Watanuki Pond

Lake

Watanuki Pond is a pond lying 1.7 nautical miles south-southwest of Apollo Peak in the northwest part of the Labyrinth of Wright Valley. The pond is also positioned as being 0.25 nautical miles east-northeast of Kurasawa Pond and 0.8 m east of the Wright Upper Glacier terminus.

Anvil Pond

Lake

The Labyrinth is an extensive flat upland area which has been deeply eroded, at the west end of Wright Valley, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was so named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition because the eroded dolerite of which it is formed gives an appearance of a labyrinth.

Pentecost Cirque

Valley

The Olympus Range is a primarily ice-free mountain range of Victoria Land, Antarctica, with peaks over 2,000 metres high, between Victoria Valley and McKelvey Valley on the north and Wright Valley on the south.
