Narrative

An ice shelf with an area of about 1600 square km off the Ingrid Christensen Coast. The feature was charted and photographed in February, 1969, by members of the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party during a survey between the Amery Ice Shelf and the Vestfold Hills. The name Publications was first applied to a group of glacier tongues by Dr. J.H. Roscoe, photogrammetrist with USN Op Highjump (1946-47) and USN Op Windmill (1947-48), who named the glaciers after polar publications.
