Adventure Subglacial Trench

Adventure Subglacial Trench (coord|74|0|S|132|0|E|) is a subglacial trench of interior Wilkes Land, running north-south and joined by Vincennes Subglacial Basin to Aurora Subglacial Basin to the west. The feature was delineated by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79, and named after HMS "Adventure" (Cdr. Tobias Furneaux, RN), one of the two ships of the British expedition, 1772-75 (Capt. James Cook, RN).
