Trioen Nunataks is an isolated group of three nunataks about 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Borg Mountain in Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–1952), led by John Schjelderup Giæver and named Trioen.
The Jagged Rocks are a group of rocks lying near the center of Hut Cove in the eastern part of Hope Bay, at the northeast end of the Antarctic Peninsula. First charted in 1903 by a party under J. Gunner Andersson of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, they were given this descriptive name by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1945.
Bombardier Glacier is a glacier draining southeast from the edge of Detroit Plateau on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica and through a deep trough between Darzalas Peak and Trave Peak to join Edgeworth Glacier and flow into Mundraga Bay. It was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–1961), and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Joseph-Armand Bombardier, the Canadian engineer who developed the snowmobile from 1926 to 1937, one of the earliest successful self-propelled over-snow vehicles.
Nobby Nunatak is a nunatak, 270 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Lake Boeckella and 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) east of Mount Flora, at the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula.
Darboux Island is an island 1 nautical mile (2 km) long rising to 270 metres (900 ft), lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Cape Perez off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for Jean Gaston Darboux, the noted French mathematician.
Kusunoki Point is a point on the west coast and near the north end of Renaud Island, in the Biscoe Islands, Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd, 1956–57, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Kou Kusunoki, a Japanese sea ice specialist at Hokkaido University, and from 1966 with the National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo.
Myriad Islands is a scattered group of small islands and rocks extending for about 5 nautical miles (9 km), lying west of the Dannebrog and Vedel Islands in the Wilhelm Archipelago. Charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 because of the very many islands in the group.
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.
Eliason Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) long close west of Mount Hornsby, flowing south from Detroit Plateau into the ice piedmont north of Larsen Inlet, Nordenskjöld Coast in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the Eliason motor sledge, invented in 1942 in Sweden, now made in Canada, and used in Arctic Canada since 1950 and in the Antarctic since 1960.
Evensen Nunatak is a nunatak 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) northwest of Dallmann Nunatak in the Seal Nunataks group, off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was first charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in August 1947, and named by them for Captain C.J. Evensen of the Hertha, who explored along the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1893.
Mount Paulcke is a mountain, at least 915 m, standing west of Huitfeldt Point, Barilari Bay, on the west coast of Graham Land. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956-57, and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 for Wilhelm Paulcke (1873–1949), German pioneer exponent of skiing who, with three companions, demonstrated the possibilities of long distance ski-mountaineering for the first time.
Gallows Point is the northernmost of two low, parallel points which mark the extremity of Gamma Island in the Melchior Islands, Palmer Archipelago. The name was probably given by Discovery Investigations personnel who roughly surveyed the point in 1927. The point was resurveyed by Argentine expeditions in 1942, 1943 and 1948.
The Hampton Bluffs are a group of three rock bluffs on the east side of Larsen Inlet, Graham Land, Antarctica. They were mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960–61), and were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Ian F.G. Hampton, an FIDS physiologist at Hope Bay in 1959 and 1960.
The Harpun Rocks are submerged rocks lying 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) southeast of Bills Point, Delta Island, in the Melchior Islands of the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The name appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by Discovery Investigations personnel, but may reflect an earlier naming by whalers. Harpun is a Norwegian form of the word harpoon.
The Lorn Rocks are a group of rocks lying 12 nautical miles (22 km) west of the north end of Lahille Island, in the Biscoe Islands of Antarctica. They were mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and were so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the rocks are small, forlorn and deserted.
Lobel Island is an island nearly 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long, laying 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Brown Island in the Wauwermans Islands of the Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica. It was charted by the Third French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, 1903–05, and named for Loicq de Lobel.
Melchior Harbor is a small harbor in the Melchior Islands, Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica, formed by the semi-circular arrangement of Delta, Alpha, Beta, Kappa and Gamma Islands. The name, derived from the name of the island group, was probably given by Discovery Investigations personnel who roughly surveyed the harbor in 1927. The harbor was later surveyed by Argentine expeditions in 1942, 1943 and 1948.
Ménier Island is an island, the largest in a small island group lying in the mouth of Flandres Bay, 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Cape Renard, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The island group was discovered by the Third French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who gave them the name "Iles Ménier." The name Ménier is now applied to the largest of these islands.
Hermes Glacier is a glacier 8 nautical miles (15 km) long, flowing west into Weyerhaeuser Glacier in southern Graham Land, Antarctica. It was surveyed in January 1960 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey who discovered the glacier after several fruitless attempts to find a route out of the mountains east of Earnshaw Glacier. It provided an ideal "road" back to known country and was therefore named after Hermes, the god of roads in Greek mythology. This name by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee initiated the idea of naming other features in this area after Greek gods.
McCarthy Point is an ice-covered point that marks the northeastern extremity of Grant Island on the seaward edge of the Getz Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It was discovered and charted from the USS Glacier on February 4, 1962, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant J.F. McCarthy, U.S. Navy, disbursing officer on the Glacier at the time of discovery.
