The Andrews Peaks are a line of rock peaks 3 nautical miles (6 km) long near the head of Arthur Glacier, situated between Mount Warner and Mount Crow in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land. They were mapped by the United States Antarctic Service (1939–41) and by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos (1959–65), and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Stephen T. Andrews, a United States Antarctic Research Program ionospheric physicist, scientific leader at Byrd Station in 1969.
Argosy Glacier is a glacier about 15 nautical miles (30 km) long, flowing east through the Miller Range to enter Marsh Glacier north of Kreiling Mesa. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62).
Arthur Glacier is a valley glacier in Antarctica. It is about 25 nautical miles (50 km) long, and flows west to Sulzberger Ice Shelf between the Swanson Mountains on the north and Mount Rea and Mount Cooper on the south, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land. It was discovered by members of West Base of the United States Antarctic Service, in aerial flights and from ground surveys in November–December 1940. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Rear Admiral Arthur C. Davis, a leader in aviation in the U.S. Navy.
Ball Peninsula is a broad ice-covered peninsula on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It extends into Murphy Inlet between Noville Peninsula and Edwards Peninsula. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Lieutenant (jg) James L. Ball, PBM Mariner pilot in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of this peninsula and adjacent coastal areas, 1946–47. Ball commanded the January 11, 1947 search plane which, after 12 days of uncertainty, found the burned wreck and survivors of the Mariner crash on Noville Peninsula.
Cook Bay is an irregular bay, 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km) wide at its entrance between Cape Crewe and Black Head, narrowing into two western arms, Lighthouse Bay and Prince Olav Harbour, along the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted by Discovery Investigations personnel during the period 1926–30, and named by them for Captain James Cook, who explored South Georgia and landed in this general vicinity in 1775.
Crewe Rock is a rock, 3 metres (10 ft) high, which lies 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) east of Cape Crewe, off the north coast of South Georgia. It is named for nearby Cape Crewe.
Cape Crewe is a cape which forms the north side of the entrance to Cook Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. Cape Crewe is an established name, dating back to about 1912.
Krank Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, flowing east to enter Helm Glacier just south of Mount Macbain in the Queen Elizabeth Range of Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Joseph P. Krank, Weather Central meteorologist at Little America V Station in the winter of 1957.
Pequod Glacier is a glacier over 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, draining eastwards between Parlichev Ridge to the north, and Taridin Ridge and Krupen Ridge to the south, and flowing into Exasperation Inlet on the east coast of Graham Land. It lies parallel and just south of Melville Glacier. The lower part of the glacier was surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947 and the upper reaches were surveyed in 1955. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the whaling ship Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
Mount Fagan is a mountain rising to 930 metres (3,050 ft) 1.4 nautical miles (2.6 km) west-southwest of Coffin Top and 2.75 nautical miles (5.1 km) west of Moltke Harbour, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 for Captain P.F. Fagan, Royal Engineers, surveyor on the British Combined Services Expedition of 1964–65, and the first person to climb the mountain.
The Franko Escarpment is a mostly snow-covered escarpment that runs north–south for 4 nautical miles (7 km) and forms the northeast edge of Lexington Table in the Forrestal Range of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1979 for Stephen J. Franko, a Grants and Contracts Officer with the National Science Foundation from 1967, with responsibility for all contracts in support of the United States Antarctic Research Program.
Mount Goorhigian is, at 1,115 metres (3,660 ft), the highest mountain of the Demas Range in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Martin Goorhigian, a United States Antarctic Research Program meteorologist at Byrd Station, 1961.
Hodge Escarpment is an escarpment to the northeast of Henderson Bluff on the northwest side of Lexington Table, in the Forrestal Range of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Steven M. Hodge, a United States Geological Survey geophysicist, who worked in the Dufek Massif and the Forrestal Range, 1978–79.
The Huie Cliffs are steep rock cliffs rising above May Valley and forming the northwest edge of Saratoga Table, Forrestal Range, in the Pensacola Mountains of Antarctica. They were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Carl Huie, a technician in Antarctica, 1976–77, and a geologist with the United States Geological Survey in the Pensacola Mountains, 1978–79.
Mount Rosenthal is a prominent mountain, 1,840 m, at the north end of Liberty Hills, in the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Commander Ronald Rosenthal, U.S. Navy, navigator on LC-47 aircraft, who perished in a crash on the Ross Ice Shelf, February 2, 1966.
Lighthouse Bay is a small bay between Cape Crewe and Point Abrahamsen, forming the northern arm of Cook Bay along the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1929, and was probably so named at that time because a lighthouse was located on nearby Sheep Point.
