Borchgrevink visited the area in February 1900 and first observed the seaward portion of the glacier.

Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveys, 1958-61. The name is descriptive, this being one of the most active glaciers on the island.
Johnson Cove is a cove entered between Pio Point and Pearson Point on the west side of Bird Island, off the west end of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used in a 1948 British Admiralty pilot.
Funk Glacier is a glacier flowing into the head of Nevsha Cove in Beascochea Bay to the south of Frölich Peak, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Casimir Funk, an American biochemist who, while working at the Lister Institute in London in 1912, originated the theory of vitamins.
Emerald Cove is a cove 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, lying between North Foreland and Brimstone Peak on the north coast of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name "Shireff's Cove" was given by William Smith in 1819, after Captain William H. Shirreff of the Royal Navy, to whom he reported his discovery of the South Shetland Islands. In 1820, Smith's description of his landing on North Foreland was confused with his description of features on northern Livingston Island, and the name was applied to a feature on that island, where it has been officially accepted. The name "Emerald Cove" was applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 and is for the brig Emerald from Boston, MA, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820–21 in company with the Esther. These two vessels rescued the crew of the Venus from Esther Harbour in March 1821.

Hubley, a member of the Technical Panel on Glaciology in the U.S. National Committee for the International Geophysical Year.
Kennedy Cove is a cove in Wylie Bay, Antarctica, located north of Loudwater Cove. It was named for Henry Kennedy, who was Deputy Director of the Peninsula System for Antarctic Services, and also worked for Antarctic Support Associates.

Kerick Col is a col running north–south at 150 metres (500 ft) between Gin Cove and Rum Cove, in the western part of James Ross Island, Antarctica. Crisscross Crags rise at the east side of the col.
