The Sulzberger Bay indents the front of the Sulzberger Ice Shelf (77°0′S 148°0′W / 77.000°S 148.000°W / -77.000; -148.000), an ice shelf about 137 km (85 mi) long and 80 km (50 mi) wide bordering the coast of Marie Byrd Land between Edward VII Peninsula and Guest Peninsula. The ice shelf was observed and roughly mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–1930).
Sulzberger Basin (77°0′S 152°30′W / 77.000°S 152.500°W / -77.000; -152.500) is an undersea basin on the central Ross shelf named in association with the Sulzberger Bay.

Famous quotes containing the word bay:
“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
