Wheeler Bay

Wheeler Bay (66°18′S 56°6′E / 66.300°S 56.100°E) is a bay 5.6 kilometres (3 nmi) wide, indenting the coast 3.7 kilometres (2 nmi) northwest of Magnet Bay. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. They named this bay Brorvika (brother bay) and the rocks at its entrance Brodrene (the brothers). The area was remapped in 1956-57 by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) which renamed the bay and the rocks for G.T. Wheeler, weather observer at Mawson Station in 1957. The name Wheeler has been accepted for this bay; the name Brodrene Rocks has been approved for the associated rocks.
