Gourlay Peninsula is an ice-free peninsula, which is 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) wide at its base and widens to 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km), forming the southeastern extremity of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. The seaward end of the peninsula divides into three arms, Pantomime Point, Pageant Point, and Gourlay Point. It was surveyed in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Gourlay Point.
Gourlay Point is the southernmost of three finger-like points which form the southeast end of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II, who gave the name for Ronald George Gourlay, third engineer of the ship.
Perutz Glacier is a glacier, 10 nautical miles (18 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, which flows west-northwest from Hemimont Plateau into Bourgeois Fjord, close east of Thomson Head, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The mouth of the glacier was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. The entire glacier was surveyed in 1946-47 and 1948-49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and named by them for Max F. Perutz of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, who has made important studies on the mechanism of glacier flow.
Friederichsen Glacier is a glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, which flows in an easterly direction into Cabinet Inlet, close north of Mount Hulth, on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947. It was named by the FIDS for Ludwig Friederichsen, a German cartographer who in 1895 published a chart based upon all existing explorations of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands.
Livonia Rock is a rock lying 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) south of Cape Melville, the eastern extremity of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for the sealing vessel Livonia from London, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1821–22.
Megaw Island is the easternmost of the Bennett Islands in Hanusse Bay, Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–48) and the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57). The island was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for British physicist Helen Megaw, who in 1934 made accurate measurements of the cell dimensions of ice.
Herrington Hill is a hill on the east side of Lavoisier Island, in the Biscoe Islands of Antarctica, about 5 nautical miles (9 km) southward of Benedict Point. It was mapped from air photos taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Lovic P. Herrington, an American physiologist who has specialized in the reactions of the human body to cold environments.
Mazza Point is a snow-covered headland lying between Brahms Inlet and Mendelssohn Inlet, marking the northwest end of Derocher Peninsula, a minor peninsula that extends in a northwest point from Beethoven Peninsula, situated in the southwest portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica.

It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Commander Joseph D. Mazza, U.S. Navy, Commanding Officer of Squadron VXE-6, May 1986 to May 1987.
Spur Point is a point at the east end of Bigla Ridge, a black, rocky spur which extends southeast between Sleipnir Glacier and Beaglehole Glacier to the west side of Cabinet Inlet, forming the southeast extremity of Heros Peninsula on the east coast of Graham Land. This descriptive name was given by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) following their survey in 1947. The feature was photographed from the air during 1947 by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne.
Holdfast Point is both the northeast side of the entrance to Lallemand Fjord and the northwest side of the entrance to Chepra Cove on Pernik Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctica, situated about 12 nautical miles (22 km) southwest of Cape Rey. It was mapped from air photos taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57), and was so named because when the pack ice breaks out to the north of Lallemand Fjord, it usually continues to hold fast for some time longer south of this point.
Hopkins Glacier is a glacier situated south of Erskine Glacier and flowing westwards into the head of Tlachene Cove in Darbel Bay on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1955–57, and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1958 for Sir Frederick Hopkins, founder of the School of Biochemistry at Cambridge University, who made pioneer investigations on synthetic diets and vitamins which contributed greatly to the development of present ideas on concentrated rations.
