Hercules Neve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hercules Neve () is a névé at the north margin of Mountaineer Range in Victoria Land. It is bounded by Deception Plateau, Astronaut Glacier, Retreat Hills, and by such western tributaries to the Mariner Glacier as Meander and Gair Glaciers. Named by the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1966-67, in appreciation of the party's transport into the field by U.S. Navy C-130 Hercules aircraft, also as an indication to future parties of a possible C-130 landing place.
