Gusty Gully

Gusty Gully (77°54′S 161°27′E / 77.900°S 161.450°E / -77.900; 161.450Coordinates: 77°54′S 161°27′E / 77.900°S 161.450°E / -77.900; 161.450) is a small north-south valley, the upper portion of which is occupied by a glacier, between Mount Kuipers and Knobhead in the Quartermain Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was so named by Alan Sherwood, New Zealand Geological Survey party leader to the area, 1987–88, from the strong winds observed here, similar to Windy Gully located 3 nautical miles (6 km) to the west.[1]
