[edit] Haag Nunataks

'''Haag Nunataks''' ({{coor dm|77|0|S|78|18|W|}}) is a three low elevations aligned nearly north-south The dominant central [[nunatak]] and the southern elevation have definite rock exposures; the minor northern elevation may be entirely snow covered. The feature was discovered by the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE) (1947-48), led by [[Finn Ronne]], who named it "[[Mount Haag]]" for [[Joseph Haag]], head of [[Todd Shipyards]], [[New York]], which worked on the expedition ship, Aerial photographs obtained by [[U.S. Navy Squadron VX]]-6 in 1966 show the feature to be a group of nunataks, not a [[mountain]], and the name is amended accordingly by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN).

[edit] Hanson Hill

'''Hanson Hill''' ({{coor dm|63|35|S|58|49|W|}}) is a snow-covered hill (900 m) with two lower summits, one to the north and one to the south, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of [[Cape Roquemaurel]] on [[Trinity Peninsula]]. This hill was roughly charted but left unnamed by the French expedition under Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville in March 1838. In 1948, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) gave the name "[[Thanaron Hill]]" to the feature. Their action followed a 1946 search by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) which failed to identify a coastal point in the vicinity to which d'Urville had given the name "[[Cap Thanaron]]." The latter feature (now [[Thanaron Point]]) was subsequently identified. In 1963, the UK-APC renamed the hill described after [[Thomas A. Hanson]], FIDS surveyor at [[Hope Bay]], 1957-59.

'''Hanson Ridge''' ({{coor dm|77|17|S|163|19|E|}}) is a prominent ice-free ridge situated 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of [[Spike Cape]], near the center of [[Wilson Piedmont Glacier]] in [[Victoria Land]]. The feature was "[[Black Ridge]]" on maps of the [[British Antarctic Expedition]] under Scott, 1910-13, but that name is already in use in Victoria Land. In order to avoid identical names it was renamed in 1964 by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for [[Kirby J. Hanson]], meteorologist at the [[South Pole Station]], 1958.
