Hough Glacier
Glacier in Antarctica
78°32′S 84°20′W / 78.533°S 84.333°W / -78.533; -84.333
Hough Glacier (78°32′S 84°20′W / 78.533°S 84.333°W / -78.533; -84.333) is a glacier in central Doyran Heights in the Sentinel Range of Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica, rising just south of Mount Tuck and flowing east-southeast for 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) between Guerrero Glacier and Remington Glacier. It was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1957–59, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William S. Hough, who made ionosphere studies at South Pole Station in 1957.[1]
