Nantucket Inlet


Nantucket Inlet is an ice-filled inlet 6 nautical miles wide, which recedes 13 nautical miles in a northwest direction between the Smith Peninsula and Bowman Peninsula, along the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. Discovered by members of the United States Antarctic Service in a flight from East Base on December 30, 1940, and named for Nantucket Island, MA, home of early New England whalers of the first half of the 19th century.
