Hull Bay
Hull Bay (74°55′S 137°40′W / 74.917°S 137.667°W) is an ice-filled bay, about 25 nautical miles (46 km; 29 mi) wide, fed by Hull Glacier, which descends into it between Lynch Point and Cape Burks, on the coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.
Hull Bay was discovered by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41. The bay derives its name from Hull Glacier, which was named for Cordell Hull, the United States Secretary of State.
Hull Bay lies on the Southern Ocean coast of Marie Byrd Land, and extends from Frostman Glacier to the west and Cape Burks to the east, at the western end of McDonald Heights. Hull Glacier flows in a northwest direction into the bay between Lynch Point and Mount Grey in the Erickson Bluffs. In the northeast of the bay, Garfield Glacier enters the bay between Cox Point, the Erickson Bluffs and Dee Nunatak to the southwest, and the Rhodes Icefall and Peden Cliffs to the northeast. Perkins Glacier enters the bay to the north of Peden Cliffs.
75°08′S 137°57′W / 75.133°S 137.950°W. A broad, low gradient glacier discharging into the south side of Hull Bay just west of Kontor Cliffs. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Thomas O. Frostman, meteorologist at Plateau Station, 1968.
75°04′S 137°49′W / 75.067°S 137.817°W. A small ice-covered island lying in Hull Bay, 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) west of Lynch Point. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy aerial photographs, 1962-67. Named by US-ACAN after Orville L. Bandy (1917-73), professor of geology at the University of Southern California, and a participant since 1961 in several USARP projects. In 1964 and 1966, respectively, he was chief scientist on cruises 7 and 17 of RV Anton Bruun, and took part in several cruises of USNS ltanin. The island was named in Jan 1975 by a board decision.
75°05′S 137°44′W / 75.083°S 137.733°W. A rocky point at the seaward end of the peninsula between Frostman Glacier and Hull Glacier. Photographed from US AS (1939-41) aircraft on December 18, 1940. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN for Ens. William R. Lynch II, United States Navy Reserve, Damage Control Officer aboard USS Glacier in exploring these coastal waters, 1961 -62.
74°45′S 136°50′W / 74.750°S 136.833°W. A prominent rock cape, the northwest seaward extension of McDonald Heights, marking the east side of the entrance of Hull Bay. The cape was sighted and mapped from the USS Glacier, January 31, 1962. It was named for Lieutenant Commander Ernest Burks, United States Navy, senior helicopter pilot on the Glacier and first person to set foot on the cape.
74°57′S 136°35′W / 74.950°S 136.583°W. A glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) long, flowing between Peden Cliffs and Cox Point to the east side of Hull Bay. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN for Donald E. Garfield, who participated in deep core drilling activities at Byrd Station, 1967-68.
