Kennar Valley

Kennar Valley (77°46′S 160°25′E) is a small valley, ice free except for a lobe of ice marginal to Taylor Glacier at the mouth, located west of Finger Mountain in the Quartermain Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The name appears to be first used on a 1961 New Zealand Lands and Survey Department map compiled from New Zealand field surveys, 1957–60, and U.S. Navy aerial photographs of that period. It was named after Thomas Kennar, Royal Navy, Petty Officer on the RRS Discovery during the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, led by Captain R.F. Scott. In November 1903, Kennar and William J. Weller accompanied Hartley T. Ferrar in the first geological reconnaissance of the Quartermain Mountains.[1]
