The Relief Inlet quadrangle is the second product of a cartographic project involving the geomorphological and glaciological survey of Victoria Land, and conducted in the framework of the Italian National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA). The map covers the southern portion of Terra Nova Bay and the northern margin of the Scott Coast (75° S–76° S, 162° E–166° 30’ E). Three of the major outlet glaciers of Victoria Land flow into Terra Nova Bay (the Priestley, Reeves and David glaciers). The Priestley and Reeves glaciers drain the SE portion of the Talos Dome area and part of the northern Victoria Land névées, and merge to form the Nansen Ice Sheet (the name given by the first explorers, although it is technically an ice shelf). The David Glacier, the largest outlet glacier in Victoria Land, flows from eastern Dome C and southern Talos Dome, and drains the inner part of the plateau; its seaward extension, the Drygalski Ice Tongue, extends into the Ross Sea for almost 100 km.
