Narrative

W coast of Ronne Ice Shelf from Cape Zumberge (q.v.) to the S entrance point of Hercules Inlet, was delineated in part from USN air photography, 1961-66, in part from US LANDSAT imagery of January-February 1974, and in part from radio echo-sounding flights by BAS from "Siple Station", Marie Byrd Land, in January 1975 (USGS sheets ST 17-20/13* and SU 16-20/2*, 1967; USGS satellite-image map Ellsworth Mountains, 1976; Crabtree and Doake, 1980, map p.32; BAS sheet Misc. 2, 1981); named in association with the cape after Dr J. H. Zumberge (APC, 1986, p.4; NGS map, 1987).
