Harry Lewin Lee Pennell (1882–1916) was a Royal Navy Officer, Lieutenant and Commander of the Terra Nova Expedition. He was responsible for the first sighting of Oates Coast on 22 February 1911, and named it after Captain Lawrence Oates. Pennell was appointed commander of HMS Queen Mary in the summer of 1914, and died 31 May 1916 in the Battle of Jutland, when the ship was sunk by the German ships SMS Seydlitz and SMS Derfflinger.[1]
The Pennell Coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica, is named for him.
