Lazarev Sea

It would be bordered by two proposals from a 2002 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) draft, a King Haakon VII Sea to the west and a Riiser-Larsen Sea to the east, or between the Prime Meridian of 0° and 14°E.

[1] The Lazarev Sea was named in 1962 by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in memory of Russian admiral Mikhail Lazarev (1788–1851), who discovered the Antarctic mainland with Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen in 1820.

[1] To the south of the Lazarev Sea lies Princess Astrid Coast of Queen Maud Land.

The Lazarev Sea is a continental margin affected by multiple rifting episodes accompanied with transient volcanism.
