Goulden Cove is the southern of two coves at the head of Ezcurra Inlet, Admiralty Bay, on King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was probably named by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who surveyed Admiralty Bay in December 1909.
Henryk Glacier is a glacier on Arctowski Peninsula, on the Danco Coast of Antarctica, with a noteworthy cirque at the head; it flows southwest between Wild Spur and Hubl Peak into Errera Channel. The glacier was named in association with the peninsula after Henryk Arctowski, by the Polish Antarctic Expedition, in about 1993.
Twin Pinnacles is a rock 20 m high marked by two summits, lying 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) northeast of Lions Rump at the west side of the entrance to King George Bay in the South Shetland Islands. Charted and named during 1937 by DI personnel on the Discovery II.
Klekowski Crag is a rock crag rising to about 400 metres (1,300 ft) on the south side of Lange Glacier, Admiralty Bay, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition in 1979 after Professor Romuald Klekowski, Director of the Institute of Ecology, Polish Academy of Sciences, which sponsored Arctowski Station on King George Island.
Rakusa Point is a point 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) southeast of Point Thomas, Admiralty Bay, on King George Island, South Shetland Islands. Named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition in 1977 after Stanislaw Rakusa-Suszczewski, who established Poland's Arctowski Station near this point, February 26, 1977.
