Abstract
The author describes the ice in Crown Prince Gustav Channel on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, based mainly on observations made by members of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1945–48. He considers that the ice in the northern half of the Channel is landfast sea ice which may persist for more than one season, and, that in the southern half it is shelf ice of the same origin as the Larsen Shelf Ice. He concludes that this shelf ice in the southern part of the Channel is part of the Larsen Shelf Ice.Keywords
