Dibble Iceberg Tongue

Dibble Iceberg Tongue

Dibble Iceberg Tongue (65°30′S 135°0′E / 65.5°S 135°E / -65.5; 135Coordinates: 65°30′S 135°0′E / 65.5°S 135°E / -65.5; 135) is an iceberg tongue at the seaward end of Dibble Glacier Tongue. The names Dibble Glacier and Dibble Glacier Tongue were applied by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1955, concurrent with G.D. Blodgett's delineation of the features from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946-47). The offshore segment of these two related features was photographed by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1956 and 1959, and Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) subsequently recommended that it be named Dibble Iceberg Tongue. US-ACAN has approved the latter name only for the portion lying seaward of Dibble Glacier Tongue.
