Description (see definition): Ice-filled inlet 16 mi long, in an E-W direction, and 12 to 15 mi wide, lying between Cape Fanning and Cape Herdman along the E coast of Palmer Land. Discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by members of the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) and named for Major (later Col.) Andre L. Violante, USA, who designed the prefabricated buildings used by the expedition. Particularly because of a false floor, they proved to be the must satisfactory quarters used by American Antarctic expeditions.
