Wilkes Basin
The Wilkes Basin is a large subglacial basin situated generally southward of George V Coast and westward of Prince Albert Mountains in East Antarctica. The feature is approximately 1400 km long and 400 km wide. The Wilkes Basin is considered to be the largest marine-based drainage basins in East Antarctica, and may be in a state of marine ice-sheet instability, caused by warm water intrusion into the shelf cavities.
== History ==
It was discovered by the United States Victoria Land Traverse of 1959–1960.〔Weihaupt, J., 1961,Geophysical Studies in Victoria Land, Antarctica,Report No. 1, Geophysical and Polar Research Center, University of Wisconsin Madison, 123 pages〕 It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (1961) for the proximity of the western portion of this feature to Wilkes Land, and for the explorations along George V Coast by the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, USN.
