Hondius Inlet information


Location of Joerg Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula.

Hondius Inlet is the 5.7 km wide ice-filled inlet indenting for 6.7 km the tip of Joerg Peninsula, Bowman Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula southeast of Three Slice Nunatak. Its head is fed by Getman Ice Piedmont.

The geographic feature is named after the Flemish cartographer Jodocus Hondius (1563–1612), whose map in 1595 depicted the southern continent Terra Australis being separated from Tierra del Fuego and New Guinea.[1]
