Austin Head is a headland 2 miles (3 km) north-northwest of Leon Head, projecting into Undine South Harbour on the south coast 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 Elijah Austin, a leading merchant of New Haven, Connecticut, USA, who sent out the first two American sealing vessels to South Georgia in 1790.
Tyrrell Glacier is a glacier flowing north into the head of Moraine Fjord where it joins Harker Glacier, on the north coast of South Georgia. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), 1982, in association with Harker Glacier, after George Walter Tyrrell (1883–1961), Senior Lecturer in geology, Glasgow University, 1919–48, author of several early papers on the petrology of South Georgia, the South Shetland Islands, and the Palmer Archipelago area.
Ducloz Head is a headland which forms the northwest side of the entrance to Undine South Harbour on the south coast of South Georgia. It was first charted in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, following a survey by the South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, for Le Sieur Ducloz Guyot, a passenger in the Spanish vessel León, which sighted South Georgia in 1756.
Hestesletten is a glacial plain between the Hamberg Lakes and Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. It is covered with tussock and is almost 2 miles (3.2 km) long in a northeast–southwest direction and 0.75 miles (1.2 km) wide. It is, along with Salisbury Plain, one of the few substantial flat areas on the island.
Hamberg Glacier is a glacier which flows in an east-northeasterly direction from the northeast side of Mount Sugartop to the west side of the head of Moraine Fjord, South Georgia. It was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld, who named it for Axel Hamberg, a Swedish geographer, mineralogist and Arctic explorer.
Harmer Glacier is a glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, flowing southwest from Starbuck Peak to the sea close north of Ranvik, on the south coast 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 Sir Sidney F. Harmer.
Arch Pond is a pond between Burnet Cove and Poa Cove, to the east of Maiviken, South Georgia. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee from the natural arch in the rocky point just west of the pond.
Bore Valley is a valley that is 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km) long in a north-south direction, extending from Lewis Pass to Grytviken in Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. It was first surveyed and named "Bores Dal" by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (SwedAE) under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04, but the form Bore Valley has since become established. The discovery by J. Gunnar Andersson, of the SwedAE, of numerous traces of a former ice covering, proving that ice had once filled the entire valley, led to the name. "Bore" is the Swedish word for Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind. Maidalen, to the north of Lewis Pass, was originally considered to be a part of Bore Valley but has since been determined to be a separate valley.
Burnet Cove is a cove 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) southwest of Mai Point, on the east side of Maiviken in Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. It was roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld; it was resurveyed in 1929 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. The name Burnet, given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, is the English name of a plant which is common in this vicinity.
Camp Peak is a peak rising to about 330 metres (1,080 ft) on the west side of Maiviken, northern Thatcher Peninsula, South Georgia. It was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1929 and so named because a camp was established on the shore below the peak.
Johannsen Loch is a cove 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km) long, lying 1 nautical mile (2 km) north of Ocean Harbour along the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears on a chart based upon surveys by Discovery Investigations personnel during the period 1926–30, but may reflect an earlier naming.
Poa Cove is a small cove 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) southwest of Mai Point in the southeast corner of Maiviken, Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. Roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Nordenskjold. Resurveyed in 1929 by DI personnel, and in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the genus Poa, which includes the tussock grass which grows in profusion near this cove.
The Hamberg Lakes are two adjoining lakes lying near the northern outlet of Hamberg Glacier, 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Moraine Fjord, Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. They were first surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld. The name derives from nearby Hamberg Glacier, and was given by A. Szielasko who explored this vicinity in 1906.
Humic Lake is a small relatively shallow lake located southeast of Burnet Cove on the east side of Maiviken, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee from the dark-stained water caused by humic acid derived from the leaching of decaying peat on nearby slopes.
Mai Point is a point marking the east side of the entrance to Maiviken, a small bay in Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. It was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskjöld. The name derives from association with Maiviken.
Maivatn is a lake near the head of Maiviken in northern Thatcher Peninsula, South Georgia. At 39 metres (128 ft), this feature is the largest and deepest of several small freshwater lakes in the Maiviken area. The lake was named Maivatn by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1990 in association with Maiviken.
Stenhouse Peak is a peak, 525 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west of Maiviken, Cumberland Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart.
Tortula Cove is a cove close south of Mai Point, on the east side of Maiviken in Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. Roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Nordenskjold. Resurveyed in 1929 by DI personnel, and in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the moss which grows in this vicinity.
Lancetes Lake is a small lake near the head of Maiviken, in the northern part of Thatcher Peninsula, South Georgia. The lake has a rich benthic flora of algae and mosses, which support a large population of the only water beetle seen in the sub-Antarctic, Lancetes clausii, from which the feature takes its name. The lake was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1991.
