Miller Ice Rise

Miller Ice Rise (69°5′S 67°37′W / 69.083°S 67.617°W / -69.083; -67.617) is an ice rise nearly 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long and 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) wide at the ice front (1974) of Wordie Ice Shelf, 16 nautical miles (30 km) west-northwest of Triune Peaks, in south Marguerite Bay. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1948–49, the ice rise was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1966. It was named, in 1977, by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Richard Miller,a U.S. Navy chief radioman at Palmer Station in the winter party of 1968.
