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.
Wilson Hills is a group of scattered hills, nunataks and ridges that extend NW-SE for about 110 kilometres (68 mi) between Matusevich Glacier and Pryor Glacier in Antarctica. They were discovered by Lieutenant Harry Pennell, Royal Navy, on the Terra Nova Expedition in February 1911 during Robert Falcon Scott's last expedition, and named after Dr. Edward A. Wilson, a zoologist with the expedition, who perished with Scott on the return journey from the South Pole.
Azufre Point is a headland lying 3 miles (5 km) southeast of Cape Renard on the south side of Flandres Bay, on the west coast of Graham Land. It was first charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache, 1897–99, and later charted by the Argentine Antarctic Expedition (1954) and named "Punta Azufre".
Flandres Bay is a large bay lying between Cape Renard and Cape Willems, along the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was explored in 1898 by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, who named it, probably after the historical area of Flandres.
The Danco Coast is that portion of the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula between Cape Sterneck and Cape Renard. This coast was explored in January and February 1898 by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it for Lieutenant Emile Danco who died on the expedition.
Posadowsky Glacier is a glacier about 9 nautical miles long, flowing north to Posadowsky Bay immediately east of Gaussberg. Posadowsky Bay is an open embayment, located just east of the West Ice Shelf and fronting on the Davis Sea in Kaiser Wilhelm II Land. Kaiser Wilhelm II Land is the part of East Antarctica lying between Cape Penck, at 87°43'E, and Cape Filchner, at 91°54'E, and is claimed by Australia as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Other notable geographic features in this area include Drygalski Island, located 45 mi NNE of Cape Filchner in the Davis Sea, and Mirny Station, a Russian scientific research station.
Belgica Glacier is a glacier 8 nautical miles (15 km) long, flowing into Trooz Glacier to the east of Lancaster Hill on Kiev Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land. It was first charted by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 after the RV Belgica, the ship of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache which explored this area in 1897–99.
Mount Cloos is a dome-shaped mountain probably over 915 metres (3,000 ft) high, standing at the north side of Girard Bay and 2.3 miles (3.7 km) northeast of Cape Cloos, on the northwest coast of Kiev Peninsula in Graham Land. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897–99 under Gerlache. It was named in association with Cape Cloos by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1908–10 under Jean-Baptiste Charcot.
Detour Island is an island lying 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) west of False Cape Renard, on the west side of Lemaire Channel in the Wilhelm Archipelago. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 because the island lies near the entrance to the ships' passage west of Booth Island which provides an alternative route to Lemaire Channel when the latter is blocked by ice.
Trooz Glacier is an Antarctic glacier. Situated on the Kiev Peninsula in Graham Land, 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) wide at its mouth and some 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, it flows west into the north part of Collins Bay. It was Discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10 and Named for J. de Trooz, Belgian Minister of the Interior and Public Instruction, who was instrumental in procuring funds for the publication of the scientific results of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897-99. This application was suggested by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) because of duplication of the name Trooz for what is now known as Cape Perez.
Heap Island is an island off the southeast coast of Renaud Island in the Biscoe Islands of the Graham Coast of Antarctica, between Jurva Point and Bates Island. In association with the names of sea-ice specialists grouped in this area, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1985 after John A. Heap, a sea-ice specialist with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1955–62, who worked in the Antarctic with FIDS, 1955–56, with the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–57, and with the United States Antarctic Research Program, 1962–63. He was later head of the Polar Regions Section at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and a member of the UK-APC from 1976.
Hidden Bay is a bay 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, lying between Cape Renard and Aguda Point on the northeast coast of Kiev Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land. It was first charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache 1897–99, and was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1958 because from the north the bay is hidden by the Screen Islands.
The Humphries Heights are a series of elevations extending southwest from False Cape Renard to Deloncle Bay, on the northwest coast of Kiev 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.
San Carlos Point is the southwest entrance point of Brandy Bay, James Ross Island. A refuge hut called "Refugio San Carlos" was established on this point by the Argentine Antarctic Expedition in 1959. Following geological work in the area by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1981–83, the point was called "Brandy Point" in association with the bay, but later named San Carlos Point.
Holst Point is a point at the head of Beascochea Bay which divides it into two arms, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Axel Holst, a Norwegian biochemist who in 1907, with Theodor C.B. Frølich, first produced experimental scurvy and laid the foundations for later work on vitamins.
Thunder Glacier is a through glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, which extends in an east-west direction across Wiencke Island between Sierra DuFief and the Wall Range, in the Palmer Archipelago. Probably known since the discovery of Wiencke Island by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition in 1898. Charted in 1944 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and so named by them because a survey party was nearly overwhelmed there by an avalanche.
Cape Leguillou is a point which forms the northern tip of Tower Island, at the northeast end of the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was charted by a French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, 1837–40, and named by him for Élie Le Guillou, a surgeon on the expedition ship Zélée. The name form approved is in agreement with the charts of the d'Urville expedition and has been consistently used since that time.
Lemaire Island is an island 4.5 nautical miles (8 km) long and 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) wide, lying 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Duthiers Point off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it for Charles Antoine Lemaire. The island is bordered by the Aguirre Passage which separates it from the Danco Coast.
Lientur Channel is a channel between Lemaire Island and Bryde Island connecting Paradise Harbor with Gerlache Strait, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first roughly charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99. The channel was named by the fourth Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1949–50) after the Lientur, one of the ships used during this expedition.
