What British ship did Dr. James A. Mcllroy voyage on that was crushed by ice causing her to sink 1n 1916?
McIlroy Peak McIlroy Peak ( ) is a peak rising to 745 m west of Husvik Harbour and 0.8 nmi south of Mount Barren, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1990 after Dr. James A. McIlroy, surgeon on the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914–16, in the "Endurance", and on the Shackleton–Rowett Expedition, 1921–22, in the "Quest".
MacKenzie Bay MacKenzie Bay is a relatively small embayment of the western extremity of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica, about 20 nmi northeast of Foley Promontory. On February 10, 1931, the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) sighted a much larger embayment here and made an airplane flight to sketch its limits. They named it "MacKenzie Sea" after Captain K.N. MacKenzie, the master of the expedition's ship "Discovery" in 1930–31. Breakout of a large part of Amery Ice Shelf has drastically reduced the size of this feature; in 1968 the bay was 15 nmi wide. Several Norwegian whaling ships sighted the original embayment nearly simultaneously with BANZARE; the whale-catcher "Seksern" (Captain Brunvoll) reached this area on January 13, 1931, and the "Torlyn" (Captain Klarius Mikkelsen) on February 13, 1931.
