Vestbanen Moraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vestbanen Moraine () is a medial moraine in Humboldt Graben, originating near Zwiesel Mountain and trending north in string-like fashion for 13 miles (21 km) along the west flank of the Petermann Ranges, Wohlthat Mountains. First plotted from air photos by German Antarctic Expedition, 1938-39. Remapped by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956-60, and named "Vestbanen" ("the west path"). The feature is similar to Austbanen Moraine which parallels it 7 miles (11 km) eastward.
