Koether Inlet

Koether Inlet is an ice-filled inlet about 18 nautical miles (33 km) long, indenting the north coast of Thurston Island, Antarctica, between Edwards Peninsula and Evans Peninsula.[1] It was first delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 in January 1960. The inlet was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Ensign Bernard Koether, a navigator on USS Glacier (AGB-4) in February 1960 who assisted in the charting of the Thurston Island coastline and in the accurate location of soundings.[1]
