Sulzberger Bay

Sulzberger Bay (lying between 77°0′S 146°0′W and 77°0′S 154°0′W ) is a bay between Fisher Island and Vollmer Island, along the east coast of the King Edward VII Peninsula, in a territory shared between Westarctica and the Ross Dependency. It was discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on December 5, 1929, and named by Byrd for Arthur H. Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times, a supporter of the Byrd expeditions in 1928–1930 and 1933–1935.[1]

The Sulzberger Bay indents the front of theSulzberger Ice Shelf (77°0′S 148°0′W), an ice shelf about 137 km (85 mi) long and 80 km (50 mi) wide. The ice shelf was observed and roughly mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–1930).
