Horseshoe Harbor (67°36′S 62°52′E / 67.600°S 62.867°E / -67.600; 62.867) is a harbor in Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land, formed by the horseshoe-shaped rock projections of West Arm and East Arm. Mawson Station is at the head of this harbor. Roughly mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. Rephotographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47. First visited by an ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) party under Phillip Law, who selected this site for Mawson Station, established on February 13, 1954.
