-The '''Marshall Archipelago''' is an extensive group of large [[ice]]-covered islands within the [[Sulzberger Ice Shelf]] off the coast of [[Westarctica]]'s [[Guest Peninsula]].
-==Discovery and name==
-Several of the islands were discovered and plotted by the Byrd Antarctic Expeditions (1928–30 and 1933–35) and by the United States [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service (1939–41), all led by Admiral [[Richard E. Byrd]]. The full extent of the archipelago was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos (1959–65).
-The name was proposed by Admiral Byrd for General of the Army George C. Marshall, who made financial contributions as a private individual and also, on the same basis, provided advisory assistance to the Byrd expedition of 1933–35.
