A table listing 54 major features of the ocean floor in the Arctic, gives the final suggested name, approx location, and the status of the name with the US Board on Geographic Names and the Intl. Hydrographic Bureau. Recommendations are based on decisions made at a meeting called by the US Navy Electronics Laboratory, San Diego, Calif, Jan 1966. The criteria for decisions were: consistency with Undersea terms and definitions (US Board on Geographic Names, 1964) and Limits of oceans and seas (Intl Hydrographic Bureau 1953), common usage, priority of discovery or naming, association with established geographic features, and minimizing ambiguity.
