Mason Inlet

Mason Inlet (72°57′S 60°25′W / 72.95°S 60.417°W / -72.95; -60.417) is an ice-filled inlet which recedes 15 nautical miles (28 km) southwest between Cape Mackintosh and the coastline south of Cape Herdman, along the east coast of Palmer Land. First seen and photographed from the air in December 1940 by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS). During 1947 the inlet was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for D.P. Mason, their surveyor on the joint British-American sledge journey during the charting of this coast in 1947.
