Vincennes Bay is a large V-shaped bay, 105 km (65 mi) wide at its entrance between Cape Nutt and Cape Folger in Antarctica, marked by several large, steep glaciers near its head, lying along Knox and Budd Coasts. It was photographed from the air by US Navy Operation Highjump in 1946–47. The bay was entered in January 1948 by US Navy Operation Windmill icebreakers Burton Island and stations in the Windmill Islands in the NE portion of the bay. Named by the US-ACAN for the sloop of war USS Vincennes, flagship of the USEE under Wilkes, from which a series of coastal landfalls along Wilkes Land were discovered and plotted during January–February 1840. Wilkes' chart suggests a possible coastal recession corresponding closely with the longitudinal limits for Vincennes Bay, although pack ice cond

  • Die Vincennes Bay ist eine große, v-förmige Bucht an der westlichen Budd-Küste des ostantarktischen Wilkesland. Ihre Einfahrt zwischen Kap Nutt und Kap Folger ist 104 km breit. Einige große und steile Gletscher, darunter der Adams-Gletscher und der Bond-Gletscher, münden in diese Bucht. Erste Luftaufnahmen entstanden bei der vom US-amerikanischen Polarforscher Richard Evelyn Byrd geleiteten Operation Highjump (1946–1947). Erstmals befahren wurde sie im Januar 1948 vom Eisbrecher bei der Operation Windmill (1947–1948). Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte sie nach der Sloop , Flaggschiff der United States Exploring Expedition (1838–1842) unter der Leitung des US-amerikanischen Polarforschers Charles Wilkes, von der aus zwischen Januar und Februar 1840 Küstenabschnitte des Wilkeslands entdeckt und kartiert wurden. Aus Wilkes Kartenmaterial geht hervor, dass sich die Expedition möglicherweise auch in der Nähe dieser Bucht befand, wenngleich damals Packeis eine Annäherung an die Küste verhinderte. (de)
  • Bahía Vincennes es una gran bahía en forma de V, de 105 kilómetros de ancho en su entrada entre y en la Antártida, marcada por varios glaciares de gran tamaño que se extienden a lo largo de las costas de Knox y Budd. Fue fotografiada desde el aire por la Operación Highjump de la Armada de los Estados Unidos entre 1946 y 1947.​ La bahía de Vincennes tiene forma triangular, 120 kilómetros de norte a sur y 150 kilómetros de este a oeste en su extremo norte, y por lo tanto cubre un área de aproximadamente 9.000 kilómetros cuadrados. Al este se encuentra la capa de hielo de Law Dome y la costa norte-sur de las islas Windmill, escenario de las bases antárticas Wilkes (Estados Unidos, 1957-59) y Casey (Australia, 1959-actualidad). La forma el límite occidental de la bahía de Vincennes, donde la capa de hielo de la Antártida oriental termina en acantilados de hielo continuo. La costa sur de la bahía de Vincennes está marcada por los glaciares Vanderford y Adams. El drena el hemisferio occidental del domo Law y junto con el glaciar Adams, drena la capa de hielo principal del este de la Antártida a través de la cuenca subglacial Aurora, una característica importante de la Antártida oriental. El banco de Petersen se encuentra en el lado este de la bahía y otro banco poco profundo se encuentra en el lado occidental; sin embargo, gran parte de la bahía de Vincennes se encuentra a más de 1.000 metros bajo el nivel del mar.​ La erosión glacial ha producido un canal glacial en la capa interior de aproximadamente 2.100 metros de profundidad, y la mayor parte del área interna de la plataforma está formada por expuestas como se puede ver en los perfiles sísmicos. Los procesos de sedimentación marina glacial en la bahía se caracterizan por sedimentos siliciclásticos que predominan sobre los sedimentos biogénicos, incluso en los canales interiores profundos de la plataforma.​ La circulación del agua en la bahía implica un flujo hacia tierra en profundidad, lo que hace que el agua oceánica más cálida entre en contacto con la base del glaciar Vanderford. Esta agua se mezcla con agua de deshielo fresca y sedimentos glaciares suspendidos para formar un penacho flotante que se eleva y fluye hacia el mar bajo la plataforma de hielo.​ (es)

  • Vincennes Bay is a large V-shaped bay, 105 km (65 mi) wide at its entrance between Cape Nutt and Cape Folger in Antarctica, marked by several large, steep glaciers near its head, lying along Knox and Budd Coasts. It was photographed from the air by US Navy Operation Highjump in 1946–47. The bay was entered in January 1948 by US Navy Operation Windmill icebreakers Burton Island and stations in the Windmill Islands in the NE portion of the bay. Named by the US-ACAN for the sloop of war USS Vincennes, flagship of the USEE under Wilkes, from which a series of coastal landfalls along Wilkes Land were discovered and plotted during January–February 1840. Wilkes' chart suggests a possible coastal recession corresponding closely with the longitudinal limits for Vincennes Bay, although pack ice conditions prevented close reconnaissance by the USEE of the coast in this immediate area. Vincennes Bay is roughly triangular, 120 km north–south and 150 km east–west at its northern extremity, and thus covers an area of about 9,000 km2. To the east lies the icecap of Law Dome and the north–south oriented Windmill Islands coast of Precambrian basement, which is the setting for Antarctic stations Wilkes (USA, 1957–59) and Casey (Australia, 1959–present day). The Knox Coast forms the western boundary of Vincennes Bay, where the East Antarctic ice sheet terminates in continuous ice cliffs. The southern coastline of Vincennes Bay is marked by the Vanderford and Adams Glaciers. The Vanderford Glacier drains the western hemisphere of Law Dome and together with the Adams Glacier, drains the main East Antarctic ice sheet via the Aurora subglacial basin, a major feature of East Antarctica. Petersen Bank (<200 m) is located on the eastern side of the bay and another shallow bank is located on the western side; however, much of Vincennes Bay lies deeper than 1000 m below sea level. Glacial erosion has produced an over-deepened glacial trough on the inner shelf, up to 2,100 m in depth locally, and most of the inner shelf area is characterised by exposed basement rocks as seen on GI-gun seismic profiles. Glacial marine sedimentation processes in the bay are characterised by siliciclastic sediments dominating over biogenic sediments even in deep, inner shelf troughs. Water circulation in the Bay involves landward flow at depth, bringing warmer ocean water into contact with the base of the Vanderford Glacier. This water becomes mixed with fresh meltwater and suspended glacial sediments to form a buoyant plume that rises and flows in a seaward direction under the ice shelf. Brooks Point is a rock headland on its western shore. (en)
