COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

extending NW-SE for c.100km between Korff Ice Rise and Henry Ice Rise, Ronne Ice Shelf, was traversed by a US IGY party from "Ellsworth", 1957-58 (Thiel and others, 1958); identified by BAS from US LANDSAT imagery of February 1974, from ground observations, and from radio echo-sounding in February 1981; named after Dr Christopher Samuel McClure Doake (b. 1944), BAS senior glaciologist from 1973, who has contributed to an understanding of the morphology and dynamics of Ronne Ice Shelf (APC, 1986, p.3). Doake Ice Rumples (Swithinbank and others, map, 1988)

An area of disturbed ice in the Ronne Ice Shelf, extending for c. 55 mi in a NW-SE direction between Korff Ice Rise and Henry Ice Rise. First visited and mapped in part by the US-IGY geophysical traverse party from Ellsworth Station 1957-58, led by Edward Thiel. Further delineated from U.S. Landsat imagery taken 1974 and from radio echo sounding by BAS in 1981. Named by the UK-APC after Christopher S.M. Doake, senior BAS glaciologist from 1973, who has contributed to an understanding of the morphology and dynamics of the Ronne Ice Shelf.
