Aphrodite Glacier is a glacier 15 nautical miles (28 km) long flowing north to the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Victory Nunatak. The lower portion of the feature was first plotted by W.L.G. Joerg from aerial photographs taken by Sir Hubert Wilkins in December 1928 and by Lincoln Ellsworth in November 1935. The glacier was subsequently photographed by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in December 1947 and surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in December 1958 and November 1960. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Aphrodite, the goddess of love in Greek mythology.
The Barros Rocks are a group of rocks between the Berthelot Islands and the Argentine Islands, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Cape Tuxen off the west coast of Graham Land.

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.
Comrie Glacier is a glacier 13 nautical miles (24 km) long, flowing west to enter the head of Bigo Bay on the west coast of Graham Land. It was first sighted and roughly surveyed by the French Antarctic Expedition in 1909. It was resurveyed in 1935–36 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), and later named for Leslie J. Comrie, founder and first Director of the Scientific Computing Service Ltd, London, who, as Superintendent of HM Nautical Almanac Office in 1934, greatly assisted the BGLE, 1934–37, by providing advance copies of The Nautical Almanac up to 1937.
Whiting Rocks is a three rocks lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) south of The Barchans, Argentine Islands, off the coast of Graham Land. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Colin S. Whiting, survey assistant of the Hydrographic Survey Unit from HMS Endurance working in the area in February 1969.
The Kramer Rocks are two rocks lying in the northern part of Beascochea Bay, 3 nautical miles (10 km) southeast of Cape Perez on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for J.G.H. Kramer, an Austrian army physician who independently recognized scurvy as a nutritional deficiency disease and showed how it could be prevented or cured, in about 1737.
The Frost Rocks are a cluster of rocks situated southwest of the southern Argentine Islands and 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) southwest of the Whiting Rocks, off the coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Richard Frost, a survey assistant of the Hydrographic Survey Unit from HMS Endurance working in the area in February 1969.
Trickster Rocks is a several small rocks emerging from the sea less than 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Chavez Island in Grandidier Channel, off the west coast of Graham Land. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the rocks escaped notice of the 1957 Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) survey party, as they were thought to be icebergs. The feature was photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd., 1957-58.
Puzzle Islands is a group of small islands, rocks and reefs at the mouth of Flandres Bay, lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west of Menier Island off the west coast of Graham Land. First charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1903-05. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1958; the group is often hidden by icebergs which come to rest in the surrounding shallow waters.
Pythia Island is an island 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) long, the largest of a group of small islands off the east side of Enterprise Island in Wilhelmina Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 after Christen Christensen's whaling factory Pythia, which operated from nearby Gouvernoren Harbor during the 1921-22 whaling season.
The Gaunt Rocks are a small group of rocks lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of the Barros Rocks, in the Wilhelm Archipelago. They were roughly charted by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, and more accurately positioned by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57. The name, given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959, is descriptive of these desolate, grim-looking rocks.
McCollum Peak is a peak, 735 metres (2,410 ft) high, standing south of Beascochea Bay 2 nautical miles (4 km) southeast of Mount Waugh, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, 1908–10, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Elmer V. McCollum, an American biochemist who first isolated vitamins A and B, in 1915.
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.
Runnelstone Rock is a rock lying at the southwest end of Grandidier Channel, 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Larrouy Island and 16 nautical miles (30 km) west-southwest of Cape Garcia, Graham Land. Charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) in 1935–36 and named after the Runnel Stone off Gwennap Head, Cornwall, England.
Recess Cove is a cove 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) wide in the east side of Charlotte Bay, along the west coast of Graham Land. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), this cove forms a recess in the side of Charlotte Bay.
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.
Verge Rocks is a two rocks lying 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) north of Chavez Island, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956-57, and was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the rocks lie on the edge of Grandidier Channel.
