Cape Waite (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Cape Waite is a cape at the northwest extremity of King Peninsula, marking the southwest side of the entrance to Peacock Sound. Delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation HIGHJUMP in December 1946. Named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for , member of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35, and communications specialist on the Atka voyage of 1955 and the of 1959–60. Waite was investigating the high number of aircraft crashes in Antarctica when he discovered that certain radar frequencies were not reflected from the surface of the ice, they penetrated through to the land surface below, giving false altimeter readings. This discovery both made flight much safer and started the use of radioglaciology to survey the topography of the land surface beneath the ice.

dbo:abstract Das Kap Waite ist ein Kap an der Grenze zwischen Walgreen- und Eights-Küste des ostantarktischen Ellsworthlands. Es befindet sich am nordwestlichen Ende der King-Halbinsel und begrenzt südwestlich die Einfahrt zum Peacock-Sund bzw. nordwestlich diejenige zur Ferrero Bay. Erfasst wurde es über Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy bei der Operation Highjump im Dezember 1946. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte es 1960 nach Amory Hooper Waite Jr. (1902–1985), einem Teilnehmer an der zweiten Antarktisexpedition (1933–1935) des US-amerikanischen Polarforschers Richard Evelyn Byrd, an der Fahrt auf dem Eisbrecher Atka im Jahr 1955 sowie an die Expedition der US Navy in die Bellingshausen-See (1959–1960).
