Lidke Ice Stream

Lidke Ice Stream (73°57′S 77°20′W) is an ice stream about 25 nautical miles (50 km) long flowing north into Stange Sound, east of Mount Benkert, on the English Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1961–66, and was first visited by a USGS field party in January 1985. The ice stream was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after USGS geologist David J. Lidke, a member of the field party.[1]
