Wheeler Bay
Wheeler Bay (Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).) is a bay at the northwest side of Edward VIII Plateau in Antarctica. It is 5.6 kilometres (3 nmi) wide, indenting the coast 3.7 kilometres (2 nmi) northwest of Magnet Bay
The Bay was originally mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37). They named it Brorvika ("brother bay") and the rocks at its entrance Brodrene ("the brothers"). The area was remapped in 1956-57 by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) which renamed the bay and the rocks for G.T. Wheeler, weather observer at Mawson Station in 1957. The name Brodrene Rocks has been approved for the associated rocks.
