Mawson Corridor

Mawson Corridor (67°0′S 63°0′E / 67°S 63°E / -67; 63) is a sea passage between grounded icebergs on the approach to Mawson Station at Holme Bay. It is about 22 nautical miles (41 km) long and 4 to 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, opening out at the southern end to give the feature a funnel shape. The northern end at 6645S, 6320E, is sharply defined and coincides with the edge of the continental shelf; from there it bears 202. Discovered by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1954, and used regularly by ANARE relief ships in their approach to Mawson Station.
