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.

Best, a member of the crew of the Discovery during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) of 1929–31.

Mount Chauve is a rocky hill, 33 metres (110 ft) high, at the northwestern extremity of Cape Margerie. It was charted and named by the French Antarctic Expedition in 1950. The name is descriptive of the hill's denuded aspect, evoking the celebrated musical score Night on Bald Mountain, "chauve" being a French word for bald.
Mount Porteus is a mountain just east of Peacock Ridge, in the Tula Mountains in Enderby Land. It was plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956 and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for W.F.

Perry Bay is an open ice-filled bay about 12 nautical miles (22 km) wide, indenting the coast between Freeman Point and a stubby peninsula terminating in Cape Keltie. Delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47). Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant O.H. Perry on the sloop Peacock of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Wilkes.
