Walsh Spur (72°40′S 169°22′E / 72.667°S 169.367°E) is a pointed rock spur 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of Mount Northampton in the Victory Mountains of Victoria Land. The spur forms the west side of the terminus of Whitehall Glacier. First mapped from surveys by New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1957–58, and U.S. Navy aerial photography. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Commander Don Walsh, U.S. Navy, special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research and Development, 1971–72. In 1960, with Jacques Piccard, Walsh descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Trieste.

dbo:abstract
  • Der Walsh Spur ist ein spitzer Gebirgskamm in den Victory Mountains im ostantarktischen Viktorialand. Er ragt 6 km östlich des Mount Northampton an der Westflanke des Whitehall-Gletschers kurz vor dessen Mündung in das Tucker Inlet auf. Vermessungen durch Wissenschaftler einer von 1957 bis 1958 durchgeführten Kampagne der New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition sowie Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy dienten seiner Kartierung. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte ihn 1973 nach dem US-amerikanischen Ozeanographen Don Walsh (* 1931), der von 1971 bis 1972 im Dienst des Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research and Development im United States Department of the Navy tätig war.
