Bonney Bowl

Bonney Bowl is a cirque to the southeast of Sumgin Buttress in the west-central part of the Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range. It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1968โ€“71. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in this area, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 after the Reverend Thomas George Bonney (1833โ€“1923), English geologist who worked on the origin of cirques; he was Professor of Geology, University College London, 1877โ€“1901.
