Because Dorsa Mawson is running south of Messier G (Lindbergh) and Goclenius A (Ibn Battuta), all orbital Apollo photographs which show Dorsa Mawson (or parts of Dorsa Mawson) should be online in the LPI's lists of Messier G and Goclenius A. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Aug 22, 2011

Additional Information


Nomenclature

Douglas; English-Australian Antarctic explorer (1882-1958).
  • This name was approved, along with one other unrelated [/dorsum dorsa], in 1979 ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIIB IAU Transactions XVIIB]). The citation mentions that the feature extends from "09.0S, 050.5E to 06.0S, 054.0E" giving an unusually clear indication for what the name is meant to represent. The name does not appear on LTO 80A4 (November, 1974), which depicts (somewhat vaguely) Dorsa Mawson's northeastern end. - JimMosher JimMosher
