Austbanen Moraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Austbanen Moraine () is a medial moraine in the glacier between Westliche and Mittlere Petermann Ranges in the Wohlthat Mountains, originating at Svarttindane Peaks and trending north for 12 miles. First roughly plotted from air photos by German Antarctic Expedition, 1938-39. Mapped by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956-60, from air photos and surveys and named "Austbanen" ("the east path"). Vestbanen Moraine, a similar paralleling feature, lies 7 miles (11 km) westward.
