Bay of Whales : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bay of Whales
The Bay of Whales is a natural ice harbor, or ''iceport'', indenting the front of Ross Ice Shelf just north of Roosevelt Island, Antarctica. It is the southernmost point of open ocean not only of the Ross Sea, but worldwide. The Ross Sea extends much further south—as far as the Gould Coast, some from the South Pole—but most of that area is covered by the Ross Ice Shelf rather than open sea. ==Discovery and naming== Ernest Shackleton named the feature on January 24, 1908, during the Nimrod Expedition, because of the large number of whales seen near this location.
