Ross Sea
The Ross Sea is a deep bay of the Southern Ocean in Antarctica between Victoria Land and Marie Byrd Land.
==Description==
The Ross Sea was discovered by James Ross in 1841. In the west of the Ross Sea is Ross Island with the Mt. Erebus volcano, in the east Roosevelt Island. The southern part is covered by the Ross Ice Shelf. Roald Amundsen started his South Pole expedition in 1911 from the Bay of Whales, which was located at the shelf. In the west of the Ross sea, McMurdo Sound is a port which is usually free of ice during the summer. The southernmost part of the Ross Sea is Gould Coast, which is approximately two hundred miles from the Geographic South Pole.
All land masses in the Ross Sea are claimed by New Zealand to fall under the jurisdiction of the Ross Dependency, but few non-Commonwealth nations recognise this claim.
A 10-metre (32.8 feet) long colossal squid weighing 495 kilograms (1,091 lb) was captured in the Ross Sea on February 22, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World's largest squid landed in NZ - Beehive (Govt of NZ) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NZ fishermen land colossal squid - BBC News )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colossal squid's headache for science - BBC News )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Size matters on 'squid row' (+photos, video) - The New Zealand Herald )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colossal squid's big eye revealed - BBC News )〕
