Lichte Trough

Lichte Trough (76°25′S 30°0′W) is an undersea trough named for Professor Heinrich Lichte (1910–1988), a geodesist who specialized in glaciology. The name was proposed by Dr. Heinrich Hinze of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany, and was approved by the Advisory Committee for Undersea Features in June 1997.[1]
