Müller Ice Shelf
Coordinates: 67 ° 15 ′ S , 66 ° 52 ′ W
The Müller Ice Shelf is an Antarctic ice shelf off the Loubet coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located southwest of Hooke Point in the southwest of Lallemand Fjord on the Arrowsmith Peninsula . It is fed by the Brückner Glacier and the Antevs Glacier . The values determined by the British Antarctic Survey between 1950 and 2008 show a massive decrease in the ice mass of the Müller Ice Shelf and other ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the ice shelf in 1981 after the Swiss glaciologist Fritz Müller (1926–1980).
