Fuchs Ice Piedmont

Fuchs Ice Piedmont (67°10’0"S, 68°40’0"W) is an ice piedmont (which is to say an ice covering on a coastal strip below mountains) 70 nautical miles long, extending in a northeast–southwest direction along the entire west coast of Adelaide Island, which lies off the west coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

This feature was first mapped in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. It was named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey for Sir Vivian E. Fuchs, the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey base leader and geologist at Stonington Island in 1948–49.
