Slava Ice Shelf
Slava Ice Shelf (Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).), is an ice shelf along the coast of Antarctica between Mawson Peninsula and Cape Andreyev. The feature was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy (USN) Operation Highjump in 1947. The area was photographed in 1958 by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (SovAE) which applied the name "Zaliv Slava" to the wide open bay that fronts this ice shelf. This name decision is in accord with the recommendation by ANCA that the name would be appropriately applied to the ice shelf. Named after the Soviet whaling flotilla Slava.[1]
