Narrative

An iceberg tongue extending northwards for about 110 km from the disturbed continental ice just east of Davis Bay. The iceberg tongue extends seaward to the edge of the continental shelf. Photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). Photographed by Phillip Law, who determined the nature and extent of this feature. Highjump photographs were interpreted by US cartographers as showing a glacier and a prominent glacier tongue, which were named by USACAN after Jonas Dibble, ship's carpenter on the sloop Peacock of the US Exploring Expedition (1838-42).
