Ormerod Terrace (77°18′30″S 160°34′29″E) is a ramplike rock platform, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long, that parallels the southern flank of McSaveney Spur in the Willett Range, and declines moderately toward the Webb Glacier. The terrace has a median elevation of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) and rises 300 metres (980 ft) above Caffin Valley. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2005 after Robin Ormerod, editor from 1984 to 1995 of Antarctic, the widely read publication of the New Zealand Antarctic Society.
