Miller Spur (75°07′S 137°29′W) is an ice-covered spur that descends northeast from Mount Giles. The spur terminates in a small rock bluff about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) west of lower Hull Glacier.
Discovery and name
The spur was observed and photographed on 18 December 1940, from aircraft of the U.S. Antarctic Service led by Admiral Richard Byrd. Miller Spur was named by US-ACAN in honor of Linwood T. Miller, a sailmaker and member of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933-35). Miller was responsible for producing windproof shirts, parkas, tents and other canvas materials for the expedition.
