Names that other countries have for this feature:
An ice shelf occupying a deep recession of the coastline of George V Land between Cape Freshfield and Cape Hudson. The coastal recession was named Cook Bay by Sir Douglas Mawson after Joseph Cook, Prime Minister of Australia in 1914. It was decided that since the bay was permanently filled by ice shelf, the name Cook Ice Shelf was more appropriate than Cook Bay.
Joseph Cook, Prime Minister of Australia in 1914
