Weber Inlet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weber Inlet () is a broad ice-filled inlet, which indents the south part of Beethoven Peninsula, southwest of Bennett Dome, forming the northwest arm of Bach Ice Shelf in Alexander Island. It was first mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826), a German composer.
