Hughes Basin (80°19′S 156°18′E / 80.317°S 156.300°E) is a large basinlike névé in the Britannia Range of Antarctica which is bounded except to the south by the Ravens Mountains, Mount Henderson, and Mount Quackenbush. The feature is 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and the ice surface descends north–south from 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) near Mount Olympus to 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) near Darnell Nunatak, where there is discharge to Byrd Glacier. It was named after of the Department of Geological Sciences and the Institute of Quaternary Studies at the University of Maine, Orono, who made an intensive study of the Byrd Glacier in 1978–79, entailing photogrammetric determination of the elevation of the ice surface and its velocity, radio-echo sounding from LC-130 aircraft, and ground survey fro

  • Das Hughes-Becken ist ein großes Firnfeld in Form eines Beckens, das abgesehen von der Südseite von den Ravens Mountains, Mount Henderson, Mount Olympus und Mount Quackenbush eingefasst wird. Das Becken hat ein Nord-Süd-Gefälle von 2000 m Höhe nahe Mount Olympus auf 1000 m Höhe unweit des Darnell-Nunatak, wo es in den Byrd-Gletscher übergeht. Benannt ist es nach dem Geologen Terence J. Hughes von der der University of Maine, der in der Saison 1978/1979 intensive Untersuchungen und Vermessungsarbeiten am Byrd-Gletscher vornahm. (de)
