Lawson Creek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lawson Creek () is a meltwater stream, 400 m long, flowing southeast from the southwest tip of Rhone Glacier to the northwest corner of Lake Chad in Taylor Valley, Victoria Land. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1996 after Wendy Julia Lawson, glaciologist, University of Canterbury, New Zealand, leader of an expedition that studied glacial processes on Taylor Glacier during the 1992 and 1993 summer seasons.
