Description (see definition): A snow-covered highland in central Antarctic Peninsula, bounded to the N by Hermes Glacier and the heads of Weyerhaeuser and Aphrodite Glaciers, to the W by the heads of Airy, Rotz and Seller Glaciers, to the S by Fleming Glacier and to the E by the heads of Lurabee, Sunfix and Grimley Glaciers. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) on Dec. 22, 1947. Surveyed by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in Nov. 1960. Named after Viscount Wakefield of Hythe, a contributor to British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934-37. This toponym, concurred in by UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) and Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN), restores the name Wakefield in the vicinity of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE)'s displaced "Mount Wakefield" (now Mount Hope).
