Muller Ice Shelf

Muller Ice Shelf, also known as Müller Ice Shelf^[1] according to the original German spelling of the family name Müller, (67°15′S 66°52′W / 67.25°S 66.867°W / -67.25; -66.867) was an ice shelf lying southwest of Hooke Point in southwest Lallemand Fjord, Arrowsmith Peninsula, Loubet Coast. The ice shelf nurtured by Bruckner Glacier and Antevs Glacier collapsed recently ^[2].

The name was given by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1981 in memory of Fritz Muller (1926–80), a Swiss glaciologist, who carried out research in Switzerland, Greenland, the Canadian Arctic, and the Himalayas.
