Ekström Ice Shelf
The Ekström Ice Shelf is the ice shelf lying between Sorasen Ridge and Halvfarryggen Ridge, on the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Land. It was first mapped by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition, and named for Bertil Ekström, a Swedish mechanical engineer with the NBSAE, who drowned when the weasel he was driving plunged over the edge of Quar Ice Shelf on February 24, 1951.
