Wormald Ice Piedmont

The Wormald Ice Piedmont covers large parts of the Wright Peninsula on eastern Adelaide Island, Antarctica, and terminates in high ice cliffs on Laubeuf Fjord. The nunatak in the centre of the picture has a height of 398 m. The mountains on the right form part of the Stokes Peaks and mark the northern edge of the ice piedmont. On the far left a melting pond can be seen on the ice. Viewing direction is toward the NNW.

The Wormald Ice Piedmont (67°29′S 68°5′W / 67.483°S 68.083°WCoordinates: 67°29′S 68°5′W / 67.483°S 68.083°W) is an ice piedmont covering the eastern part of Wright Peninsula, Adelaide Island, Antarctica, between Rothera Point and Sighing Peak. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1961–62, and by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) from 1976.

It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1977 after Steven Wormald, a prominent former BAS staff member.
