Cape Longing is a rocky cape on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, forming the south end of a large ice-covered promontory which marks the west side of the south entrance to Prince Gustav Channel. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld in 1902, and so named by him because from the position of his winter hut on Snow Hill Island the cape lay in the direction of his "land of longing" which he was anxious to explore.
Flask Glacier, is a gently-sloping glacier, 25 nautical miles long, flowing east from Bruce Plateau to enter Scar Inlet between Daggoo Peak and Spouter Peak in Graham Land, Antarctica. The lower reaches of this glacier were surveyed and photographed by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947. The entire glacier was photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1955–56, and mapped by the FIDS in 1957. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee after the third mate on the Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick; or, The White Whale.
The Argentine Islands are a group of islands in the Wilhelm Archipelago of Antarctica, situated 5 nautical miles (9 km) southwest of Petermann Island, and 4 nautical miles (7 km) northwest of Cape Tuxen on Kiev Peninsula in Graham Land. They were discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and named by him for the Argentine Republic in appreciation of that government's support of to his expedition.
Beascochea Bay is a bay, 10 nautical miles (19 km) long and 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, indenting the Graham Coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, between Kiev Peninsula and Barison Peninsula, and entered south of Cape Perez. The glaciers Lever, Funk, Cadman, Talev and Butamya feed the bay.
Birley Glacier is a glacier, at least 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, flowing west into the eastern extremity of Barilari Bay north of Vardun Point, on the west coast of Graham Land. First seen and roughly surveyed in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, it was re-surveyed in 1935–36 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and later named for Kenneth P. Birley, who contributed toward the cost of the BGLE, 1934–37.
Chavez Island is an island 3 nautical miles (6 km) long which rises to 550 metres (1,800 ft), lying immediately west of Magnier Peninsula, which is between Leroux Bay and Bigo Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered and named by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, probably for Commandant Alfonso Chaves of Ponta Delgada, Azores, but the spelling Chavez has become established through long usage.
Deniau Island is a small island lying midway between Darboux Island and the Lippmann Islands, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for a Monsieur Deniau, a donor of numerous gifts to the expedition.
Myriad Islands is a scattered group of small islands and rocks extending for about 5 nautical miles (9 km), lying west of the Dannebrog and Vedel Islands in the Wilhelm Archipelago. Charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 because of the very many islands in the group.
Grotto Island is a narrow island 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) long with a serrated coastline, lying 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) north of Galindez Island in the Argentine Islands, Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica. It was charted and named in 1935 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill.
Duchaylard Island is an island 3 nautical miles (6 km) long at the west side of Grandidier Channel, lying 1 nautical mile (2 km) southeast of Vieugue Island and 10 nautical miles (18 km) west of Cape Garcia, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for Monsieur du Chaylard, French Minister Plenipotentiary at Montevideo, Uruguay. The recommended spelling follows the form used in Maurice Bongrain's report of 1914 and is now firmly established.
Duclaux Point is a point extending into Bouquet Bay from the east side of Pasteur Peninsula, 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Cape Cockburn on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for Pierre E. Duclaux, a French biochemist who was director of the Pasteur Institute in Paris in 1895.
Eliason Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) long close west of Mount Hornsby, flowing south from Detroit Plateau into the ice piedmont north of Larsen Inlet, Nordenskjöld Coast in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the Eliason motor sledge, invented in 1942 in Sweden, now made in Canada, and used in Arctic Canada since 1950 and in the Antarctic since 1960.
Gourdon Glacier is a glacier 4 nautical miles (7 km) long on the east side of James Ross Island, flowing southeast into Markham Bay between Saint Rita Point and Rabot Point. It has a conspicuous rock wall at its head. The glacier was first surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04, who named it for Ernest Gourdon, geologist and glaciologist of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05.
Mount Mill is a mountain, 735 metres (2,410 ft), standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of Mount Balch on the northeast shore of Waddington Bay, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, and was named by the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, for British geographer Hugh Robert Mill, an Antarctic historian and author in 1905 of The Siege of the South Pole.
The Huddle Rocks are a group of rocks lying 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) northwest of the Symington Islands, in the Biscoe Islands of Antarctica. They were mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because of the compact nature of the group.
The Martin Islands are a group of islands and rocks 5 nautical miles (9 km) in extent lying 5 nautical miles east of the northern part of Renaud Island, and 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Vieugue Island in Grandidier Channel, Antarctica. A group of islands to the north of "Pitt Island" was roughly charted and named "Martin Islands" for Captain Martin of the Argentine Navy, by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. Aerial surveys have shown that what appeared to be one large island, Pitt, is actually a group of small islands. As they lie in one group with no logical division between them, the earlier name of Pitt was amended to Pitt Islands and extended to cover all the islands north of Renaud Island. The name Martin Islands was transferred to the group now described in order to preserve Charcot's name in the area.
Mapple Glacier is a narrow glacier 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, flowing eastward between Arkovna Ridge and Stevrek Ridge in the Aristotle Mountains of Antarctica to enter Sexaginta Prista Bay on the east side of Graham Land. It lies 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Melville Glacier and is separated from it by a line of small peaks. The glacier was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1961, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Father Mapple, the whalemen's Nantucket priest in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
Lapeyrère Bay is 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, and lies north of Gourdon Peninsula, indenting the northeast coast of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. Its head is fed by Iliad Glacier.
Leroux Bay is a bay 9 nautical miles (17 km) long in a northwest–southeast direction and averaging 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, between Nunez Point and the narrow Magnier Peninsula surmounted by the Magnier Peaks and Lisiya Ridge, along the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The glaciers Chernomen, Luke and Muldava feed the bay.
Black Island is an island 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) long, lying close southwest of Skua Island in the Argentine Islands, Wilhelm Archipelago. It was charted and named descriptively in 1935 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill.
