Jones Terrace
Jones Terrace (77°30′S 162°4′E / 77.500°S 162.067°E) is a prominent ice free terrace south of Mount Peleus, at the south end of the eastern segment of the Olympus Range, in Victoria Land. The terrace rises 800 metres (2,600 ft) from the floor of the central Wright Valley to a summit of over 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (1997) after Lois M. Jones, a geologist with the University of Georgia, leader of a 1969–1970 research party in the McMurdo Dry Valleys.[1]
