Charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934–37, under Rymill, and so named by him because the snow caps resemble barchans (also barkhans), migrating, crescent-shaped sand dunes found in several very dry regions of the world. {{usgs-gazetteer}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Barchans}}{{WilhelmArchipelago-geo-stub}} 1 : Islands of the Wilhelm Archipelago |
