Sulzberger Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sulzberger Bay () is a bay between Fisher Island and Vollmer Island, along the coast of Marie Byrd Land. Discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on December 5, 1929, and named by Byrd for Arthur H. Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times, a supporter of the Byrd expeditions in 1928-30 and 1933-35.
The Sulzberger Bay indents the front of the Sulzberger Ice Shelf (), an ice shelf about 85 miles (137 km) long and 50 miles (80 km) wide bordering the coast of Marie Byrd Land between Edward VII Peninsula and Guest Peninsula. The ice shelf was observed and roughly mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928-30).
Sulzberger Basin () is an undersea basin on the central Ross shelf named in association with the Sulzberger Bay.
