Lancing Glacier is a glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, flowing south from Mount Corneliussen and Smillie Peak to Newark Bay on the south side of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the Lancing, built in 1898, and converted to a whale factory ship in 1923. It was the first factory ship to be fitted with a slipway.
Morris Glacier is a glacier flowing north to the head of Sea Leopard Fjord in the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. it was charted in 1912–13 by American naturalist Robert Cushman Murphy, aboard the brig Daisy, who named it for Edward Lyman Morris, a botanist who was then head of the Department of Natural Science at the Brooklyn Museum.
Mount Baume is a mountain, 1,910 metres (6,270 ft) high, rising midway along the north flank of Novosilski Glacier near the southeast end of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey (SGS) in the period 1951–57 and named for Louis C. Baume, a member of the SGS in 1955–56.
