Bennett Platform (original) (raw)
Bennett Platform (85°13′S 177°50′W / 85.217°S 177.833°W) is a high, nearly flat, snow-free mesa of dark rock of Antarctica, about 5 nautical miles (9 km) long and 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) wide, located immediately east of Mount Black, on the west side of Shackleton Glacier. It was discovered and photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), on the flights of February 16, 1947, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Floyd Bennett, copilot on the Byrd North Pole Flight of May 1926.

| dbo:abstract | Die Bennett Platform (englisch) ist ein tafelbergartiges Hochplateau in der antarktischen Ross Dependency. Im Königin-Maud-Gebirge erstreckt sie sich unmittelbar östlich des Mount Black an der Westflanke des Shackleton-Gletschers über eine Länge von 8 km und eine Breite von 4 km. Entdeckt und fotografiert wurde sie bei Überflügen am 16. Februar 1947 während der US-amerikanischen Operation Highjump (1946–1947). Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte sie nach Floyd Bennett (1890–1928), Copilot beim missglückten Versuch Richard Evelyn Byrds im Mai 1926, den Nordpol mit dem Flugzeug zu erreichen.

(en) La Bennett Platform (in lingua inglese: Piattaforma Bennett), è una alta mesa antartica, quasi piatta e priva di neve, costituita da roccia scura, lunga 9 km e larga 5 km, situata subito a est del Monte Black, sul fianco occidentale del Ghiacciaio Shackleton, nei Monti della Regina Maud, in Antartide. La piattaforma fu avvistata per la prima volta e fotografata nel corso dell'Operazione Highjump (1946–47) della U.S. Navy, durante i voli del 16 febbraio 1947. La denominazione è stata assegnata dall'Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in onore di Floyd Bennett, copilota sul volo verso il Polo Sud compiuto nel maggio 1926 dall'esploratore polare statunitense Byrd, nel fallito tentativo di raggiungere il Polo Sud via aereo.
