Moscow University Ice Shelf ( 67°0′S, 121°0′E) is a narrow ice shelf, about 120 miles (193 km) long, which fringes Sabrina Coast between Totten Glacier and Paulding Bay. Dalton Iceberg Tongue extends north from the east part of the shelf. The feature was partly delineated from aerial photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump, 1946-47, and further photographed and mapped by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) and the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1958. It was named by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition after Moscow University.
