The Scully Terrace is a massive, flattened and supervised three-sided terrace in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Maud Mountains it borders on the eastern flank of the upper section of the Beardmore Glacier on the northwestern part of the Supporters Range between Ranfurly Point and Mount Kinsey .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1986 after the US diplomat Richard Tucker Scully (* 1940), head of the Office for Oceans and Polar Affairs at the State Department of the United States .
