James Ross Island is a large island off the southeast side and near the northeastern extremity of the Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by Prince Gustav Channel. Rising to 1,630 metres (5,350 ft), it is irregularly shaped and extends 64 km in a north–south direction. It was charted in October 1903 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, who named it for Sir James Clark Ross, the leader of a British expedition to this area in 1842 that discovered and roughly charted a number of points along the eastern side of the island. The style, "James" Ross Island is used to avoid confusion with the more widely known Ross Island in McMurdo Sound.
Access Point is a rocky point immediately southeast of Biscoe Point and 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Cape Lancaster on the south side of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. First charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, 1903–05. Surveyed in 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and so named because there is a landing place for boats on the northwest tip of the point which provides access to the inland parts of the island.
Alice Creek is a cove forming the southernmost portion of Port Lockroy, Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and named by him for the wife of Édouard Lockroy, Vice President of the French Chamber of Deputies who assisted Charcot in obtaining government support for the expedition.
Mount Wheat is a prominent mountain forming the highest point in Wall Range, rising immediately north of Thunder Glacier in the center of Wiencke Island, Palmer Archipelago. Probably first observed by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition which circumnavigated Wiencke Island in 1898. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Lieutenant Commander Luther William Wheat, U.S. Navy, helicopter commander with Squadron VXE-6, Operation Deepfreeze, 1975–78; Aviation Projects Manager, Division of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, 1978; member, U.S. Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, 1979-88.
Jougla Point is a point forming the west side of the entrance to Alice Creek in Port Lockroy, lying on the west side of Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was discovered and named by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who considered it to be a peninsula. Because of its small size the term point is considered more appropriate.
Dennison Reef is a reef between the Shull Rocks and the Pauling Islands, lying east of the south end of the Biscoe Islands in Crystal Sound. It was mapped from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–48) and from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1958–59). It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for David M. Dennison, a physicist who took x-ray diffraction pictures which were used to interpret the crystal structure of ice.
Gauthier Point is a point which forms the northern extremity of Doumer Island in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who named it for François Gauthier, builder of the expedition ships Français and Pourquoi-Pas.
Mount Gevers is a rock peak, 1,480 metres (4,860 ft) high, in the Hays Mountains of the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica, standing at the north side of Cappellari Glacier at the point where it enters Amundsen Glacier. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for T.W. Gevers of the University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg), a geologist at McMurdo Station in 1964–65.
Goudier Island is a small island with an appearance of bare, polished rock, lying 0.05 nautical miles (0.1 km) north of Jougla Point in the harbor of Port Lockroy, Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and named after E. Goudier, chief engineer of the expedition ship Français.
Morriss Peak is a peak, 950 metres (3,120 ft) high, at the southwest end of the Wiener Peaks, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. The peak was mapped by the United States Antarctic Service 1939–41, led by Richard E. Byrd, and by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65. The naming was proposed by Admiral Byrd for P.G.B. Morriss, manager of the Hotel Clark in Los Angeles, who provided office space and quarters for the Byrd Antarctic Expeditions of 1928–30 and 1933–35.
San Eladio Point is the northwest point of Bryde Island, Danco Coast, Graham Land. Charted by the Argentine Antarctic Expedition, 1949–50, and named "Punta San Eladio" or "Cabo San Eladio" after a staff officer on the expedition ship Chiriguano. An English form of the name has been approved.
Sleipnir Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (18 km) long, flowing into the west side of Cabinet Inlet between Balder and Spur Points, on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. Vologes Ridge is situated in the central portion of the glacier.
Smith Point is a small point northeast of Besnard Point on the southeast side of the harbor of Port Lockroy, Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Charcot. The name appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming.
Sonia Point is a point lying 6 miles west of Rahir Point on the south side of Flandres Bay, on the northeast coast of Kiev Peninsula, Graham Land. It is 1 mile north of Reade Peak. First charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1903–05, and named for Madame Sonia Bunau-Varilla.
Thunder Glacier is a through glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, which extends in an east-west direction across Wiencke Island between Sierra DuFief and the Wall Range, in the Palmer Archipelago. Probably known since the discovery of Wiencke Island by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition in 1898. Charted in 1944 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and so named by them because a survey party was nearly overwhelmed there by an avalanche.
Relay Hills is a group of low, ice-covered hills, mainly conical in shape, between Mount Edgell and Kinnear Mountains in western Antarctic Peninsula. First roughly surveyed from the ground by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1936-37. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), November 1947. Resurveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), November 1958. The name, applied by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), arose because both the BGLE and the FIDS sledging parties had to relay their loads through this area to the head of Prospect Glacier.
Mount Reece is a sharp, ice-free peak in the Antarctic Peninsula, 1,085 m, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Pitt Point and 3 km southeast of Skakavitsa Peak. It is the second highest point of Kondofrey Heights forming the south wall of Victory Glacier on the south side of Trinity Peninsula. Charted in 1945 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named for Alan Reece, leader of the FIDS Deception Island base in 1945, and meteorologist and geologist at the Hope Bay base in 1946. Reece, a member of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE), 1949–52, was killed in an airplane accident in the Canadian Arctic in 1960.
Lécuyer Point is a point which forms the south side of the entrance to the harbor of Port Lockroy, Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was discovered and named by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot.
Lefèvre-Utile Point is a point 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Curie Point along the north side of Doumer Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was discovered and named by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot.
Lientur Channel is a channel between Lemaire Island and Bryde Island connecting Paradise Harbor with Gerlache Strait, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first roughly charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99. The channel was named by the fourth Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1949–50) after the Lientur, one of the ships used during this expedition.
