From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wordie Ice Shelf () is a confluent glacier projecting as an ice shelf into the SE part of Marguerite Bay between Cape Berteaux and Mount Edgell, along the western coast of Antarctic Peninsula.
Discovered by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37, who named this feature for James M. Wordie, Honorary Secretary (later President) of the Royal Geographical Society, member of the Discovery Committee, and chairman of the Scott Polar Research Institute. He also had been geologist and Chief of the Scientific Staff of the British expedition, 1914-16, under Ernest Shackleton.
