Glossopteris Gully

Glossopteris Gully (70°51′S 68°6′E) is a steep-sided, narrow gully on the east side of Bainmedart Cove, Radok Lake, in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. A three-man Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions party camped near the mouth of the gully for a month in January–February, 1969. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after the Glossopteris fossil plant found in the upper part of the gully.[1]
