Abstract
Soviet expeditions have delimited a new Antarctic marginal sea off Victoria Land on the basis of distinctive bottom relief and ice conditions. The new sea, situated between the D'Urville Sea on the west and the Ross Sea, is distinguished throughout the year by the accumulation of sea ice forming the so‐called Balleny ice field. The new sea has been named the Somov Sea, for the Soviet explorer M. M. Somov.
