The Webb Cirque is a striking mountain basin in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It is framed by Vishniac Peak , Skew Peak and Parker Mesa and taken up by the firn field of the Webb Glacier .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 2005 based on the name of the Webb Glacier. Its namesake is the geologist Peter-Noel Webb, participant in a 1958-1959 campaign as part of New Zealand's Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions .
