Wright Upper Glacier is an ice apron at the upper west end of Wright Valley in the Asgard Range. It is formed by a glacier flowing east from the inland ice plateau.[4]
Taylor Glacier is a glacier in Antarctica about 35 nautical miles (65 km; 40 mi) long, flowing from the plateau of Victoria Land into the western end of Taylor Valley, north of the Kukri Hills.[5] It flows to the south of the Asgard Range. The middle part of the glacier is bounded on the north by the Inland Forts.
Taylor Valley is an ice-free valley about 18 nautical miles (33 km; 21 mi) long, once occupied by the receding Taylor Glacier. It lies north of the Kukri Hills between the Taylor Glacier and New Harbour.[6] It defines the south boundary of the Asgard Range.
The Asgard Range contains numerous named features such as peaks, valleys, and glaciers, and even some sub-ranges. Many are named after Norse gods and mythological figures, in keeping with the name of the range itself. Major features, from west to east, include:
Pearse Valley is an ice-free valley 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) long, lying immediately west of Catspaw Glacier, at the south side of the Asgard Range.[10]
Mount Odin is the most prominent peak, though not the highest, in the Asgard Range. It rises over 2,000 m (6,600 ft) just south of Lake Vanda.[11]
Horowitz Ridge is a rock ridge between David Valley and King Valley.[12]
Mount Newall is a peak, 1,920 metres (6,300 ft) high, the northeast extremity of Asgard Range.[7]
Flint Ridge is a north-south trending ridge with a summit elevation of 995 metres (3,264 ft).[15]
MacDonald Hills is a compact group of exposed rock hills in the Asgard Range, east of Commonwealth Glacier on the north side of lower Taylor Valley.[16]
