Hemmen Ice Rise

Hemmen Ice Rise () is an ice rise 18 km long and 2 to 4 km wide, with an estimated area of 55 km², located 17 km off the northwest corner of Berkner Island in Ronne Ice Shelf. The feature appears for the first time on a chart prepared at Ellsworth Station in 1957 by Captain Finn Ronne, USNR. The ice rise was subsequently noted in U.S. Earth Resources Technology Satellite imagery. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for George E. Hemmen, Executive Secretary of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, 1972; he served with Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) as meteorological observer at Admiralty Bay, 1952–53, and Base Leader at Deception Island, 1953–54, and with the Royal Society Antarctic Expedition, 1956.
