Salmon Stream
Coordinates: 77 ° 56 ′ S , 164 ° 30 ′ E
The Salmon Stream is a small and around 10 km long meltwater river on the Scott coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the Salmon Glacier to Salmon Bay .
Participants of the Terra Nova Expedition (1911-1913) under the direction of the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott named it Davis Creek in reference to the designation made by them at the same time for the Davis Glacier , which is now known as the Salmon Glacier. The New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee adapted the name to the renaming of this glacier in 1960.
