Sources of Information
- Work cat.: Cragin, J.H. Chemical fractionation of brine in the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, 1983.
- GNIS Antarctica, Nov. 5, 2009(McMurdo Ice Shelf, glacier, 78°00ʹ00ʺS 166°30ʹ00ʺE; that portion of the Ross Ice Shelf bounded by McMurdo Sound and Ross Island on the north and Minna Bluff on the south. Studies show this feature has characteristics quite distinct from the Ross Ice Shelf and merits individual naming. A.J. Heine, who made investigations in 1962-63, suggested the name for the ice shelf bounded by Ross Island, Brown Peninsula, Black Island and White Island. Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) has extended the application of this name to include the contiguous ice shelf southward to Minna Bluff)
