incorrect name + double up[edit]

Hello - I thought this feature is called "Erebus Glacier Tongue". see http://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/gaz/display_name.cfm?gaz_id=113249

There is a separate, less informative page under this Ice Tongue title. Ice Tongue was used for some early naming. If anything I think this one was called Ross Ice Tongue.

It seems to me the present material should be moved to Erebus Glacier Tongue and this page be given a simple re-direction?
