Bowles Creek
Coordinates: 77 ° 37 ′ S , 163 ° 3 ′ E
The Bowles Creek is a 400 m long, and glacial branching melt water flow in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Taylor Valley it flows east of Maria Creek into the southwest end of Fryxellsee , which it reaches west of Green Creek .
It was named at the suggestion of the American hydrologist Diane Marie McKnight, head of the team of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which examined the river system of Lake Fryxell between 1987 and 1994. It is named after the hydrologist Elizabeth C. Bowles, who carried out studies on the organic geochemistry of the tributaries of the Fryxellsee in the USGS campaign, which ran from 1987 to 1988 .
