Bromwich Terrace

Bromwich Terrace (79°28′S 157°13′E) is a high relatively flat ice-capped area of about 7 square miles (18 km²), in the Cook Mountains of Antarctica. It lies between Festive Plateau and Mount Longhurst on the north, and Starbuck Cirque and Mount Hughes on the south. At 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) elevation, the terrace is 200 metres (660 ft) below the adjoining Festive Plateau and 850 metres (2,800 ft) below towering Mount Longhurst. It was named after David H. Bromwich of the Polar Meteorology Group, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University, who carried out climatological investigations of Antarctica for over 20 years beginning about 1978.
