The Ohio Range is a mountain range in the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica. It is about 48 km (30 mi) long and 16 km (10 mi) wide, extending WSW-ENE from Eldridge Peak to Mirsky Ledge. The range forms the northeast end of the Horlick Mountains and consists primarily of a large snow-topped plateau with steep northern cliffs and several flat-topped ridges and mountains. The highest point is the summit of Mount Schopf.
The Scott Mountains are a large number of isolated peaks lying south of Amundsen Bay in Enderby Land of East Antarctica, Antarctica. Discovered on 13 January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Sir Douglas Mawson. He named the feature Scott Range after Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Royal Navy. The term mountains is considered more appropriate because of the isolation of its individual features.
Discovery Bay is a bay 5 km (3 mi) long and 3 km (2 mi) wide, indenting the north side of Greenwich Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It had been known to sealers in the area since about 1821. It was charted and named in 1935 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II.
Useful Island is an island 3.2 km west of Rongé Island, with a string of rocks between, lying in Gerlache Strait off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Adrien de Gerlache. The name appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery.
Chabrier Rock is a rock which lies 0.5 miles (0.8 km) southwest of Vauréal Peak in the east side of the entrance to Admiralty Bay, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was charted and named in December 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot.
William Glacier is a glacier flowing south from the interior highlands of Anvers Island to the head of Börgen Bay on the southeast coast of the island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache, and charted by them simply as a "grand glacier." The name William Glacier first appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the Discovery.
Bare Rock is a rock which lies 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) northeast of Berntsen Point in the entrance to Borge Bay, off the west. Elevation: 1174m.
side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted and named descriptively by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery in 1927.
The Billie Rocks are a group of rocks 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) northeast of Drying Point, lying in Borge Bay along the east side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The name "Billie Rock", for the easternmost rock of the group, appeared on a chart based upon a 1927 sketch survey of Borge Bay by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery. The name has since been extended to include the entire group.
Cove Rock is a low offshore rock 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of North Foreland, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1937 and called descriptively Cone Rock; the spelling Cove Rock, likely through error in transcription, appeared in a Hydrographic Office publication in 1942, and became established.
Johansen Peak is a prominent peak, 3,310 metres (10,860 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) east-southeast of Mount Grier in the La Gorce Mountains of the Queen Maud Mountains in Antarctica. It was discovered by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd on the South Pole Flight of November 28–29, 1929, and mapped in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn. The peak was so named in an attempt to reconcile Byrd's discoveries with the names applied by Roald Amundsen in 1911. Amundsen had named a peak in the general vicinity for Hjalmar Johansen, a member of the Eastern Sledge Party of his 1910–12 expedition.
Jenny Buttress is a rock buttress 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) north of Melville Peak, overlooking Destruction Bay on the east side of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for the sealing vessel Jenny from the Isle of Wight which was found drifting in Drake Passage by the whaler Hope in September 1840. All her crew were dead and the log was entered up to January 17, 1823.
Knife Point is a point along the south side of Borge Bay, 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) southeast of Mooring Point, on the east side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 survey of Borge Bay by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming.
Growler Rock is a rock 1 nautical mile (2 km) northwest of Lions Rump in the western part of King George Bay, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was charted and named during 1937 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II. The term "growler" is used to denote small pieces of ice barely showing above water.
Drying Point is a point on the southwest side of Borge Bay, lying 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) northwest of Mooring Point on the east side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The name appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey of Borge Bay by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery.
Emm Rock is a conspicuous rock 30 metres (100 ft) high, lying 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) off the south coast of King George Island at the east side of the entrance to Potter Cove, in the South Shetland Islands. This rock, presumably known to early sealers in the area, was sketched by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and charted by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II in 1935. The name derives from the shape of the rock, which resembles the letter M.
Mooring Point is a point along the south side of Borge Bay between Drying Point and Knife Point, on the east side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 survey of Borge Bay by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming by whalers.
Long Glacier is a glacier about 8 nautical miles long in the southeastern part of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It flows south to the Abbot Ice Shelf, 14 nautical miles (26 km) west of Harrison Nunatak. The glacier was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Fred A. Long, Jr., an aviation machinist of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, who wintered at Little America V in 1957 and was in Antarctica in the 1960–61 and 1962–63 seasons.
Sorge Island is an island lying just south of The Gullet in Barlas Channel, close east of Adelaide Island. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1948-59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Ernst F.W. Sorge, German glaciologist who made the first seismic soundings of the Greenland ice sheet, 1929–31, and developed a theory of the densification of firn.
Hole Rock is the largest of several rocks lying close north of North Foreland, the northeastly 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.
Limit Rock is a rock awash, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) east of North Foreland, the northeast cape of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands on the Southern Ocean. It was charted in 1937 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II, and so named because it marks the eastern limit of foul ground surrounding North Foreland.
