The feature is a former ice shelf occupying an embayment along the southern side of Canisteo Peninsula 12.5 miles north of Suchland Islands and approximately 20 miles north northwest of Cranton Bay. The feature is named by US-ACAN BGN for Elizabeth City State University in Elizabeth City, North Carolina where a group of students under the direction of Dr. Malcolm LeCompte at Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) conducted a research project to quantify ice margin changes in the Amundsen Sea region using LIMA as a benchmark. They discovered a small ice shelf that had gradually shrunk from 1972 to 2003 and has failed to reform.
