Spillway Icefall
# Spillway Icefall

Spillway Icefall (85°1′S 166°22′W﻿ / ﻿85.017°S 166.367°W﻿ / -85.017; -166.367) is an icefall descending northward through central Duncan Mountains to Amundsen Coast on the coast of Antarctica.

The icefall cascades through the mountains giving the appearance of a turbulent spillway on a dam.

The descriptive name was approved by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) from a proposal by Edmund Stump, geologist, Arizona State University, who worked in this area, 1974–75.
