James Ross Island is a large island off the southeast side and near the northeastern extremity of the Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by Prince Gustav Channel. Rising to 1,630 metres (5,350 ft), it is irregularly shaped and extends 64 km in a north–south direction. It was charted in October 1903 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, who named it for Sir James Clark Ross, the leader of a British expedition to this area in 1842 that discovered and roughly charted a number of points along the eastern side of the island. The style, "James" Ross Island is used to avoid confusion with the more widely known Ross Island in McMurdo Sound.

Hervéou Point is a point forming the western extremity of the rocky peninsula between Port Charcot and Salpetriere Bay, on the west side of Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica.

Labbé Rock is a rock lying about 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km) northwest of Largo Island in the Duroch Islands of Antarctica. The name was conferred by the first Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1947) for First Lieutenant Custodio Labbé Lippi, navigation officer of the transport ship Angamos.
Landmark Point is a rocky point lying 1 kilometre (0.5 nmi) southeast of Safety Island, on the coast of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions surveys and air photos, 1956–66, and was so named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia because it is almost due south from Auster Rookery and affords an excellent landmark if approaching the rookery along the coast from Mawson Station.
Lavallee Peak is a peak 2,175 metres (7,140 ft) high just northwest of Gibraltar Peak in the West Quartzite Range of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant David O.
