Bigelow Rock (66°10′S 95°25′E / 66.167°S 95.417°E) is a low, ice-covered rock about 150 feet (50 m) long, with numerous rock exposures close above sea level, lying immediately west of Shackleton Ice Shelf, about 25 nautical miles (50 km) northeast of Junction Corner. It was delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (OpHjp), 1946–47. An astronomical control station was established on the rock by U.S. Navy Operation Windmill (OpWml), 1947–48. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Technical Sergeant , United States Marine Corps, a tractor driver-mechanic with OpHjp and OpWml.

  • Der Bigelow Rock ist eine niedrige und 130 m lange Felsformation mit einigen über den Meeresspiegel hinausragenden Felsvorsprüngen an der Küste des ostantarktischen Königin-Marie-Lands. Sie liegt unmittelbar westlich des Shackleton-Schelfeises und 40 km nordöstlich des Junction Corner. Kartiert wurde sie anhand von Luftaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Operation Highjump (1946–1947). Während der US-amerikanischen Operation Windmill (1947–1948) wurde hier eine astronomische Beobachtungsstation errichtet. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte sie nach George H. Bigelow vom United States Marine Corps, Zugmaschinenführer sowohl bei der Operation Highjump als auch bei der Operation Windmill. (de)
