August 1, 2011 -- Dr. Pascal Lee, Chairman of the Mars Institute and director of the HMP Arctic Research Camp, today named a hill inside the Haughton Impact Crater in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouts by Juliette Gordon Lowe. This hill, now and forever to be known as Girl Scouts of America Centennial Hill, is located near the NASA research site Drill Hill on Inuit (native Canadian) land.
Photos, along with geographic, geological and historical data about Girl Scouts of America Centennial Hill, will be coming in future blogs.
The name will be included on the updated map of Devon Island published before the 2012 research season. As part of the HMP geological study of Devon Island, updates, including names of features, are published by HMP. These names are recognized in publications and by the international scientific community.
