Le Couteur Glacier is a glacier, 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, which drains the northwest slopes of Mount Hall and Mount Daniel and flows north along the west side of the Lillie Range to the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It was named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1963–64) for P. C. Le Couteur, a geologist with the New Zealand Federated Mountain Clubs Antarctic Expedition, 1962–63.
Bradley Rock is an isolated rock which lies about 9 nautical miles (17 km) northwest of the entrance to French Passage in the Wilhelm Archipelago. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (1973) for Lieutenant Commander Edgar M. Bradley, Royal Navy, who directed a hydrographic survey in the area in 1965.
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.
Day Island is an island, 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide, lying immediately south of The Gullet and 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Wyatt Island in the northern part of Laubeuf Fjord, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, who used the provisional name Middle Island for this feature. The island was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and renamed by them for Vice Admiral Sir Archibald Day, Hydrographer of the Navy.
Penola Strait is a strait 11 nautical miles (20 km) long and averaging 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, separating the Argentine Islands, Petermann Island and Hovgaard Island from the west coast of Graham Land. Traversed by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache on 12 February 1898. Named by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934–37, under Rymill, for the expedition ship Penola.
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.
Flank Island is the southernmost of the Myriad Islands, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) east-northeast of the Snag Rocks in the Wilhelm Archipelago. It was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57 and from the helicopter of HMS Protector in March 1958, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because of its position.
Gerasimou Glacier is a steep-walled tributary glacier, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, entering the west side of Shackleton Glacier opposite the Gemini Nunataks, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition, 1964–65, for Helen Gerasimou, a polar personnel specialist with the Office of Antarctic Programs, National Science Foundation.
Goldsmith Glacier is a glacier flowing west-northwest through the Theron Mountains of Antarctica, 6 nautical miles (11 km) south of Tailend Nunatak. It was first mapped in 1956–57 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) and named for Rainer Goldsmith, medical officer with the advance party of the CTAE in 1955-56.
Gossler Islands are a group of north–south trending islands 3 nautical miles (6 km) in extent, lying 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) west of Cape Monaco, Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. They were discovered and named by a German expedition under Eduard Dallmann, 1873–74, in honour of the Gossler banking family of Hamburg. The expedition was funded by the Deutsche Polar-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft shipping company, that was co-owned by Ernst Gossler (1838–1893), a grandson of Senator Johann Heinrich Gossler and a great-grandson of Johann Hinrich Gossler.
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.
Mount Maslen is a mountain, 1,200 metres (4,000 ft) high, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Mount Currie in the Raggatt Mountains of Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956 and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for A.W.G. Maslen, the officer-in-charge at Mawson Station in 1961.
Marie Island is an island 2 nautical miles (4 km) long, which lies immediately north of Cape Evensen on the northwest coast of Stresher Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctica. The name "Pointe Marie," after the elder sister of Dr. Jean-Baptiste Charcot, was applied by the Third French Antarctic Expedition (1903–05) to a point on the coast close north of Cape Evensen. After the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–10) Charcot re-applied the name to the southern tip of an island, "Ile Waldeck-Rousseau," in approximately the same latitude. Correlating its survey with those of Charcot, the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–37) identified "Ile Waldeck-Rousseau" as Waldeck-Rousseau Peak on the mainland. The most prominent feature near the peak requiring a name is this island, and the name "Marie Island" preserves Charcot's naming in the locality.
Holtedahl Bay is a bay, 10 nautical miles (19 km) long in a northwest–southeast direction and averaging 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide, between Velingrad Peninsula and Stresher Peninsula along the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The bay is entered southwest of Prospect Point and northeast of Black Head, and has its head fed by Hugi Glacier.
The Horne Nunataks are a group of six nunataks in relative isolation, located on the north side of Goodenough Glacier, about 7 nautical miles (13 km) inland from the west coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Ralph R. Horne, a British Antarctic Survey geologist at the Adelaide and Stonington Island stations in 1964–65.
Kannheiser Glacier is a glacier about 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, lying 12 nautical miles (22 km) east-southeast of Cape Flying Fish on Thurston Island, Antarctica, and flowing south into the Abbot Ice Shelf. It was first delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander William Kannheiser, U.S. Navy, a helicopter pilot aboard USS Glacier, who explored and photographed new Thurston Island features in February 1960.
Luke Glacier is a glacier at least 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, flowing northwest into the head of Leroux Bay on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It is surmounted by Mount Chevreux on the south, Mount Perchot on the southwest and Mount Radotina on the northeast. The glacier was first sighted and roughly surveyed in 1909 by the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition. It was resurveyed in 1935–36 by the British Graham Land Expedition and later named for George Lawson Johnston, 1st Baron Luke of Pavenham, Chairman of Bovril Ltd, who contributed toward the cost of the expedition.
Rotz Glacier is a tributary glacier 9 nautical miles (17 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide. It flows west from Wakefield Highland, central Antarctic Peninsula, into Airy Glacier at a point due south of Mount Timosthenes. Photographed by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) on November 27, 1947. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in December 1958 and November 1960. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Jean Rotz, 16th century French chartmaker and writer on the principles of navigation, who designed an elaborate magnetic compass and became hydrographer to King Henry VIII in 1542.
Lewthwaite Strait is a passage 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) wide, lying between Coronation Island and Powell Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. It was discovered in December 1821, on the occasion of the joint cruise of Captain George Powell, a British sealer in the sloop Dove, and Captain Nathaniel Palmer, an American sealer in the sloop James Monroe. Mr. Lewthwaite was a teacher of navigation in Prince's Street, Rotherhithe, London; Captain Powell left the chart and journal of his Antarctic exploration with Lewthwaite before sailing on his last expedition, on which he met his death.
