Kosco Peak


Kosco Peak is a prominent rock peak in the northern part of the Edson Hills, rising to about between Drake Icefall and Hyde Glacier, in the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs from 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after William J. Kosco. Kosco was a topographic engineer at the USGS from 1952–83 and was chief of the Polar Programs Office from 1975–83, with responsibility for Antarctic mapping.
