Walsh Knob

Walsh Knob (72°13′S 96°3′W) is a small but distinctive ice-covered elevation that rises midway along the south side of Lofgren Peninsula in east Thurston Island. The feature has a rounded appearance except for a cliff at the south side. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after R.W. Walsh, Photographer's Mate in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas, 1946–47
