Small ice-covered island near Princess Martha Coast and E of Lyddan Island in the S part of Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf. The island was discovered Nov. 5, 1967, in the course of a USN Squadron VXE-6 flight over the coast in LC-130 aircraft, and was plotted by USGS from air photos taken at that time. Named by US-ACAN after William Lincoln Bakewell, the lone American on Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated 1914-16 expedition in the Endurance to this area. Bakewell reportedly represented himself as Canadian to gain acceptance for the voyage to Antarctica. |
