Ekstrom Ice Shelf (71°0′S 8°0′W) is the ice shelf lying between Sorasen Ridge and Halvfarryggen Ridge, on the coast of Queen Maud Land. It was first mapped by NBSAE, 1949-52, and named for Bertil Ekstrom, a Swedish mechanical engineer with NBSAE, who drowned when the weasel (track-driven vehicle) he was driving plunged over the edge of Quar Ice Shelf on February 24, 1951.
