Alexandra Mountains is a group of low, separated mountains in the north portion of Edward VII Peninsula, just southwest of Sulzberger Bay in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. Discovered in January–February 1902 by the British National Antarctic Expedition during an exploratory cruise of the Discovery along the Ross Ice Shelf. Named for Alexandra, then Queen of the United Kingdom.
Jason Peak is a peak, 675 metres (2,215 ft) high, lying 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Jason Harbour on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart.
Harpon Bay is a bay 1 nautical mile (2 km) wide, lying just east of Mercer Bay in the south part of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. It was first mapped by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the cargo vessel Harpon, built in 1897, which had been used by the Compañía Argentina de Pesca, Grytviken, since 1922.
O'Connor Peak is a mountain peak, 675 m, standing west of Long Point on Barff Peninsula, South Georgia. Charted by a Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1927–28, and named Mount Bryde. Recharted by DI in 1929 and named after Midshipman W. P. O'Connor, Royal Navy Reserve, who assisted with the survey.
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.
Hodges Glacier is a small glacier 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Grytviken, South Georgia, flowing from the south side of Petrel Peak to the foot of Mount Hodges. The name was recommended by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee and derives from association with Mount Hodges.
Kjerulf Glacier, Norwegian: Kjerulfbreen, is a glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long flowing west from Mount Sugartop to the east side of Newark Bay, on the south coast of South Georgia. It was mapped by Olaf Holtedahl during his visit to South Georgia in 1927–28, and named by him for Norwegian geologist Theodor Kjerulf, Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Christiania.
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.
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.
Cobblers Cove is a small cove which provides an anchorage 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) west of the entrance to Godthul, along the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted and named Pleasant Cove by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1929, but that name is not known locally. The South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, reported that this feature is known to whalers and sealers as "Skomaker Hullet", because it was first entered in thick fog by a Norwegian gunner who had once been a cobbler. An English form of this name has been approved.
Orca Peak is a peak, 395 m, standing west of Grytviken on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1930 British Admiralty chart.
Petrel Peak is a peak, 630 m, standing at the north side of Hodges Glacier, 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Grytviken, South Georgia. Surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57. The name was proposed by J. Smith of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1958, following glaciological investigations as part of the IGY. Petrel Peak is named for the whale-catcher Petrel, belonging to the Compania Argentina de Pesca at Grytviken, and for the snow petrels which nest on the higher rocks of the peak.
Mount Duse is a conspicuous mountain, 505 metres (1,660 ft) high, surmounting King Edward Point on the west side of Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. It was charted in 1902 by Lieutenant S.A. Duse, cartographer of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, for whom it is named.
Mercer Bay is a small bay marked by Geikie Glacier at its head, at the southwest end of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. The bay appears on a sketch map of Cumberland Bay by Lieutenant S.A. Duse of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, and is first used on a chart based upon survey work by Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel in 1926–30. It was probably named for Lieutenant Commander G.M. Mercer, Royal Naval Reserve, captain of the DI research ship William Scoresby, which engaged in whale marking and oceanographic work off South Georgia in 1926–27.
Headland Peak is a peak rising to 875 metres (2,870 ft) on the north side of Geikie Glacier, at the head of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Robert K. Headland, a British Antarctic Survey biological assistant at Grytviken, 1977–80 and 1981–82. He was curator of the Scott Polar Research Institute from 1987.
Mount Hodges is a mountain, 605 metres (1,985 ft) high, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Mount Duse, close northwest of the head of King Edward Cove, Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. It was first roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskjöld, appearing as "Moldaenke Berg" on a 1907 map by A. Szielasko, but the name has not survived on later general charts of this area. The name "Mount Hodges" appears to have been applied some years later and is now well established. It was probably named for Captain M.H. Hodges, Royal Navy, of the Sappho, who visited and mapped portions of Cumberland Bay in 1906.
