Claim: The ice shelf of the Sulzberger Bay (a bay between Fisher Island and Vollmer Island, along the coast of King Edward VII Land) released icebergs within a day of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, thus some scientists have linked the ice calving to the tsunami reaching the ice shelf, some 13,600 kilometers (8,500 mi) away from the earthquake epicenter.
