'''Edward VIII Ice Shelf''' is an [[ice shelf]] occupying the head of [[Edward VIII Bay]] in [[Antarctica]]. The northern part of this feature was called '''Innviksletta''' (the inner bay plain) by Norwegian cartographers, who mapped it from aerial photos taken by the [[Lars Christensen Expedition]] in 1936–37. The area was first visited in 1954 by an ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) sledge party. The entire ice shelf was then mapped and named in association with Edward VIII Bay.<ref>{{gnis|type=antarid|4345}}</ref>
