'''Peacock Sound''' is an ice-filled sound (ocean channel between two bodies of land), 216 kilometers (134 mi) long and 64 km (40 mi) wide, separating [[Thurston Island]] from the [[Eights Coast]] of [[Ellsworth Land]] in [[Westarctica]].

The sound is occupied by the western part of the [[Abbot Ice Shelf]], and is therefore not navigable by ships.

==Discovery==
The feature was discovered by members of the U.S. Antarctic Service during flights from the ship ''Bear'' in February 1940, and was further delineated from air photos taken by US Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946. The sound was first noted to parallel the entire south coast of Thurston Island, thereby establishing insularity, by the USN [[Bellingshausen Sea]] Expedition in February 1960.
