[edit] Hoopers Shoulder

'''Hoopers Shoulder''' ({{coor dm|77|32|S|166|53|E|}}) is an independent cone at an elevation of 1,800 m on the west slopes of [[Mount Erebus]] on [[Ross Island]]. From [[McMurdo Sound]] it appears as a perfect pyramid of black rock, standing out as a splendid mark against the background of the ice and almost on a line from [[Cape Royds]] to the crater of Mount Erebus. The cone itself is about 100 m high and is surrounded by a deep moat or ditch, caused by the sweeping action of strong winds. It was named by [[F. Debenham]] on the second ascent of Mount Erebus for [[F.J. Hooper]], a steward of the [[British Antarctic Expedition]], 1910-13. Hooper was one of the party making the second ascent.

Charted by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the [[Lars Christensen Expedition]] (1936-37), who gave the name Hopoy. They charted the feature as being even larger, including a southern arm enclosing a [[cove]]. The feature was more accurately delineated by [[John H.

[edit] Mount Hope

'''Mount Hope''' ({{coor dm|69|46|S|64|34|W|}}) is a massive [[mountain]] rising to 2,860 m, forming the central and highest [[peak]] of [[Eternity Range]], northern [[Palmer Land]]. First seen from the air and named Mount Hope by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] during his flights of November 21 and 23, 1935. The mountain was surveyed and given the name [[Mount Wakefield]] by [[J.R. Rymill]] of [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) in November 1936. The feature was subsequently photographed from the air by the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) in September 1940, and by [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE) in December 1947. A careful study of the reports, maps, and photographs of these expeditions, as well as additional survey of the area by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1960, has led to the conclusion that Ellsworth's Mount Hope and Rymill's Mount Wakefield are synonymous. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Hope has been retained for this mountain (the name Wakefield has been transferred to [[Wakefield Highland]] located close northwestward). This mountain is one of three major mountains in Ellsworth's Eternity Range to which he gave the names Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Named "[[Hordern Island]]" by Mawson for [[Sir Samuel Hordern]] of Sydney, a patron of the AAE.

[edit] Horowitz Ridge

'''Horowitz Ridge''' ({{coor dm|77|37|S|162|5|E|}}) is a rock ridge between David and [[King Valleys]] in the [[Asgard Range]], [[Victoria Land]].

The studies were undertaken (1966-68) by a [[United States Antarctic Research Program]] (USARP) biological party led by [[Roy E. Cameron]], who suggested the naming.

[edit] Hovde Glacier

'''Hovde Glacier''' ({{coor dm|69|15|S|76|55|E|}}) is a small [[glacier]] just west of [[Brattstrand Bluffs]] on the southeast shore of [[Prydz Bay]].

This glacier was named "[[Hovde Ice Tongue]]" by [[John H.
