Shirase Glacier

Shirase Glacier

Shirase Glacier (coord|70|5|S|38|45|E|type:glacier_region:AQ|display=inline,title) is a large glacier entering Havsbotn, the bay that forms the head of Lutzow-Holm Bay. The area occupied by this feature was first mapped as a bay and named Instefjorden (the innermost fjord) by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. Surveys by JARE, 1957-62, revealed the large glacier in this position which they named after Lt. Nobu Shirase, leader of the Japanese Antarctic Expedition of 1911-12.
