Haslam Heights

The Haslam Heights (67°25′S 67°30′W / 67.417°S 67.500°W / -67.417; -67.500Coordinates: 67°25′S 67°30′W / 67.417°S 67.500°W / -67.417; -67.500) are a line of peaks trending north-northeast–south-southwest, rising to about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) to the west of Vallot Glacier and Nye Glacier in Arrowsmith Peninsula, Graham Land, Antarctica. They were probably first seen by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10. They were roughly mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1948, and named in 1985 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Rear Admiral Sir David W. Haslam, Hydrographer of the Navy, 1975–85.[1]
