Nansen Ice Sheet
Nansen Ice Sheet, or Nansen Ice Shelf, is a by ice shelf. It is nourished by the Priestley and Reeves Glaciers and abutting the north side of the Drygalski Ice Tongue, along the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. This feature was explored by the South Magnetic Polar Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-09 and by the Northern Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. Frank Debenham, geologist with the latter expedition, applied the name Nansen Sheet as the feature is adjacent to Mount Nansen, the dominating summit in the area.ihay
