Scudding Glacier () is an abrupt glacier, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, descending into the end of Alatna Valley from the south side of Mount Gunn in the Convoy Range, Victoria Land. This high elevation glacier is adjacent to the neve of Cambridge Glacier and snow laden katabatic winds make their first descent into Alatna Valley over the glacier. Even on days of relatively light winds, snow clouds derived from the high neve may be seen swirling and scudding down this glacier. So named by the 1989-90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Program (NZARP) field party to the area.

The process would continue with another soaking and scraping with a blunt scudding knife.

Captain Watt described the gale as equally severe as those in the West Indies.

The membrane can also show the pattern of the animal's vein network called the "veining" of the sheet. Any remaining hair is removed ("scudding") and the skin is dried by attaching it to a frame (a "herse").

Scud (born 20 March 1967), is the professional name of Guangzhou, China-born Hong Kong film producer, screenwriter and film director, Danny Cheng Wan- Cheung (). He says that he chose the name "Scud" to match his Chinese name, which translates in English as "Scudding Clouds". His films explore somewhat taboo themes within Hong Kong cinema, including same-sex relationships and drug-taking. His film-making style eschews cynicism or gritty realism, and embraces an acceptance of the life choices made by his characters, rather than a search for "solutions".

The history of the City of Campbellton is not complete without mentioning the infamous Phantom Ship known as "Fireship of Baie des Chaleurs". Stories of its appearance include seeing a burning sailing vessel, sometimes a vessel with all its sails set scudding along the water or sometimes a ball of fire or burning vessel on the water's surface or fading out of sight. This is not frequently seen. Some believe it is a ghost ship from the Battle of the Restigouche whereas others believe it is merely caused by heat waves, reflections or hallucinations.

Two Marines, Gunnery Sergeant Sam Lanford and PFC John Sebern were aware that they could not stay near the WHITE beaches as it would jeopardize the entire operation if caught.

Noring Terrace () is a relatively level ice-covered terrace rising to with an area of about 4 square miles between Mount Gunn and Mount Basurto in the southwest Convoy Range of Victoria Land. Ice from the terrace drains westward into Cambridge Glacier and also eastward in the short Scudding Glacier toward Battleship Promontory. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2007 after Randy (Crunch) Noring who served 25 summer seasons and 3 winters in Antarctica between 1991 and 2019 at the South Pole and McMurdo Stations, working in operations, heavy equipment and fuels, and since 1999 as the Camp Manager at Marble Point in Victoria Land.

Richard Morrison, writing in The Times, opined that although the piece was slow to develop "By the end...I felt I was watching a very weird masterpiece".
