Quervain Peak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quervain Peak () is a peak in the central part of the Boyle Mountains in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1956-59, it was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Alfred de Quervain, a Swiss glaciologist who in 1909 first applied photogrammetric methods to the measurement of surface glacier flow.
