Location

Nansen ice sheet is an ice shelf, about 50 km long and 18 km wide, nourished by the Priestley and Reeves Glaciers and abutting the north side of Drygalski Ice Tongue, along the coast of Victoria Land. This feature was explored by British Antarctic expeditions between 1907-13. The name "Nansen Sheet" was applied as the feature is adjacent to Mount Nansen, the dominating summit in the area.
