From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adventure Subglacial Trench () is a subglacial trench of interior Wilkes Land, running north-south and joined by Vincennes Subglacial Basin to Aurora Subglacial Basin to the west. The feature was delineated by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79, and named after HMS Adventure (Cdr. Tobias Furneaux, RN), one of the two ships of the British expedition, 1772-75 (Capt. James Cook, RN).
