Narrative

An ice shelf about 55 mi wide, occupying a deep recession of the coastline between Capes Freshfield and Hudson. This ice shelf was called a bay by the AAE, 1911-14, under Mawson, who named it for Joseph Cook, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1914. The generic term has been amended, as the bay is permanently filled by an ice shelf.
