Doggers Bay

	Doggers Bay Doggers Bay () is an ice-filled bay about long and wide on the west side of the Amery Ice Shelf, between Foley Promontory and Landon Promontory. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) air photos taken in 1956, was first visited in November 1962 by an ANARE dog-sledge party led by I. Landon-Smith, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia The Australian Antarctic Names and Medals Committee (AANMC) was established to advise the Government on names for features in the Australian Antarctic Territory and the subantarctic territory of Heard Island and the McDonald Islands.

picture info	Amery Ice Shelf The Amery Ice Shelf () is a broad ice shelf in Antarctica at the head of Prydz Bay between the Lars Christensen Coast and Ingrid Christensen Coast. It is part of Mac. Robertson Land. The name "Cape Amery" was applied to a coastal angle mapped on 11 February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Douglas Mawson. He named it for William Bankes Amery, a civil servant who represented the United Kingdom government in Australia (1925–28). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names interpreted this feature to be a portion of an ice shelf and, in 1947, applied the name Amery to the whole shelf. In 2001 two holes were drilled through the ice shelf by scientists from the Australian Antarctic Division and specially designed seabed sampling and photographic equipment was lowered to the underlying seabed. By studying the fossil composition of sediment samples recovered, scientists have inferred that a major retreat of the Amery Ice Shelf to ...

	Foley Promontory Foley Promontory () is an ice-covered promontory about north of Landon Promontory, across Doggers Bay, on the west side of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) air photos taken in 1956, and was first visited by an ANARE party led by D.R. Carstens in November 1962. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for N.E.

	Landon Promontory Landon Promontory () is a broad, domed ice-covered promontory on the west side of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica, about south of Foley Promontory, across Doggers Bay. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) air photos taken in 1956, and the area was first visited by an ANARE party led by D.R. Carstens in November 1962. The promontory was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after I.

picture info	Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions The Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE ) is the historical name for the Australian Antarctic Program (AAp) administered for Australia by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). History Australia has had a long involvement in south polar regions since as early as Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition in 1911. Further Australian exploration of the Antarctic continent was conducted during the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE), which was conducted over the years 1929–1931. The Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions were established in 1947 with expeditions to Macquarie Island and Heard Island. In 1948 the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) was established to administer the expedition program. ANARE Name The name ANARE fell out of official use in the early 2000s. However current and former Australian Antarctic expeditioners continue to use the term informally as a means of identifica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Antarctic Names Committee Of Australia The Australian Antarctic Names and Medals Committee (AANMC) was established to advise the Government on names for features in the Australian Antarctic Territory and the subantarctic territory of Heard Island and the McDonald Islands. The committee also issues nominations Governor General for the award of the Australian Antarctic Medal. Committee members were appointed by the Minister or Parliamentary Secretary responsible for Antarctic matters. The committee was founded in 1952 as the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia, and changed to the current name in 1982 to reflect the multiple functions that the committee is responsible for. The committee was replaced by the Australian Antarctic Division Place names Committee in 2015. Features named by the committee * Fyfe Hills, named after W.V. Fyfe, Surveyor General of Western Australia * Goldsworthy Ridge, named after R.W. Goldsworthy, survey field assistant * Gowlett Peaks, named after Alan Gowlett, engineer * Haigh Nunatak, ...
