Lützow-Holm Bay - Lützow-Holm Bay

Japanese: リュツォー・ホルム湾 - リュツォーホルムわん(英語表記)Lützow‐Holm Bay
Lützow-Holm Bay - Lützow-Holm Bay
A triangular bay centered around 37.5°E longitude on the Antarctic continent, running south to 70°S longitude. Showa Station is on the east coast of the bay (Sōya Coast), and the west coast passes through the Prince Harald Coast, with the Riiser-Larsen Peninsula stretching north. The Shirase Glacier flows into the back of the bay. There is perennial sea ice in the bay, making navigation to Showa Station very difficult. A Norwegian seaplane sighted the bay on February 21, 1931, and named it after Finn Lützow-Holm, a pilot from the previous year's expedition.

南極大陸の東経37.5゜付近を中心に南緯70゜まで南入する三角形の湾。昭和基地はこの湾の東岸(宗谷海岸)にあり,西岸はプリンス・ハラルド海岸Prince Harald Coastを経てリーセル・ラルセン半島Riiser‐Larsen Peninsulaが北へ延びる。湾の奥に白瀬氷河が注ぐ。湾内には多年性海氷があり,昭和基地への航行は困難が多い。1931年2月21日ノルウェー隊の水上機がこの湾を望見し,前年度隊の飛行士フィン・リュツォー・ホルムFinn Lützow‐Holmの名にちなんでつけた。
