Albatross Island is an island 2 miles (3 km) southeast of Cape Buller, lying in the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. Charted in 1912–13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy, who gave this name because he observed albatrosses there. The eastern headland of the island is called The Pricker, a name which first appeared on a 1931 British Admiralty chart.
Bomford Peak is, at 1,140 metres (3,740 ft) the highest peak located centrally on the peninsula between Wilson Harbour and Cheapman Bay on the south side of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey (SGS) in the period 1951–57 and named for Captain Anthony G. Bomford, Royal Engineers, senior surveyor of the SGS, 1955–56.
Crean Glacier is a glacier 4 miles (6.4 km) long, flowing northwest from Wilckens Peaks to the head of Antarctic Bay on the north coast of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57 and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Irishman Tom Crean, Second Officer of the Endurance during the British expedition under Ernest Shackleton, 1914–16. Crean accompanied Shackleton and Frank Worsley in the James Caird from Elephant Island to King Haakon Bay, South Georgia, and made the overland crossing with them to Stromness; this glacier lies on the route.
Invisible Island is a small, tussock-covered island lying close southeast of Crescent Island and Mollyhawk Island in the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. It was charted in 1912–13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, an American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy, and was probably named by Discovery Investigations personnel who surveyed the Bay of Isles in 1929–30.
Ernesto Pass is a mountain pass between Morsa Bay and Right Whale Bay in the northwest part of South Georgia. The name "Don Ernesto Glacier", for the catcher Don Ernesto owned by the Compañía Argentina de Pesca, was used for a glacier in the area on a British Admiralty chart in 1931. The South Georgia Survey, 1955–56, reported that the glacier is now vestigial and no longer reaches the sea, but that the pass requires a name. The form Ernesto Pass was recommended by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1957.
Barracouta Rock is a submerged rock lying 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) south of the entrance to Jordan Cove, Bird Island, off the west end of South Georgia. It was first charted by personnel on HMS Owen in 1961, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for one of Owen's survey motor boats.
Bird Sound is a hazardous but navigable sound, 1 nautical mile (2 km) long and 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) wide, separating Bird Island from the west end of South Georgia. The names "La Roche Strait" and "Bird Sound" were used interchangeably for this feature on charts for many years. Bird Sound, which takes its name from nearby Bird Island, is approved on the basis of local usage.
Blue Whale Harbour is a small, sheltered anchorage entered 1 nautical mile (2 km) west-southwest of Cape Constance, along the north coast of South Georgia Island. It was charted in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel. It is named for the blue whale, a commercially important species which was once widely distributed in polar and subpolar waters; numbers are now very small.
The Bryde Rocks are a small group of rocks 1 nautical mile (2 km) west-southwest of the south end of Main Island, off the west end of South Georgia. Positioned by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, the group was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Thorleif Bryde, a gunner of the South Georgia Whaling Co, Leith Harbour, for several years beginning in 1952.
Johannesen Point is the southwestern point of Main Island in the Willis Islands off the west end of South Georgia. This feature was named "All Johannesens Point", presumably by Discovery Investigations personnel who charted South Georgia in the period 1926–30. Following a survey of the island in 1951–52, the South Georgia Survey reported that this cumbersome name is seldom used locally. On this basis, the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee recommended the present shortened form of the name.
The Fulmar Crags are crags surmounting East Cape, the northeastern extremity of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands. The name arose from the Antarctic fulmars which breed on these crags and was given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following a 1956–58 survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey.
Greene Inlet is an inlet immediately northwest of Cape Paryadin at the west end of South Georgia. The name "Deep Inlet" was probably given by Lieutenant Commander J.M. Chaplin, Royal Navy, of the Discovery, during his survey of the Undine Harbour area in 1926 but it is not used locally. The South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, reported that the feature requires a name, but that Deep Inlet is not sufficiently distinctive, being descriptive of so many features at South Georgia. Greene Inlet is named for Daniel Greene of New Haven, CT, who in 1790 commanded one of the first two American sealing vessels to visit South Georgia.
Evermann Cove is a cove 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) long, lying just southwest of Jordan Cove along the south side of Bird Island, South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Biological Expedition, 1958–59, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Barton W. Evermann, an American zoologist on the staff of the Bureau of Fisheries, 1891–1914, and a specialist in administrative and legal problems relating to the fur seal.
Fantome Rock is a dangerous rock in the middle of Bird Sound, South Georgia, lying 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) south of Gony Point, Bird Island. It was charted by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery in the period 1926–30 and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963 for HMS Owen's motor cutter, used in a survey of this area in February–March 1961, and lost in heavy seas near this rock.
Farewell Point is a point which forms the northeast extremity of Bird Island, off the west end of South Georgia. The name appears to have been applied by Discovery Investigations personnel who charted South Georgia in the period 1926–30.
Morris Point is a point 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) east of Pearson Point on the south side of Bird Island, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Lieutenant Roger O. Morris, hydrographic officer in HMS Owen during survey of Stewart Strait and approaches in 1960–61.
The McPherson Crags are a group of prominent crags rising to 460 metres (1,500 ft) in central Annenkov Island, South Georgia. they were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Ms. Ray McPherson (1916–75), a clerical officer with the British Antarctic Survey, 1967–75.
Main Bay is a cove which is the western arm of Jordan Cove along the south coast of Bird Island, South Georgia. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee has found that this descriptive name has been in local use at least since 1957.
Hornaday Rock is a rock lying in Bird Sound, 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) west-southwest of Cape Alexandra at the west end of South Georgia. The feature appears on charts dating back to the 1930s. It was recharted by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for William T. Hornaday, an American zoologist who was Director of the New York Zoological Park, 1896–1926. From 1907 he was a leader in the fight to introduce protective legislation for fur seals; fur seals breed on nearby Bird Island.
Ram Head is the name of a headland lying between Rosita Harbor and Camp Bay along the north coast of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean and of a headland in Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts, United States.
