Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Crane Glacier (65°20 S 062°15 W), is a narrow glacier which flows 30 miles in an east-northeasterly direction through a deep trough into Exasperation Inlet, on the east coast of Antarctic Peninsula. Sir Hubert Wilkins photographed this feature from the air in 1928 and gave it the name Crane Channel, after C.K. Crane of Los Angeles, reporting that it appeared to be a channel cutting in an east-west direction across the peninsula. The name was altered to Crane Inlet following explorations along the west coast of the peninsula in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), which proved that no through channel from the east coast existed as indicated by Wilkins. Comparison of Wilkins' photograph of this feature with those taken in 1947 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) shows that Wilkins' "Crane Channel" is this glacier, although it lies about 75 miles northeast of the position originally reported by Wilkins.
