Bakewell Island
Bakewell Island is a small ice-covered island near Princess Astrid Coast and east of Lyddan Island in the south part of the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf. The island was discovered November 5, 1967, in the course of a U.S. Navy Squadron VXE-6 flight over the coast in LC-130 aircraft, and was plotted by the United States Geological Survey from air photos taken at that time.| Tap on a place to explore it |
