Hutcheson Nunataks
The Hutcheson Nunataks () are a small group of nunataks along the north side of Balchen Glacier, about midway between the Phillips Mountains and Abele Nunatak, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. They were discovered and mapped by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Guy Hutcheson, a radio engineer with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition 1933–35.
Abele Nunatak
Abele Nunatak () is a nunatak lying east of Hutcheson Nunataks at the head of Balchen Glacier, in Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped using surveys made by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and U.S. Navy aerial photos from 1959–65, and later named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after C.A. Abele, Jr., a member of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933–35).
