The Roscoe Promontory is a massive and icy promontory on the Foyn coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises between the Aagaard and Mitterling glaciers on the north bank of Mill Inlet .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountains in 1987 after the US geographer John Hobbie Roscoe (1919-2007), who participated in the evaluations of the aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946-1947) and Operation Windmill (1947-1948) ) and was the director of the United States Antarctic Program .
