Gonzalez Spur

Gonzalez Spur (77°30′S 161°48′E) is a prominent rock spur 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) long that extends east-southeast from the 1,700-meter (5,600 ft) high Goldich Crest in the Olympus Range of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. The spur descends to 500 meters (1,600 ft) at the eastern extremity where it overhangs Wright Valley and forms the west side of the south entrance to higher Bull Pass. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2004) after Angel Gonzalez, Manager of the U.S. Antarctic Resource Center, U.S. Geological Survey, 1996–2004.
