Venetz Peak
Venetz Peak is a peak rising to about 1,500 m and surmounting the southeast rim of Bonney Bowl in the Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range. It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1967 and surveyed by British Antarctic Survey between 1968–71. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in this area, it was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 after Ignaz Venetz-Sitten, a Swiss engineer and glacial geologist who, in 1821, first expressed in detail the idea that alpine glaciers were formerly much more extensive.
