The Noring Terrace is an icy step in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises 2000 m high over an area of 6 km 2 in the southwest Convoy Range between Mount Gunn and Mount Basurto . The ice masses of the terrain level flow westward into the Cambridge Glacier and eastward into the short Scudding Glacier towards the Battleship Promontory .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 2008 after Randy Noring, who between 1991 and 2007 worked in 16 consecutive campaigns at McMurdo Station and the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and was also station administrator at Marble Point in 1999 .
