The Cashman Crags (77°32′S 166°51′E) are two rock summits at about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) on the west slope of Mount Erebus, Ross Island, Antarctica. The feature is 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) southwest of Hoopers Shoulder. It was, at the suggestion of P.R. Kyle, named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2000) after Katherine V. Cashman, United States Antarctic Research Program team member on Mount Erebus in 1978–79 while a Fulbright scholar at Victoria University of Wellington; worked again on Mount Erebus, 1988–89; later Professor of Geology, University of Oregon.
