The borders of the oceans are the limits of Earth's oceanic waters. The definition and number of oceans can vary depending on the adopted criteria. The principal divisions of the five oceans are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern (Antarctic) Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. Smaller regions of the oceans are called seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and other terms. Geologically, an ocean is an area of oceanic crust covered by water.
Cape Dalton is a point marking the southeast end of a snow-covered island, located 1 nautical mile (2 km) north of Abrupt Point on the western side of Edward VIII Bay. It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37) and, though not specifically named on the map, the point appears to have been included as part of two larger features called "Skutenes" and "Skutenesmulen." Skutenes was subsequently mapped by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) as two snow-covered islands, making this descriptive name and Skutenesmulen, a derivative, inappropriate. ANARE named the point Cape Dalton for R.F.M. Dalton, officer in charge of ANARE work at Macquarie Island, 1953.
Harcourt Island is a small island at the north side of the entrance to Royal Bay, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 after Cape Harcourt, the easternmost point of this island.
Hole Rock is the largest of several rocks lying close north of North Foreland, the northeast cape of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was charted in 1937 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II and so named because a conspicuous hole extends through it.
