Amundsen Sea
The
Amundsen Sea
, an arm of the
Southern Ocean
off
Marie Byrd Land
in western
Antarctica
, lies between
Cape Flying Fish
(the northwestern tip of
Thurston Island
) to the east and
Cape Dart
on
Siple Island
to the west. Cape Flying Fish marks the boundary between the Amundsen Sea and the
Bellingshausen Sea
. West of Cape Dart there is no named
marginal sea
of the
Southern Ocean
between the Amundsen and
Ross
Seas. The Norwegian expedition of 1928–1929 under Captain Nils Larsen named the body of water for the Norwegian polar explorer
Roald Amundsen
while exploring this area in February 1929.
