From Wikishire
The Barnes Icefalls are an icefall (which is to say a crevassed, slowly tumbling section of a glacier) on the Washington Escarpment of the Neptune Range in the Pensacola Mountains of Queen Elizabeth Land, within the British Antarctic Territory
The icefall was photographed from the air by the United States Navy in 1964 and surveyed from the ground by the United States Geological Survey in 1965-66; and named after James C. Barnes, US meteorologist and Officer-in-charge, "Ellsworth Station", winter 1962.[1]
