The Jelbart Ice Shelf is an ice shelf about wide, fronting on the coast of
Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, northward of
Giaever Ridge. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the
Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and named for
John E. Jelbart, an Australian observer with the expedition who drowned near
Maudheim Station on February 24, 1951.
