From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abernethy Flats () is a gravel plain cut by braided streams at the head of Brandy Bay, James Ross Island. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1983 after Thomas Abernethy, gunner on HMS Erebus (Capt. James Clark Ross) during exploration of these waters in 1842-43.
