Shagnasty Island is a small, rocky ice-free island lying 0.3 miles (0.5 km) west of Lenton Point in the north part of Clowes Bay, close off the south coast of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. Roughly charted in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and surveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name, applied by FIDS, arose from the unpleasant state of the island due to its occupation by a large colony of blue-eyed shags.
Laws Glacier is a confluent glacier system which flows into Marshall Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was surveyed in 1948–49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Richard M. Laws of the FIDS, leader and biologist at Signy Research Station in 1948 and 1949, and at South Georgia in 1951.
Baldred Rock is a rock in Fitchie Bay at Laurie Island in the South Orkney Islands. It lies close off the south side of Ferrier Peninsula, 0.75 nautical miles (1.4 km) east-southeast of Graptolite Island. This rock was mapped by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition under William Speirs Bruce, 1902–04, and was later named "Bass Rock" owing to its likeness to the Bass Rock in Scotland. The name Bass Rock has also appeared on charts as an alternative name for an island in the Joinville Island group. To avoid confusion of these names, in 1954 the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee recommended an entirely new name for the rock at Fitchie Bay. Baldred Rock is named after Saint Baldred, the first hermit known to have lived on the Scottish Bass Rock.
Conroy Point is a headland midway along the northwest side of Moe Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after James W.H. Conroy, ornithologist on Signy Island, 1967–68.
Vortex Island is an island 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) long and 245 m high, lying in the northeast part of Prince Gustav Channel about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) west-southwest of Corry Island, close south of Trinity Peninsula. Islands in this area were first seen by a party under J. Gunnar Andersson of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04. Vortex Island was first charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in August 1945. The FIDS survey party was forced to lie idle there by a whirlwind snowstorm, thus suggesting the name.
Cummings Cove is a cove between Jebsen Point and Porteous Point on the west side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was roughly surveyed by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1933, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for E.T. Cummings of the FIDS, a radio operator at Cape Geddes in 1946 and at Deception Island in 1947.
Jane Peak is a conspicuous nunatak, 210 metres (700 ft) high, standing 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) west of the northern part of Borge Bay on Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was roughly surveyed in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named in 1954 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the brig Jane, James Weddell commanding, which visited the South Orkney Islands in 1822–23.
Kukri Hills is a prominent east-west trending range, about 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) high, forming the divide between Ferrar Glacier on the south and Taylor Glacier and Taylor Valley on the north, in Victoria Land, Antarctica.
Fur Seal Cove is a cove between Lenton Point and Gourlay Peninsula on the south side of Signy Island, South Orkney Islands. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because a large number of fur seals frequent the cove and adjacent shore.
Deschampsia Point is a point on the northwest side of Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) northeast of the Spindrift Rocks. It was descriptively named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1991, following British Antarctic Survey ecological research, after the Antarctic hair grass Deschampsia antarctica, which grows on the slopes near the point.
Gourlay Peninsula is an ice-free peninsula, which is 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) wide at its base and widens to 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km), forming the southeastern extremity of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. The seaward end of the peninsula divides into three arms, Pantomime Point, Pageant Point, and Gourlay Point. It was surveyed in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Gourlay Point.
Filer Haven is a small cove between Pantomime Point and Pageant Point on the east side of Gourlay Peninsula, Signy Island. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after John Filer, a British Antarctic Survey biologist who fell to his death from the cliffs here in 1961.
Garnet Hill is a rocky hill, 230 metres (750 ft) high, rising above the east side of McLeod Glacier in the south part of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It forms the south end of a line of rock and ice cliffs which separate McLeod Glacier from Orwell Glacier. It was so named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, following their survey of 1947, because of the abundance of garnets found there.
Gerd Island is an island 1 nautical mile (2 km) west-southwest of Stene Point at the east side of the entrance to Norway Bight, off the south coast of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted and named by Norwegian whaling captain Petter Sorlle, who made a running survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–13.
McLeod Glacier is a glacier 1 nautical mile (2 km) long, flowing in a southeasterly direction into Clowes Bay on the south side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954 for Michael McLeod, following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947. On December 12, 1821, the cutter Beaufoy under McLeod sailed to a position at least 60 nautical miles (110 km) west of the South Orkney Islands, where a chart annotation indicates that land was sighted, possibly Coronation Island.
Mansfield Point is a point marking the east side of the entrance to Norway Bight on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. It was surveyed by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1933 and by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948–49. The feature was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Arthur W. Mansfield of the FIDS, a meteorologist at Grytviken, South Georgia, in 1951, and leader, meteorologist and biologist at Signy Island in 1952.
Rethval Point is an ice-free point forming the south side of the entrance to Paal Harbour on the east side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 for the Rethval Whaling Co. of Oslo, the first company to start whaling in the South Orkney Islands in 1911-12.
Landing Cove is a cove north of Conroy Point on the northwest side of Moe Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the cove provides the only possible landing place for small boats on the island.
Lenton Point is the southwestern extremity of a small, rocky peninsula in Clowes Bay on the south side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was roughly surveyed in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). It was named in 1954 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Ralph A. Lenton of the FIDS, a radio operator at Signy Island base in 1948, who helped with the survey and biological work. Lenton subsequently worked at Admiralty Bay in 1949, and was leader at Deception Island in 1951, at Port Lockroy in 1952 and at the Argentine Islands in 1954.
