Robertson Bay
Robertson Bay (71°25′S 170°00′E / 71.417°S 170.000°E) is a large, roughly triangular bay that indents the north coast of Victoria Land between Cape Barrow and Cape Adare. Discovered in 1841 by Captain James Clark Ross, Royal Navy, who named it for Dr. John Robertson, surgeon on HMS Terror.
Robertson Bay extends between Cape Barrow in the west and Cape Adare in the east. Protection Cove in the south is the head of the bay. Cape Barrow is on Flat Island, east of Siren Bay and north of Cape Wood. Shipley Glacier divides and enters Robertson Bay to the west and to the south of the island, where it flows into Pressure Bay. Frank Newnes Glacier also flows into Pressure Bay, which is divided by Birthday Point from Berg Bay. Haffner Glacier empties into Berg Bay. The Sphinx Rock and Islands Point separate Berg Bay from Relay Bay.
Reusch Glacier, Crume Glacier, Ommanney Glacier and Nielsen Glacier drain into Relay Bay, the last entering beside Calf Point to the west of Penelope Point and the Scott Keltie Glacier. Southwest of this the Egeberg Glacier enters the bay just north of the Dugdale Glacier and the Murray Glacier, which enters the bay west of Duke of York Island, home of the Crescent Bay Adélie penguin rookery. Southeast of this are Colbeck Bay, Cape Klovstad and Protection Cove, which receives the Newnes Glacier and the Nameless Glacier. Warning Glacier flows into the bay from further north on the Adare Peninsula, which defines the east coast of the bay, extending north to Cape Adare.
71°26′S 169°12′E / 71.433°S 169.200°E. A glacier, 25 nautical miles (46 km; 29 mi) long, in the north-central Admiralty Mountains. The glacier drains the northern slopes of Mount Adam and flows along the east wall of DuBridge Range to Pressure Bay. Some of the glacier bypasses Pressure Bay and reaches the sea west of Flat Island. The seaward end of the glacier was first mapped by the Northern Party, led by Victor Campbell, of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. Named by Campbell for Sir Arthur Shipley, master of Christ's College, Cambridge, England, at the suggestion of Priestley. The entire glacier was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1960-63.
71°33′S 169°10′E / 71.550°S 169.167°E. A peak over 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) in the north part of the Admiralty Mountains, Victoria Land. It rises between Shipley Glacier and Crume Glacier, 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) southwest of Birthday Point. The feature was named by the BrAE, 1910-13, after Charles S. Wright (1887-1975), physicist with the expedition.
71°28′S 169°19′E / 71.467°S 169.317°E. A short glacier discharging into the head of Pressure Bay. First charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898-1900, which named the feature for Frank Newnes, the only son of the expedition sponsor, Sir George Newnes.
71°28′S 169°24′E / 71.467°S 169.400°E. A small glacier discharging into Berg Bay. First charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898-1900, under Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink, who named it for Colonel Haffner, Director of the Government Survey of Norway.
71°29′S 169°29′E / 71.483°S 169.483°E. A very small glacier descending into Relay Bay immediately east of Islands Point. First charted by British Antarctic Expedition, 1898-1900, under C.E. Borchgrevink, who named this feature for Professor Hans Henrik Reusch, then president of the Norwegian Geographical Society.
