Lehrke Inlet

[3] Lehrke Inlet was discovered by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) who explored this coast on land and from the air in 1940.

It was named for Lester Lehrke, boatswain's mate of USS Bear, one of the expedition ships, and sailmaker of the East Base.

It drains the slopes at the southeast side of the Welch Mountains and flows east then northeast to discharge into the head of Lehrke Inlet just north of Parmelee Massif.

First charted by a joint party consisting of members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) and Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947.

A glacier 9 nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) long, which flows east-southeast from Mount Thompson to the northwest side of Lehrke Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land.

It was determined to be a cape of Palmer Land in 1947 by a joint sledge party consisting of members of the RARE and the FIDS.

A mountain, 945 metres (3,100 ft) high, standing 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) southwest of Cape Sharbonneau at the east side of the head of Lehrke Inlet.

In 1947 it was determined to be a mountain distinct from Cape Sharbonneau to the northeast by a joint sledge party consisting of members of the RARE and the FIDS.
