Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Airdevronsix Icefalls are a line of icefalls at the head of Wright Upper Glacier, in Victoria Land. Named by U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze (1956-57) for U.S. Navy Air Development Squadron Six, which had been formed to provide air support for the Deep Freeze operations and which had also carried out many important Antarctic exploratory flights. This icefall, which measures approximately 3 miles (5 km) wide and 1,300 ft (400 m) tall, is formed by the glacier spilling from the Polar Plateau forming the Wright Upper Glacier as it flows into the Wright Valley below.
