The Arctic Archipelago, also known as the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, is a group of islands north of the Canadian mainland.
Loks Land Island is part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in Nunavut, Canada. It is located off the eastern tip of Baffin Island's Blunt Peninsula, close to the mouth of Frobisher Bay. It has an area of 419 km2 (162 sq mi) and a coastline of 206 km. The local Inuktitut name for the island is Takuligjuaq.
The Acadian Peninsula is situated in the northeastern corner of New Brunswick, Canada, encompassing portions of Gloucester and Northumberland Counties. It derives its name from the large Acadian population located there. Two major islands off the northeast tip of the peninsula, Lamèque Island and Miscou Island, are culturally considered part of the Acadian Peninsula.
Grinnell Peninsula is a peninsula in northwestern Devon Island in Nunavut, Canada. It was discovered by the First Grinnell Expedition and named "Grinnell Land", after Henry Grinnell, the financier of Arctic explorations.
Irvine Inlet is a body of water in Nunavut, Canada. Located in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, it lies in western Cumberland Sound, forming a wedge into Baffin Island's Hall Peninsula. There are many irregularly shaped islands at the mouth of the inlet.
Wiswell Inlet is a body of water in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region. It lies in eastern Frobisher Bay, forming a wedge into Baffin Island's Blunt Peninsula. There are several islands at the mouth of the inlet.
Crane Glacier, is a narrow glacier which flows 30 miles (50 km) in an east-northeasterly direction along the northwest side of Aristotle Mountains to enter Spillane Fjord south of Devetaki Peak, on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Sir Hubert Wilkins photographed this feature from the air in 1928 and gave it the name "Crane Channel", after C.K. Crane of Los Angeles, reporting that it appeared to be a channel cutting in an east-west direction across the peninsula. The name was altered to "Crane Inlet" following explorations along the west coast of the peninsula in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition, which proved that no through channel from the east coast existed as indicated by Wilkins. Comparison of Wilkins' photograph of this feature with those taken in 1947 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey shows that Wilkins' "Crane Channel" is this glacier, although it lies about 75 miles (120 km) northeast of the position originally reported by Wilkins.
Mount Alibi is a conspicuous mountain in eastern Voden Heights on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land, situated 3 nautical miles (6 km) east-southeast of Adit Nunatak on the north side of Leppard Glacier, in Graham Land. The mountain was discovered and photographed from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins on December 20, 1928 and was named "Mount Napier Birks". The feature was not reidentified by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in its 1947 survey of the area, and the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) subsequently gave the name Mount Birks to a mountain 40 nautical miles (70 km) northeastward. Following a FIDS survey in 1955, the mountain named by Wilkins was definitely identified as the feature now described. Because of past confusion as to its identity, the UK-APC has renamed it Mount Alibi; "Alibi" meaning "proof of presence elsewhere."
Stubb Glacier is a glacier 11 nautical miles (20 km) long in Aristotle Mountains on the east coast of Graham Land, flowing east into Scar Inlet between Mount Queequeg and Tashtego Point. The lower reaches of this glacier were surveyed and photographed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947, and the upper reaches were surveyed in 1955. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1956 after the second mate on the Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby Dick.
Potter Peninsula is a low ice-free peninsula between Potter Cove and Stranger Point in south-west King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It is protected as ASPA 132, largely because of the richness and diversity of its flora and fauna.
Fourcade Glacier is a glacier at the head of Potter Cove, Maxwell Bay, on King George Island in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition, 1980, after Nestor H. Fourcade of the Instituto Antartico Argentino, who made detailed geological investigations of Potter Cove and Fildes Peninsula in several seasons, 1957–58 to 1960–61.
Georges Point is the northern tip of Rongé Island, lying west of Arctowski Peninsula off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered and named by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, probably after second-in-command Georges Lecointe.
Melville Glacier is a glacier, 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, between Mapple Glacier and Pequod Glacier on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It flows eastwards between Stevrek Ridge and Parlichev Ridge in the Aristotle Mountains, to enter Domlyan Bay in the Weddell Sea. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947 and 1955, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Herman Melville, the author of Moby-Dick. Several other features in the area are named after characters in the story.
Rachel Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Graham Land, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, flowing east between Krupen Ridge and Padesh Ridge to enter Exasperation Inlet southwest of Mihaylovski Crag. The name, applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), is taken from Herman Melville's Moby Dick, the Rachel being a ship from Nantucket which met the Pequod and brought news of a lost whaleboat.
Lever Glacier is a glacier, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) wide at its mouth and at least 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, flowing west-northwest, then west-southwest into the head of the northern arm of Beascochea Bay north of Chorul Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The glacier was first sighted and roughly surveyed in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition. It was resurveyed in 1935 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and named in 1954 for William Lever, 2nd Viscount Leverhulme, who contributed toward the cost of the BGLE.
The Shantar Sea is a small coastal sea in the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk.
The Eastern Dallmann Bay Antarctic Specially Protected Area is a marine Antarctic Specially Protected Area lying at the eastern end of Dallmann Bay, adjacent to the north-western and northern coasts of Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. With an area of about 676 km2 it covers shallow marine waters that are suitable for bottom trawling for demersal fish and other benthic organisms for scientific research. The area contains important habitat for juvenile fish, especially Black Rockcod and Blackfin Icefish. The fish collected from the site are used in studies of their physiological and biochemical adaptations to low temperatures.
