West Ice Shelf

The West Ice Shelf (6640S 08500E) is a prominent ice shelf extending about 288 km in an E-W direction along the Antarctic coast between Barrier Bay and Posadowsky Bay. Discovered and named by the German Antarctic Expedition, 1901-03, under Dr. Erich von Drygalski. The toponym describes the direction in which the German expedition first viewed the ice shelf. Their limited westward view became a prolonged one; on February 22 1902, the ship feature. It remained there imprisoned by the pack until February 8, 1903.
