Exasperation Inlet
(Oscar II Coast)
British Antarctic Territory
Location: 65° 19' 26" S 61° 49' 21" W
between Foyn Point and Cape Disappointment (q.v.), Oscar II Coast, was roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition in October 1902; called Sandefiordsbukten, as the E entrance of Wilkins' supposed Crane Channel (Crane Glacier, q.v.); resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay' in 1947 and 1949, and so named, in association with the cape, because the disturbed nature of the ice shelf in the area caused difficulties for sledge parties. The inlet was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay' in 1961.
