Gipps Ice Rise

Gipps Ice Rise ({{coord|68|46|S|60|56|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a roughly elliptical ice rise, {{convert|10|nmi|km}} long and bounded by an ice cliff on all sides, lying at the edge of the Larsen Ice Shelf about {{convert|35|nmi|km}} northeast of Hearst Island. The feature was discovered by William R. MacDonald of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), December 18, 1966, while on a photographic mapping mission of this area aboard a Super Constellation aircraft crewed by the U.S. Navy VXE-6 Squadron. The ice rise was first mapped from these photos by the USGS. The name was proposed by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Derek R. Gipps, a Senior Executive Officer with the British Antarctic Survey, 1961–73.
