Gardner Inlet is a large, ice-filled inlet at the southwest side of Bowman Peninsula, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, under Finn Ronne, who named it for Irvine Clifton Gardner, a physicist at the National Bureau of Standards, and member of the American Antarctic Association, Inc., the organization set up to make plans and preparations for the expedition. His work in the field of optics as applied to aerial photography has been an important contribution to this technique in polar exploration.
Leppard Glacier is a large valley glacier draining east between the Aristotle Mountains and Voden Heights, and flowing into Scar Inlet north of Ishmael Peak, on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The glacier was first seen from the air and photographed in part by Hubert Wilkins on December 20, 1928, and was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955. It is now clear that, on the photographic evidence of his outward flight, Wilkins gave the name "Crane Channel" to this glacier, and that on his return flight he photographed what is now accepted as Crane Glacier, perhaps thinking that it was the same feature. Since Crane Glacier has been retained for the northern of these glaciers photographed by Wilkins, the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee has named this feature for Norman A.G. Leppard, assistant surveyor with the FIDS, who surveyed this area in 1955.

Survey Isthmus is a narrow isthmus about 39 m high separating Elsehul and Undine Harbor near the west end of South Georgia. The name appears to first have been used on a 1931 British Admiralty chart.
The Mueller River is a river of the West Coast Region of New Zealand's South Island. It flows generally north from its sources in the Southern Alps, reaching the Turnbull River 14 kilometres from the latter's mouth. The entire length of the Mueller River is within Mount Aspiring National Park.
Beaumont Glacier is a broad glacier flowing in a northeast direction to the southwest part of Hilton Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land. The United States Antarctic Service discovered and photographed it from the air in 1940. It was resighted in 1947 by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition under Finn Ronne, who named it for the city of Beaumont, Texas, in recognition of the public support given to his expedition by this city and by the Tejas Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, at Beaumont.
Birdie Rocks is a group of rocks lying south of Undine Harbour between Begg Point and Saluta Rocks, off the west end of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart.
Breitfuss Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, which flows southeast from Avery Plateau into Mill Inlet to the west of Cape Chavanne, on the east coast of Graham Land. 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 Leonid Breitfuss, a German polar explorer, historian, and author of many polar bibliographies.
Cumpston Glacier is a small glacier on the east coast of Graham Land, draining between Breitfuss Glacier and Quartermain Glacier into the head of Mill Inlet. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for J.S. Cumpston, an Australian historian of the Antarctic.
Murphy Inlet is an ice-filled inlet about 18 nautical miles (33 km) long, with two parallel branches at the head, lying between Noville and Edwards Peninsulas on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation HIGHJUMP in December 1946. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Charles J. V. Murphy, assistant to Richard E. Byrd after the Byrd Antarctic Expedition of 1928–30, and member of the wintering party of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition of 1933–35.
Fanning Ridge is a prominent rock ridge, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, paralleling the south coast of South Georgia between Aspasia Point and the west side of Newark Bay. The ridge was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, following its mapping by the South Georgia Survey in 1951–52, for Captain Edmund Fanning of Stonington, CT, who with the Aspasia took 57,000 fur seal skins at South Georgia in 1800–01, and published the earliest account of sealing there.
Frida Hole is a small bay lying 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) southeast of Coal Harbour, along the south coast and near the west end of South Georgia. It was probably named by early whalers or sealers who used the bay as an anchorage.
Green Glacier is a glacier on the east side of Graham Land, Antarctica, 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, flowing from the plateau northeast between Dugerjav Peak and Rugate Ridge, and then east into Vaughan Inlet next north of Pirne Peak and south of the terminus of Hektoria Glacier.
The Marshall Archipelago is an extensive group of large ice-covered islands within the Sulzberger Ice Shelf off Antarctica. Several of the islands were discovered and plotted by the Byrd Antarctic Expeditions and by the United States Antarctic Service (1939–41), all led by Admiral Richard E. Byrd. The full extent of the archipelago was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos (1959–65). The name was proposed by Admiral Byrd for General of the Army George C. Marshall, who made financial contributions as a private individual and also, on the same basis, provided advisory assistance to the Byrd expedition of 1933–35.
Matthews Point is a point forming the west side of the entrance to Undine Harbour, along the south coast and near the west end of South Georgia. It was charted between 1926 and 1930 by Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel and named for British zoologist L. Harrison Matthews, a member of the staff of the DI from 1924 to 1935, who worked at South Georgia from 1924 to 1927.
Marck Glacier is a glacier flowing into the southwestern extremity of Cadwalader Inlet on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Aviation Machinist's Mate George H. Marck, an aircrewman in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas in the summer of 1946–47.
Coal Harbour is a small bay 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) east of Undine Harbor along the south coast and near the west end of South Georgia. The name Coaling Harbour, given in about 1912, suggests a possible early use of the bay by sealers and whalers. The name was shortened to 'Coal Harbour' by DI personnel who charted the area during the period 1926–30.
