Scar Inlet

The Scar Inlet is an area of the Larsen Ice Shelf immediately northwest of Jason Peninsula, named after the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.

The region was discovered in 1902 by Otto Nordenskjöld, leader of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, who gave the name "Scott Bay".

The present name was given in 1963 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research of the International Council of Scientific Unions, in recognition of the role of this organization in furthering scientific research in the Antarctic.

It is the remaining fragment of the much larger Larsen B ice shelf which disintegrated in 2002.
