Laws Glacier is a confluent glacier system which flows into Marshall Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was surveyed in 1948–49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Richard M. Laws of the FIDS, leader and biologist at Signy Research Station in 1948 and 1949, and at South Georgia in 1951.
Beaufoy Ridge is a conspicuous black ridge, rising to 650 metres (2,130 ft) at its northwest end, standing at the west side of Sunshine Glacier and close north of Iceberg Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, following their survey in 1948–49, after the cutter Beaufoy which, on December 12, 1821, under Michael McLeod, sailed to a position at least 60 nautical miles (110 km) west of the South Orkney Islands, where a chart annotation indicates that land was sighted, possibly Coronation Island.
Brisbane Heights are a series of heights rising to 960 metres (3,150 ft) and extending in an arc from Worswick Hill to High Stile in the central part of Coronation Island, South Orkney Islands. The feature was named Brisbane Plateau following the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey survey of 1948–49, but resurvey in 1956 determined heights to be a more suitable descriptive term. Matthew Brisbane, master of the cutter Beaufoy, accompanied James Weddell, master of the brig Jane, to the South Orkney Islands in January 1823, and roughly charted the south coast of the group.
Usnea Ridge is a ridge at an elevation of 100–160 m, extending north-northwest from Jane Peak to Spindrift Col in central Signy Island, South Orkney Islands. This ridge was an ecological study site for British Antarctic Survey (BAS) biologists. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1991 after lichens of the genus Usnea, which form a main element of the plant life on the ridge.
Clowes Bay is a bay 1 nautical mile (2 km) wide, entered between Confusion Point and the Oliphant Islands, along the south side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II, who named it for Archibald J. Clowes, English oceanographer on the staff of the Discovery Committee, 1924–46.
Confusion Island is an island 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) long at the west side of the entrance to Clowes Bay, off the south side of Signy Island.
The Cragsman Peaks are peaks on the west side of Marshall Bay, extending from Cape Vik northwest to Coldblow Col on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. They were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1956–58 and so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the peaks provide a "climbers' paradise."
Jensen Ridge is a curving ridge running eastward from Foca Point toward Jane Col on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was named in 1991 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Captain Gullik Jensen, of the whaling ship Strombus from Tønsberg, Norway, who made the last whaling expedition to Signy Island in 1935–36.
Kukri Hills is a prominent east-west trending range, about 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) high, forming the divide between Ferrar Glacier on the south and Taylor Glacier and Taylor Valley on the north, in Victoria Land, Antarctica.
Stygian Cove is a cove immediately west of Berry Head in the north part of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. On its west side steep rock cliffs rise to Robin Peak. Roughly surveyed in 1912–13 by Petter Sørlle, Norwegian whaling captain, and again in 1933 by DI personnel. Resurveyed and named in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The cove was named because it is so overshadowed by the cliffs of Robin Peak that a sense of stygian gloom is felt.
The Fulmar Crags are crags surmounting East Cape, the northeastern extremity of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands. The name arose from the Antarctic fulmars which breed on these crags and was given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following a 1956–58 survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey.
Strombus Ridge is a ridge curving eastward from Thulla Point toward Jane Col on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands. The feature is 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) south of Jensen Ridge. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the whaling ship Strombus, from Tonsberg, Norway, used on the last whaling expedition to Signy Island, 1935-36.
Cape Faraday is a cape which forms the northern tip of Powell Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was discovered by Captain George Powell and Captain Nathaniel Palmer on the occasion of their joint cruise in December 1821. The name first appears on Powell's chart published in 1822.
Garnet Hill is a rocky hill, 230 metres (750 ft) high, rising above the east side of McLeod Glacier in the south part of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It forms the south end of a line of rock and ice cliffs which separate McLeod Glacier from Orwell Glacier. It was so named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, following their survey of 1947, because of the abundance of garnets found there.
Meier Point is a point forming the west side of the entrance to Norway Bight on the south side of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was named on a chart by Captain Petter Sørlle, a Norwegian whaler who made a running survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–13. The Gosling Islands lie close to this point.
Marshall Bay is a bay 2 nautical miles (4 km), lying between Cape Vik and Cape Hansen on the south side of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. It was roughly charted in 1912–13 by Petter Sørlle, a Norwegian whaling captain. The bay was recharted in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II, who gave the name for surgeon Dr. E.H. Marshall, a member of the Marine Executive Staff of the Discovery Committee.
Snow Hills is a two snow-covered hills, one 240 m, the other 265 m and 0.25 nautical miles (0.5 km) to the west. Located 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) west of Cemetery Bay in the east-central part of Signy Island. The lower, eastern hill was charted and named "Snow Hill" by DI personnel on the Discovery II in 1933. In local usage the name Snow Hills has become established for both hills.
Rime Crests is a five crest-like summits surmounting the east side of Sunshine Glacier, Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The name, originally applied to the highest peak by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) following a survey of 1948-49, is descriptive of the feature's heavy cover of hoarfrost, or rime. A collective name for the summits was considered to be more useful.
