Jonathan Shanklin honoured

[Jeremy Shears]

Ron Arbour informs me of this exciting news. Jonathan Shanklin, former BAA Comet Section Director, is having a glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula named after him!

Congratulations Jonathan!

[Ms Janice McClean]

That is wonderful news.  Congratulations to Jonathan.

[Gary Poyner]

Wonderful news.   Many congratulations Jonathan.

Gary

[Robin Leadbeater]

Quite literally (I’ll get my coat)

Congratulations  to JS

[Eric Watkins]

That’s great news.   Well done.  We can but hope for a slowing down, even better a reversal, of climate change heating, so that the glacier may out live us.

Best,

Eric

[Nick James]

That’s great news and very well deserved.

Nick.

[Daryl Dobbs]

Congratulations to a fantastic scientist and very well deserved 

[David Swan]

Congratulations, Jonathan. I think we should use the area and volume of the glacier as the ‘in-house’ BAA standards for the dimensions of minor bodies. Probably not very stable standards, mind… Better stick with Giraffes and the principality that is Wales.
