An iceberg tongue extending north-westerly from Wilkes Coast between Cape Mose and Cape Carr. Plotted from ANARE air photographs taken in 1956, 1962 and 1963. Named after Gardner D.

Blodgett Iceberg Tongue (USA) 66° 05' 00.0" S 130° 00' 00.0" E Tongue
Name ID: 122639 Place ID: 1472

A large iceberg tongue that extends seaward from the vicinity of Cape Morse and Cape Carr on the east side of Porpoise Bay. Named by US-ACAN for Gardner D. Blodgett, Office of Geography, Department of Interior, who, in 1955, prepared a sketch map of the coastal features of Antarctica between 84E and 144E from USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) aerial photographs. Since the iceberg tongue was partially delineated for the first time on the 1955 sketch map by Blodgett, use of his name for it is considered appropriate.
