    Dotson Ice Shelf is an ice shelf about convert 30 mi 1 wide between Martin Peninsula and Bear Peninsula on the coast of Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica. It was first mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey from air photos obtained by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in January 1947, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant William A. Dotson , US Navy, formerly Officer in Charge of the Ice Reconnaissance Unit of the Naval Oceanographic Office, killed in a plane crash in Alaska in November 1964 while on an ice reconnaissance mission. ref name gnis See also List of glaciers List of Antarctic ice shelves References Reflist refs ref name gnis cite gnis type antarid id 4005 name Dotson Ice Shelf accessdate 2012 01 26 ref usgs gazetteer id 4005 coord 74 24 S 112 22 W display title type glacier scale 2000000 source GNIS Category Ice shelves of Antarctica Category Landforms of Marie Byrd Land MarieByrdLand geo stub ...   more details

The Amery Ice Shelf coord 69 45 S 71 0 E scale 4000000 display inline,title is a broad ice shelf in Antarctica at the head of Prydz Bay between the Lars Christensen Coast and Ingrid Christensen Coast . It is part of Mac. Robertson Land . The name Cape Amery was applied to a coastal angle mapped on February 11, 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition BANZARE under Douglas Mawson . He named it for William B. Amery , who represented the United Kingdom government in Australia 1925 28 . The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names interpreted this feature to be a portion of an ice shelf and, in 1947, applied the name Amery to the whole shelf. In December 2006, it was reported by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that Australian scientists were heading to the Amery Ice Shelf to investigate enormous cracks that had been forming for over a decade at a rate of three to five metres a day. These fractures threaten to break off a 1000 square kilometre piece of the Amery Ice Shelf. Scientist want to discover what is causing the cracks, as there has not been similar activity since the 1960s. However, the head of research believes that it is too early to attribute the cause to Global Warming as there is the possibility of a natural 50 60 year cycle being responsible. ref http www.abc.net.au news newsitems 200612 s1807679.htm Australians to study giant Antarctic ice cracks at ABC News Online Friday, December 8, 2006. 6 29pm ref Lambert Glacier flows from Lambert Graben into the Amery Ice Shelf on the southwest side of Prydz Bay.

The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names US ACAN has extended the application of this name to include the contiguous ice shelf southward to Minna Bluff .

It occupies an area of 33,820  km . It is part of Mawson Sea and separates the Queen Mary Coast to the west from the Knox Coast of Wilkes Land to the east. The existence of this ice shelf was first made known by the United States Exploring Expedition, 1838 1842 USEE under Charles Wilkes who mapped a portion of it from the USS Vincennes 1826 Vincennes in February 1840. It was explored by the Australian Antarctic Expedition under Douglas Mawson 1911 14 who named it for Sir Ernest Shackleton . The extent of the ice shelf was mapped in greater detail in 1955, using aerial photography obtained by US Navy Operation Highjump , 1946 47. Further mapping by the Soviet Expedition of 1956 showed the portion eastward of Scott Glacier East Antarctica Scott Glacier to be a part of this ice shelf.
