Cape Waldron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Waldron () is an ice-covered cape in Antarctica, just westward of Totten Glacier. It was delineated by G.D. Blodgett (1955) from aerial photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for R.R. Waldron, purser on the sloop Vincennes of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-42) under Lt. Charles Wilkes.
