[edit] Mount Nipha

'''Mount Nipha''' ({{coor dm|78|9|S|167|24|E|}}) is a hill, 760 m, standing almost precisely in the center of [[White Island]], in the [[Ross Archipelago]]. Nipha is a Greek word for snow. So named by the [[New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition]] (NZGSAE) (1958-59) because the hill is surrounded by ice and snow.

[edit] Mount Normann

'''Mount Normann''' ({{coor dm|54|51|S|36|4|W|}}) is a [[mountain]], 1,240 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) north of [[Smaaland Cove]] at the south end of [[South Georgia]]. The feature has appeared on charts since the 1930s. It was surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) for [[Wilhelm Normann]] (1870-1939), German chemist, whose work led to the introduction in about 1907 of the hydrogenation process for hardening whale oil.

'''Normanna Reef''' ({{coor dm|64|21|S|62|59|W|}}) is a reef lying near the center of the south entrance to [[The Sound]] in the [[Melchior Islands]], [[Palmer Archipelago]]. The name appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by DI personnel, but this may reflect an earlier naming by whalers. The name presumably derives from the [[Normanna Whaling Co]]. of Sandefjord, Norway, or one of its ships that worked in this area.

'''Norths Highland''' ({{coor dm|66|40|S|126|0|E|}}) is an ice-covered upland close south of [[Cape Goodenough]], surmounting the [[Banzare Coast]] between Maury and [[Porpoise Bays]]. The name "North's [[High Land]]" after [[James H. North]], acting master on the brig Porpoise, was applied to an elevated coastal area by the [[United States Exploring Expedition]] (1838-42) under Wilkes. Subsequently, because of inadequate data regarding the nature of this feature, the name "[[Norths Coast]]" was applied to a coastal area in the vicinity of 12745E [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN)'s identification of Norths Highland is based upon correlation of Wilkes' chart with [[G.D. Blodgett]]'s reconnaissance map (1955) compiled from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]] (1946-47). The name is adopted for this recently verified upland region in 12600E in keeping with Wilkes' original naming.

[edit] Noxon Cliff

'''Noxon Cliff''' ({{coor dm|77|32|S|163|5|E|}}) is an east-west trending cliff at the south end of [[Flint Ridge]] in [[Asgard Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. The cliff encloses the north flank of [[Commonwealth Glacier]] where it rises from 50 to 150 m above the [[glacier]]. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) (1997) after [[John F. Noxon]], who pioneered the technique of visible spectroscopy for measurements of stratospheric trace gases, particularly nitrogen dioxide. By 1975, he began making measurements of nitrogen dioxide column as a function of latitude, and was surprised to discover an abrupt decrease in the amounts in Arctic air as compared to values observed at lower latitudes. This unexpected phenomenon, width implications for later ozone depletion studies, became known as the "Noxon cliff". In 1978, Noxon sailed on RV Hero from Ushuaia, and quickly confirmed that a "cliff" in nitrogen dioxide is also found in the Antarctic atmosphere.
