Simler Snowfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simler Snowfield () is a snowfield lying northeast of Holtedahl Bay, on the west coast of Graham Land. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956-57, and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 for Josias Simler (1530-76), who wrote the first reasonable advice on precautions for travel on glaciers, in 1574.
