Belgica Subglacial Highlands

Geographic area in Antarctica


The Belgica Subglacial Highlands are a group of subglacial highlands to the southeast of Dome Charlie in Wilkes Land, Antarctica, running north–south and separating Peacock Subglacial Trench and Adventure Subglacial Trench from Wilkes Subglacial Basin. The feature was delineated by the SPRINSFTUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967–79, and named after the Belgica, the ship of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache.[1]
