  Global Volcanism Program | Waesche | Summary
Mount Waesche is the southernmost of a N-S-trending chain of volcanoes in central Marie Byrd Land.
Mount Waesche is located 20 km SW of Pliocene Mount Sidley, Antarctica's highest volcano, and was constructed on the SE rim of the 10-km-wide Chang Peak caldera.
Waesche may have been active during the Holocene and is a possible source of ash layers in the Byrd Station ice core that were deposited during the past 30,000 years.

 Mount Sidley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Sidley is a massive, mainly snow-covered mountain which is the highest and most imposing of the five extinct volcanic mountains that comprise the Executive Committee Range of Marie Byrd Land.
The feature is marked by a spectacular caldera on the southern side and stands NE of Mount Waesche in the southern part of the range.
Discovered by Rear Admiral Byrd on an airplane flight, November 18, 1934, and named by him for Mabelle E. Sidley, the daughter of William Horlick, manufacturer, who was a contributor to the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933-35.

Mount Waesche is the southernmost of the five major volcanoes in the Executive Committee Range, which dominates the terrain of central Marie Byrd Land.
Mount Sidley, the highest point in the range.
Mount Waesche is the youngest volcano in the range, with its main cone built within the past million years, and it forms a high rounded summit on the southwestern edge of an older caldera, which is over 6 miles (10 km) in diameter.

 NMBGMR Staff - Nelia W. Dunbar - Direct Dating and Geochemical Correlations of Englacial Tephra Layers at two Sites in ...
The stratigraphy and morphology of many of the englacial tephra layers suggests that the layers were deposited on snow at the time of the volcanic eruption, and were incorporated into the ice with little reworking or mixing, indicating that the age of the tephra layer is truly representative of the age of the surrounding ice.
In contrast to Mt. Moulton, the Mt. Waesche site, located at between 1900-2000 meters elevation in a blue ice field on the south side of the volcano, displays a complex, deformed stratigraphy (Figure 2).
The tephra layers at Mt. Waesche are dominantly either coarse and basanitic, probably of local derivation, or fine and trachytic, mainly derived from Mt. Berlin or Mt. Takahe.

 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HELICOPTER
Despite the mounting threat to shipping, the development of helicopters slowed for a year, due to differences between the Army and Navy.
On the same day Kossler was appointed by Waesche to head the program, Harvey Johnson, engineer in chief at headquarters, directed Kossler to establish a close liaison and coordinate activities with the Bureau of Aeronautics, the Maritime Commission, the Army Air Force and the British who were also interested in the project.
Waesche fought to get money for the helicopter program at a time when it looked as if it could be canceled due to the diminished attacks on American merchant shipping.

 Skiing the Pacific Ring of Fire and Beyond: Mount Sidley
Mount Sidley is the highest volcano in Antarctica and also the highest mountain in Marie Byrd Land.
Yet Mount Sidley is an outstanding mountain, a steep-sided shield volcano whose 3 mile (5 km) wide summit caldera has been shattered by an explosive eruption about 4.7 million years ago, the last major activity known to have occurred.
This blew out most of the south side of the rim, forming a basin (called Weiss Amphitheater on the map) which is open to the south, with extensive hydrovolcanic deposits from the subglacial eruption extending outward for several miles.

 Mount Waesche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Waesche is a large and prominent mountain of volcanic origin, standing immediately SW of Mount Sidley and marking the southern end of the Executive Committee Range in Marie Byrd Land.
The volcano may have been active as late as the Holocene (last 10,000 years), and may be only presently dormant.
Discovered by the United States Antarctic Service expedition on a flight, December 15, 1940, and named for V. Admiral Russell R. Waesche, U.S. Coast Guard, member of the Antarctic Service Executive Committee.

However, blue ice at Mt. Waesche is more representative of the WAIS, and some of the Mt. Waesche tephra layers contain large enough potassium feldspar to appear promising for 40Ar/39Ar dating.
A further approach to age constraint, that will be applicable to tephra layers found in the WAIS cores, is to geochemically correlate undated, or undateable tephra layers to a layer of known age.
The tephra layers at Mt. Waesche range from basanitic to rhyolitic, with a number of trachytic layers that are compositionally-similar to those found at Mt. Moulton.

 Crater Lake National Park: Nature Notes 1934
In trying to get some conception of the height and shape of old Mount Mazama, we are aided by the knowledge that mountains of the explosive type (which is the rule on the Pacific rim) the slopes follow approximately the sine curve.
This vision is truth as seen by the imagination, an explanation, in fact, of the destruction of Mount Mazama and the creation of the lake within its hollow and shattered walls.
To complete the story, I might add that Mount Scott was named for Levi Scott, a member of my grandfather Applegate's expedition in the initial exploration of southern Oregon and the blazing of the Applegate Trail in 1846.

Mount Andrus is the highest and oldest of three overlapping shield volcanoes which form the Ames Range, located about 60 miles (100 km) northeast of Mount Berlin.
The other volcanoes are Mounts Kosciusko and Kauffman, which are several million years younger than the roughly 11 million year old Mount Andrus.
This is an exceptionally long gap of over 10 million years since the main shield of Mount Andrus was constructed.

An examination of the winter weather reports since 1926 reveals that the lake had never frozen during that time.
However, in The Providence Manual of Information, compiled by the ranger-naturalist staff of 1934, H. Waesche reported that the lake was frozen over for two days in 1924.
He adds that E. Applegate "suspects" that it was frozen at times during the winter of 1897-98 when the temperature at Fort Klamath reached -42° F. Although the lake often has skim ice sometimes over its whole surface, its resistance to freezing is due to the heat reservoir in the immense volume of water.

Although not part of the West Antarctic ice sheet, the Mount Moulton site certainly holds some of the oldest ice West Antarctica, and should contain a long and detailed climate record.
In contrast to Mt. Moulton, the Mt. Waesche site, located at between 1900-2000 meters elevation in a blue ice field on the south side of the volcano, displays a complex, deformed stratigraphy.
Although displaying boudin-shaped features, the thicker tephra layers at Mt. Waesche appear relatively undeformed, whereas some of the thinner, intercalated layers are strongly isoclinally folded.

Mount Waesche volcano is a nunatak protruding through the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) near the Marie Byrd Land dome.
Glacial debris, composed of tephra and lava flows erupted onto the ice surface, form moraine bands on the flank of the volcano that record past ice sheet elevations up to 80 m above the present ice surface.
The distribution of exposure ages on the upper debris bands most likely results from successive advances of cold based ice over older deposits.

The lead author is Howard Conway, a University of Washington research associate professor of geophysics, and two other co-authors are Edwin Waddington and Anthony Gades, also of UW.
The article by Borns, Fastook and their colleagues combines glacial geologic evidence from Mount Waesche, an Antarctic volcano, with the results of a computer model of the ice sheet to get a better picture of how the thickness of the WAIS has shrunk since the end of the Ice Age.
They conclude that the ice sheet has shrunk at least 45 meters (146 feet) and as much as 85 meters (276 feet) from its highest level on the side of the volcano about 9,000 years ago.

On 5 December 1942, the voluntary enlistment of men between the ages of 18 and 37, inclusive, was ordered terminated as of 1 February 1943, on which latter date the manpower requirements of the Navy were supplied by operation of the machinery of the Selective Service system.
The increase in the size of the Coast Guard was necessitated chiefly by additional duties in connection with captain-of-the-port activities in the regulation of merchant Page 28 shipping, the supervision of the loading of explosives, and the protection of shipping, harbors, and waterfront facilities.
Under the general direction of Vice Admiral (now Admiral) R.
