along the coast. It was first seen from the ground by Finn Ronne and Carl R. Eklund of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, which also obtained air photos. The ice piedmont was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in December 1958, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Flemish mathematician and geographer Gerardus Mercator, the originator, in 1568, of the map projection which bears his name.〔 ==References==
