Henry Ice Rise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Ice Rise () is a triangular-shaped ice rise about 110 km (70 miles) long located between Korff Ice Rise and the southern portion of Berkner Island in the Ronne Ice Shelf. It was first visited by the US-IGY geophysical traverse party from Ellsworth Station, 1957-58, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Capt. Clifford D. Henry, Military Sealift Command, a veteran American polar sea captain and master of USNS Private John R. Towle. Henry died aboard his ship, February 16, 1975, while returning from his fourteenth voyage to Antarctica in support of the U.S. Antarctic Research Program.
