Possession Bay is a bay 2 miles (3.2 km) wide on the north coast of South Georgia, an island in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It recedes southwest for 5 miles (8 km), and is separated from Cook Bay to the north by Black Head promontory. It is connected to King Haakon Bay by Shackleton Gap, a mountain pass.
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.
Rocky Bay is a small bay, with numerous rocks lying in the bay and at its entrance, situated immediately north of Ducloz Head along the south coast of South Georgia. The presence of this bay seems to have been first noted in 1819 by Admiral Thaddeus Bellingshausen who roughly charted a small inlet in this approximate position. The name was in use prior to 1930 and was probably applied by sealers and whalers working in the area.
Novosilski Glacier is a glacier, 8 miles (13 km) long and 2 miles (3.2 km) wide, flowing in a westerly direction from the southwest slopes of the Salvesen Range to Novosilski Bay on the south coast of South Georgia. First surveyed and named by a German expedition 1928-29, under Kohl-Larsen. The name derives from nearby Novosilski Bay.
Jason Harbour is a bay 1 mile (1.6 km) wide, lying west of Allen Bay in the north side of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. It was charted and named by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld. The bay was previously visited by the Jason, Captain C.A. Larsen, in 1894.
Islet Point is a headland forming the east side of the entrance to Carlita Bay, Cumberland West Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart and probably derives from the islet just off the point.
O'Hara Glacier is a glacier just west of Ackroyd Point, flowing northwest into the south side of Yule Bay, Victoria Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960-63. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Norbert W. O'Hara, a member of the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) party which conducted studies of the Ross Ice Shelf, 1965-66.
Mount Antell is a mountain rising above 610 metres (2,000 ft), overlooking the north coast of South Georgia midway between Bjelland Point and Hercules Point. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Georg Antell, foreman of the South Georgia Whaling Company station at nearby Leith Harbour, 1913–39.
Mount Back is a peak, 650 metres (2,130 ft) high, located 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) south of Doris Bay, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Squadron Leader Anthony H. Back, Royal Air Force, assistant surveyor with the British Combined Services Expedition of 1964–65, who assisted in the survey of this peak.
Best Peak is a peak, 600 metres (2,000 ft) high, standing southwest of Illusion Point, Fortuna Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1931 British Admiralty chart.
Cairns Shoal is a small area of shoal lying 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) west of Craigie Point in the east part of Right Whale Bay, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Petty Officer Peter T. Cairns of HMS Owen, which first located this shoal in 1961.
Clear Point is a headland forming the northeast side of the entrance to Leith Harbour, Stromness Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart.
Turpie Rock is a rock 1 m high, lying in the entrance to Hercules Bay off the north coast of South Georgia. Positioned by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the Turpie, which was for many years used by the South Georgia Whaling Co. as a hulk at Leith Harbor and is now sunk there.
Doubtful Point is a point forming the east side of the entrance to Enten Bay, Cumberland West Bay, in South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart.
Fortuna Peak is a peak, 385 metres (1,260 ft) high, standing at the east side of Fortuna Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1931 British Admiralty chart, and is probably in association with Fortuna Bay.
Harbour Point is a point separating Leith Harbour and Stromness Harbour, in Stromness Bay, South Georgia. This descriptive name was in use as early as 1920 and was probably applied by whalers operating from Stromness Bay.
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.
Mercer Bay is a small bay marked by Geikie Glacier at its head, at the southwest end of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. The bay appears on a sketch map of Cumberland Bay by Lieutenant S.A. Duse of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, and is first used on a chart based upon survey work by Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel in 1926–30. It was probably named for Lieutenant Commander G.M. Mercer, Royal Naval Reserve, captain of the DI research ship William Scoresby, which engaged in whale marking and oceanographic work off South Georgia in 1926–27.
Kelp Bay is a small open bay close east-southeast of Doris Bay on the north coast of South Georgia. It is filled with kelp and there is no anchorage. The South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, reported that the descriptive name was well established locally.
