Zelee Subglacial Trench

Zelee Subglacial Trench (coord|68|0|S|144|0|E|) is a subglacial trench on George V Coast, running NNE-SSW and coinciding with the trough cut by Mertz Glacier. The feature was delineated by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79, and named after the corvette "Zelee" (Lt. Charles Jacquinot) of the French expedition, 1837-40 (Capt. Jules Dumont d'Urville).
