The Wagoner Inlet is an ice-covered bay in the north of Thurston Island before Eights Coast of the West Antarctic Ellsworthlands . It lies between the Tinglof and the Starr Peninsula .
Your position was determined from aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy in December 1946 during Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1960 after Charles Wagoner, a sailor aboard the icebreaker USS Glacier during the US Navy's research voyage into the Bellingshausen Sea in February 1960.
