Mawson Sea

Mawson Sea is a proposed sea name along the Queen Mary Land coast of East Antarctica east of the Shackleton Ice Shelf.

West of it, on the western side of Shackleton Ice Shelf, would be the Davis Sea.

The name was proposed as part of the 2002 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) draft.

Calving of Denman Glacier gives rise to the periodically appearing Pobeda Ice Island.

It would be named in honor of Australian Antarctic explorer Douglas Mawson.
