Deloncle Bay ( 65°5′S63°56′W / 65.083°S 63.933°W ) is a bay, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) long, indenting the northwest coast of Kyiv Peninsula in Graham Land between Loubat Point and Glandaz Point, and opening on Lemaire Channel opposite Booth Island. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99. Recharted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, it was named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for François Deloncle, a French diplomat.

Thurston Island is a largely ice-covered, glacially dissected island, 135 nautical miles long and 55 nautical miles wide, lying between Amundsen Sea and Bellingshausen Sea a short way off the northwest end of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. The island is separated from the mainland by Peacock Sound, which is occupied by the west portion of Abbot Ice Shelf.
James Ross Island is a large island off the southeast side and near the northeastern extremity of the Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by Prince Gustav Channel. Rising to 1,630 metres (5,350 ft), it is irregularly shaped and extends 40 nautical miles in a north–south direction.
Ulu Peninsula is that portion of James Ross Island northwest of the narrow neck of land between Rohss Bay and Croft Bay, extending from Cape Obelisk to Cape Lachman, in Antarctica.
Pryor Glacier is a glacier flowing northeastward, to the north of Mount Shields and Yermak Point, into Rennick Bay. The feature is about 30 nautical miles long and forms a physical separation between Wilson Hills and Usarp Mountains.
The Latady Mountains are a group of mountains rising west of Gardner Inlet and between Wetmore Glacier and Ketchum Glacier, in southeastern Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Cadman Glacier is a glacier, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) wide at its mouth and about 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, flowing northwestward into the head of the southern arm of Beascochea Bay south of Plas Point on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Clements Island is an island 1 nautical mile (2 km) long lying immediately south of Rabot Island in the Biscoe Islands. The French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, gave the name Ile Clements Markham for Sir Clements Markham, President of the Royal Geographical Society, 1893–1905. Charcot applied this name to an incompletely defined island northeast of Renaud Island, in what is now the Pitt Islands. The recommended application, however, is based upon the map of the British Graham Land Expedition, 1934–37, which provided a more reliable chart of the area. The first part of the name, rather than the last, has been retained to distinguish this feature from Markham Island in Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land.
Funk Glacier is a glacier flowing into the head of Nevsha Cove in Beascochea Bay to the south of Frölich Peak, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Casimir Funk, an American biochemist who, while working at the Lister Institute in London in 1912, originated the theory of vitamins.
Guyou Bay is a bay 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, which indents the west coast of Brabant Island between Claude Point and Metchnikoff Point, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. Its head is fed by Dodelen, Oshane and Ralitsa Glaciers.
Glandaz Point is a point forming the south side of the entrance to Deloncle Bay in Kyiv Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and was named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for A. Glandaz.
Morse Point is a point marking the east side of the entrance of Antarctic Bay on the north coast of South Georgia. The point appears roughly charted on maps dating back to about 1900; it was roughly surveyed by Discovery Investigations personnel in the period 1925–31, and resurveyed by the South Georgia Survey in 1951–52. The point was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the British sealing vessel Morse, which was working in South Georgia in 1799–1800, probably the first British sealer to do so. She was based at Antarctic Bay when encountered by Edmund Fanning, who published an account of the meeting.
The Hamarglovene Crevasses are a crevasse field in lower Vestreskorve Glacier just east of Hamaroya Mountain, in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Hamarglovene.
Loubat Point is a point forming the north side of the entrance to Deloncle Bay in Kyiv Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. While probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, it was resighted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for a Monsieur de Loubat.
The Humphries Heights are a series of elevations extending southwest from False Cape Renard to Deloncle Bay, on the northwest coast of Kyiv Peninsula, Graham Land, Antarctica. They were charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99, and were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Colonel G.J. Humphries, then Deputy Director, and future Director of Overseas Surveys.
Hotine Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long which is divided at its mouth by Mount Cloos, flowing west into both Deloncle Bay and Girard Bay on Kyiv Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Brigadier Martin Hotine, Director of Overseas Surveys.
Keller Peninsula is a high peninsula separating Mackellar Inlet and Martel Inlet in Admiralty Bay, on King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. The name Keller was applied by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who charted Admiralty Bay in December 1909.
Rasmussen Island is a small island in the north part of Waddington Bay, on the west coast of Graham Land. The north entrance to Waddington Bay was named "Cap Rasmussen" by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache, but air photos show no significant point there which can be reidentified without ambiguity. To preserve the original name in the vicinity, the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 applied the name Rasmussen to this island.
Leay Glacier is a glacier flowing northwest into Girard Bay to the west of Hotine Glacier, on Kyiv Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Petra Searle of the Directorate of Overseas Surveys, who has contributed to the work of mapping the Antarctic Peninsula area.
Lever Glacier is a glacier, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) wide at its mouth and at least 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, flowing west-northwest, then west-southwest into the head of the northern arm of Beascochea Bay north of Chorul Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The glacier was first sighted and roughly surveyed in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition. It was resurveyed in 1935 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and named in 1954 for William Lever, 2nd Viscount Leverhulme, who contributed toward the cost of the BGLE.
