[edit] Mount Zdarsky
'''Mount Zdarsky''' ({{coor dm|66|5|S|64|58|W|}}) is a [[mountain]] rising at the east side of [[Simler Snowfield]], between Barilari and [[Holtedahl Bays]] on the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First charted and named "[[Mont Garcia]]" by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot, 1908-10, presumably in association with his nearby "[[Cap Garcia]]." Charcot later transferred "Cap Garcia" (now [[Cape Garcia]]) to the north entrance of [[Barilari Bay]], leaving the mountain name on the south side. To avoid confusion with Cape Garcia on the other side of Barilari Bay, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) altered the name of this mountain in 1959 to Mount Zdarsky. Named for [[Mathias Zdarsky]], Austrian pioneer exponent of ski-mountaineering, inventor of the first dependable ski binding, and author of one of the earliest skiing manuals.

'''Zonda Glacier''' ({{coor dm|69|33|S|68|30|W|}}) is a [[glacier]] about 8 [[Mile|mile]]s (13 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, flowing west-southwest between [[Fohn Bastion]] and [[Zonda Towers]] into [[George VI Sound]]. The glacier was included in surveys by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), 1948, and [[British Antarctic Survey]] (BAS), 1971-72, and was photographed from the air by the [[U.S. Navy]], 1966. The name applied by [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1977 continues the theme of wind names in the area. Zonda is the Argentine name for the warm dry wind descending the east slopes of the Andes.

[edit] Zumberge Coast
'''Zumberge Coast''' ({{coor dm|78|0|S|74|0|W|}}) is that portion of the east coast of [[Ellsworth Land]] between [[Cape Zumberge]] and the south entrance point to [[Hercules Inlet]]. Overlooking the west part of [[Ronne Ice Shelf]], this coast was mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photographs taken 1961-66 and Landsat imagery taken 1973-74. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 1986 after [[James H. Zumberge]] (1923-92), American geologist and glaciologist who directed research on [[Ross Ice Shelf]], 1957-64; Chairman, Committee on [[Polar Research]] (later [[Polar Research Board]]) of NAS, 1972-76; President, [[Scientific Committee]] on [[Antarctic Research]] (SCAR), 1982-86; President, University of [[Southern California]], 1980-91.

[edit] Cape Zumberge
'''Cape Zumberge''' ({{coor dm|76|14|S|69|40|W|}}) is a steep rock cape on the west side of the [[Ronne Ice Shelf]], marking the southwest end of the [[Orville Coast]] of [[Ellsworth Land]]. The name "[[Zumberge Nunatak]]" was given by the US-IGY party from [[Ellsworth Station]], 1957-58, to a rock feature reported to lie 30 [[Mile|mile]]s (48 [[Kilometer|km]]) north of the westernmost traverse station occupied by the party. The cape described, though somewhat farther north, is apparently the only rock feature lying in that direction. Named for [[James H. Zumberge]], American glaciologist who has made studies of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]].
