Rongé Island is a high, rugged island 5 nautical miles long, the largest island of the group which forms the west side of Errera Channel, off the west coast of Graham Land in Antarctica.
Loch Inver is a 3.62-kilometre-long sea loch in Assynt, Sutherland and is on the northwest coast of Scotland. The loch meets the coastal embayment of Enard Bay at the north end and The Minch, where it meets Soyea Island at its mouth.
The geography of the North Sea studies coastal and submarine features as well as the people who live on its coasts. It is bounded by the east coasts of England and Scotland to the west and the northern and central European mainland to the east and south, including Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. In the south-west, beyond the Straits of Dover, the North Sea becomes the English Channel. In the east, it connects to the Baltic Sea via the Skagerrak and Kattegat, narrow straits that separate Denmark from Norway and Sweden respectively. In the north, it opens in a widening funnel shape to the Norwegian Sea, which lies in the very north-eastern part of the Atlantic.
Paradise Harbour is a wide embayment behind Lemaire Island and Bryde Island, indenting the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, between Duthiers Point and Leniz Point. The name was first applied by whalers operating in the vicinity and was in use by 1920.
Lemaire Island is an island 4.5 nautical miles long and 1.5 nautical miles wide, lying 1 nautical mile west of Duthiers Point off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.
Bryde Island is an island 6 nautical miles long and 3 nautical miles wide, lying immediately southwest of Lemaire Island, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.

It lies 0.75 miles (1.21 km) to southwest of East Linga. The main island, also known as Rumble Holm, is 27 feet (8.2 m) high. Nearby and to the north are the Flaeshans of Rumble, a series of small islets and stacks and Burlastack of Rumble lies to the east. On the northern side of the main island is an inlet, known as the Voe of Rumble. Lobsters and prawns are said to shelter here. It is also mentioned that a ship named Griften of unknown nationality was shipwrecked either here or on the Holm of Sandwick in 1611.
Union Banks is a large drowned atoll in the center of Dangerous Ground in the Spratly Islands in South China Sea, 230 kilometres west of the Philippine coast, containing islands and reefs whose ownership remains disputed and controversial.
