The sound is occupied by the western part of the Abbot Ice Shelf, and is therefore not navigable by ships.
The feature was discovered by members of the USAS in flights from the ship Bear in February 1940, and was further delineated from air photos taken by US Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946. The sound was first noted to parallel the entire south coast of Thurston Island, thereby establishing insularity, by the USN Bellingshausen Sea Expedition in February 1960. Named after the sloop of war Peacock in which Captain William L. Hudson, in company with the tender Flying Fish under Lt. William M. Walker, both of the USEE, 1838–42, sailed along the edge of the pack ice to the north of Thurston Island for several days in March 1839.

Named by the US-ACAN for the sloop of war USS Vincennes, flagship of the USEE under Wilkes, from which a series of coastal landfalls along Wilkes Land were discovered and plotted during January–February 1840. Wilkes' chart suggests a possible coastal recession corresponding closely with the longitudinal limits for Vincennes Bay, although pack ice conditions prevented close reconnaissance by the USEE of the coast in this immediate area.
Vincennes Bay is roughly triangular, 120 km north-south and 150 km east-west at its northern extremity, and thus covers an area of about 9,000 km².

title: Prince Gustav Channel hierarchical section title: Prince Gustav Channel caption reference description: Location of Prince Gustav Channel in Antarctica caption attribution description: Deutsch: Physische Positionskarte Antarktis, Mittabstandstreue Azimutalprojektion English: Physical Location map Antarctica, Azimuthal equidistant projection Longitude of central meridian: 0° Latitude of projection origin: -90° Tangent latitude at the map boundaries: -60°; geographic limits of the map: -135°,-47.57359° to 45°,-47.57359° caption alt text description: Prince Gustav Channel is located in Antarctica content: The Prince Gustav Channel was named in 1903 after Crown Prince Gustav of Sweden by Otto Nordenskiöld of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition.
The channel is bounded on the west by the Antarctic Peninsula and on the east by James Ross Island. It is about 130 kilometres long and ranges from 6 to 24 kilometres wide.
On 27 February 1995, the British Antarctic Survey reported that an ice shelf formerly blocking the channel had disintegrated. This ice shelf had spanned approximately 700 square kilometres prior to its disintegration.
In the area previously covered by the shelf, the channel's water depth is between 600 to 800 metres. Between February and March 2000, scientists collected sediment cores 5 to 6 m in length from the ocean floor. Carbon dating of organic material found in the sediment layers suggested that for a period between 2,000 and 5,000 years ago, much of the channel was seasonally open water. While icebergs were able to navigate the channel, ice rafted debris was deposited within the sediment.

Somewhat arcuate, the escarpment is nearly 100 nautical miles long, rises 3,550 m above sea level, and 1,000 to 1,500 m above the adjacent terrain.
The north-central part of the escarpment was observed from a vantage point on Supporting Party Mountain and was partially mapped in December 1929 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Laurence Gould. The escarpment was more closely observed in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn, and was named by Byrd for Thomas J. Watson, American business executive, a patron of this expedition. The escarpment and its related features was mapped in detail by United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64.
The east extremity of the escarpment is defined by Shapley Ridge, a prominent ridge overlooking Reedy Glacier and it extending east from Cleveland Mesa. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Alan H.
