Names that other countries have for this feature:
A bay about 25 mi wide which forms the head of Prydz Bay. The feature is bounded on the west by Amery Ice Shelf, on the east by Publications Ice Shelf, and on the south by the mainland. Discovered in February 1935 by Capt. Klarius Mikkelsen in the Norwegian whaling ship Thorshavn sent out by Lars Christensen. They gave the name Sandefjordbukta after the town of Sandefjord, center of the Norwegian whaling industry. The term "ice bay" is applied to this feature because of its formation in ice, and to eliminate duplication of the name Sandefjord Bay.
