Marie Byrd Land

Japanese: マリー・バード・ランド(英語表記)Marie Byrd Land
Marie Byrd Land
A part of West Antarctica centered at 80°S and 120°W. It borders the Pacific Ocean to the north, the Ross Ice Shelf and Ross Sea to the west, and a line connecting the southernmost part of the Ross Ice Shelf and Eights Coast to the east. It was explored by American RE Bird in 1929 and named after his wife. Apart from a mountain range on the Pacific coast, the area is an ice sheet area at an altitude of 1,000 to 1,500 m, with most of the basement below sea level. An American team established Byrd Base at the above site on January 1, 1957, for observations during the International Geophysical Year.
