Wrigley Gulf
Wrigley Gulf is an embayment about 115 miles wide along the coastline of Antarctica, lying seaward of the Getz Ice Shelf. Nearly a right angle in plan, its limits are described by Grant Island, Dean Island, and Siple Island, which are partially or wholly embedded in the ice shelf.
Wrigley Gulf was discovered in December 1940 by the US Antarctic Service (USAS), and named for Philip Wrigley, a Chicago manufacturer who helped support the expedition.
