King Edward Cove is a sheltered cove immediately southwest of Mount Duse, in the west side of Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. This cove, frequented by early sealers at South Georgia, was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld. It was named in about 1906 for King Edward VII of the United Kingdom.
Fortuna Bay is a bay 3 miles (5 km) long and 1 mile (1.6 km) wide. Its entrance is defined by Cape Best on the west and Robertson Point to the east, near Atherton Peak on the north coast of South Georgia. It was named after the Fortuna, one of the ships of the Norwegian–Argentine whaling expedition under C.A. Larsen which participated in establishing the first permanent whaling station at Grytviken, South Georgia, in 1904–05. The Second German Antarctic Expedition (SGAE) under Wilhelm Filchner explored Fortuna Bay in 1911–12. Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel charted the area during their 1929–30 expedition.
Maiviken is a cove at the north end of Thatcher Peninsula between Cumberland West Bay and Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. It was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskjöld, and named "Majviken" after May Day, 1902, the day on which the cove was entered. Over the years, the Norwegian spelling Maiviken has become established for the cove.
Ice Gate Glacier is a narrow hanging glacier, tributary to Astudillo Glacier, between rock spurs on the west slope of Dallmeyer Peak, Danco Coast, Antarctica. It was named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition in about 1992, probably from the gatelike appearance of the spurs at the junction of the two glaciers.
Lewald Glacier is a small glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Cape Vahsel, flowing northward to the coast at the east end of South Georgia. It was named by the Second German Antarctic Expedition, 1911–12, under Wilhelm Filchner, for Theodor Lewald, Ministerialdirektor im Reichsamt des Innern, Germany, who took an active interest in the expedition.
Babe Island is an island which lies in the entrance to Cobblers Cove, along the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted and named by DI personnel in 1929.
Mount Barren is a mountain, 645 metres (2,120 ft) high, standing west of Husvik Harbour on the north coast of South Georgia. Its name is descriptive, and was probably given by the Discovery Investigations in 1926–30. Mount Barren lies 0.8 nautical miles north of McIlroy Peak named after British surgeon Dr. James McIlroy (surgeon).
Brandt Cove is a cove on the south side of Drygalski Fjord, South Georgia, 1 nautical mile (2 km) north of the head of Larsen Harbour. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Karl Brandt, American economist and professor of agricultural economics at Stanford University, California; author of Whale Oil: An Economic Analysis.
Burnet Cove is a cove 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) southwest of Mai Point, on the east side of Maiviken in Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. It was roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld; it was resurveyed in 1929 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. The name Burnet, given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, is the English name of a plant which is common in this vicinity.
Cobblers Cove is a small cove which provides an anchorage 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) west of the entrance to Godthul, along the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted and named Pleasant Cove by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1929, but that name is not known locally. The South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, reported that this feature is known to whalers and sealers as "Skomaker Hullet", because it was first entered in thick fog by a Norwegian gunner who had once been a cobbler. An English form of this name has been approved.
Jumbo Cove is a cove 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) southeast of Busen Point on the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted and named by Discovery Investigations personnel during the period 1926–30.
Johannsen Loch is a cove 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km) long, lying 1 nautical mile (2 km) north of Ocean Harbour along the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears on a chart based upon surveys by Discovery Investigations personnel during the period 1926–30, but may reflect an earlier naming.
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.
Piccard Cove is a cove bordered by O'Neal Point to the northwest and Sophie Cliff to the northeast, and forming the southernmost part of Wilhelmina Bay, along the west coast of Graham Land. Charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897-99. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Auguste Piccard, Swiss physicist, stratosphere pioneer who reached a height of 9.5 nautical miles (18 km) in a hydrogen-filled balloon in 1931.
Harper Peak is a peak, 785 metres (2,575 ft) high, standing east of Fortuna Peak and Fortuna Bay on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1931 British Admiralty chart.
Heezen Glacier is a glacier flowing northeast from the eastern portion of the Wegener Range and entering Violante Inlet east of Mount Reynolds, on the Black Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from aerial photographs taken by the U.S. Navy, 1966–69. In association with the names of oceanographers grouped in this area, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after Bruce C. Heezen, an American marine geologist and oceanographer who was Professor of Geology at Columbia University's Lamont–Doherty Geological Observatory, 1964–77.
Hobart Rock is a low rock lying at the south side of the entrance to King Edward Cove, Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. The name appears on a chart based upon a survey of King Edward Cove by personnel on HMS Sappho in 1906.
Mount Macklin is a mountain having 2 peaks, the higher at 1,900 metres (6,200 ft), between Mount Carse and Douglas Crag in the southern part of the Salvesen Range of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Alexander H. Macklin, the medical officer of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition under Ernest Shackleton, 1914–16. Macklin accompanied Shackleton in the voyage of the James Caird from Elephant Island to King Haakon Bay, South Georgia.
Sandebugten is a cove in Cumberland East Bay at the west end of Reindeer Valley, South Georgia. The name appears on a 1929 British Admiralty chart but probably was applied earlier by Norwegian whalers operating from South Georgia.
Ranvik is a cove 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Diaz Cove along the south coast of South Georgia. Surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57. The name is well established in local use.
