Herbert Sound is a sound in Antarctica extending from Cape Lachman and Keltie Head on the northwest to the narrows between The Naze and False Island Point on the southeast, separating Vega Island from James Ross Island and connecting Prince Gustav Channel with Erebus and Terror Gulf. On January 6, 1843 Captain James Clark Ross discovered a broad embayment east of the sound, which he named "Sidney Herbert Bay" after Sidney Herbert, First Secretary to the Admiralty. The sound proper was discovered and charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld, who included it with the broad embayment under the name "Sidney Herbert Sound". The recommended application restricts Herbert Sound to the area west of the narrows between The Naze and False Island Point; the embayment discovered by Ross forms the western margin of Erebus and Terror Gulf.
Campbell Valley is an ice-filled valley, or pass, extending east-west between the main group of peaks of the Crary Mountains and Boyd Ridge, in Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Wallace H. Campbell, ionospheric physicist at McMurdo Station in the 1964–65 season, and at Macquarie Island, 1961–62.
Confusion Island is an island 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) long at the west side of the entrance to Clowes Bay, off the south side of Signy Island.
Kuno Cirque is a glacier-filled cirque between Glen Glacier and Murchison Cirque on the south side of the Read Mountains, Shackleton Range, Antarctica. The feature was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1968–71. In association with the names of geologists grouped in this area, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 after Professor Hisashi Kuno (1910–69), a Japanese petrologist who worked on basaltic magmas.
Grey Island is 1 km (0.62 mi) south of Michelsen Island and 2 km (1.2 mi) west of the southern part of Fredriksen Island, in the South Orkney Islands of Antarctica. It was first charted and named Holmen Graa on a map by the Norwegian whaler Captain Petter Sorlle, who made a running survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–13. The anglicised form appears on the chart by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II who surveyed the islands in 1933.
Dobrowolski Island is a small island which lies close to the east coast of Anvers Island, 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Ryswyck Point, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was charted in 1927 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery, who gave the name "Astrolabe Island". To avoid duplication, the name was changed in 1958 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, and the island is now named after Antoni B. Dobrowolski, assistant meteorologist of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition which explored this area in 1898.
Pomona Plateau is an ice-covered plateau, over 300 metres (980 ft) elevation, extending between Sandefjord Peaks and Deacon Hill in the western part of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948–50. This naming revives in an altered form a name given by James Weddell in 1822. Being unaware of the prior discovery of Coronation Island by Captain Nathaniel Palmer and Captain George Powell, and its naming at that time, Weddell renamed the island "Pomona" or "Mainland" after the island in the northern Orkney Islands. That name was published by Weddell in 1825 but did not survive.
The Flensing Islands are a group of small islands lying 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Foca Point on the west side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The islands were named "Flenserne" on a chart of 1912–13 by Norwegian whaling captain Petter Sorlle. The name Flensing Islands, suggested by the earlier Norwegian name, was used by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II who surveyed the group in 1933. Flensing is the process of stripping skin and blubber from whales.
Foca Point is a rocky point forming the south side of the entrance to Express Cove on the west side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was surveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the whale catcher Foca, belonging to the Compañía Argentina de Pesca, which visited the South Orkney Islands in December 1926.
Gerd Island is an island 1 nautical mile (2 km) west-southwest of Stene Point at the east side of the entrance to Norway Bight, off the south coast of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted and named by Norwegian whaling captain Petter Sorlle, who made a running survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–13.
Moyes Point is a point in the southwest part of Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, forming the east side of the southeast entrance to Fyr Channel. First charted in 1933 by DI personnel on the Discovery II. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1956-58 and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 for William Moyes, British government representative at Signy Island in 1912-13.
Cape Hansen is a cape which separates Marshall Bay and Iceberg Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. The name appears on a chart based upon a running survey of the islands in 1912–13 by Petter Sørlle, a Norwegian whaling captain.
Howkins Inlet is an ice-filled inlet which recedes southwest for 6 nautical miles (11 km) between Cape Brooks and Lamb Point, along the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service. During 1947 it was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition under Finn Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. The inlet was named by the FIDS for Gordon Howkins, a meteorologist with the FIDS base at Deception Island in 1944–45.
Hydrurga Cove is a cove on the southwest side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands, opening on Fyr Channel. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the leopard seals, Hydrurga leptonyx, that commonly frequent the cove.
Maling Peak is a mountain 430 metres (1,400 ft) high and is the southernmost of two conspicuous peaks 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) northwest of Cape Vik on the south coast of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. It was roughly surveyed in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Derek H. Maling, a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey meteorologist at Signy Island in 1948 and 1949, who made a survey triangulation of Signy Island and the south coast of Coronation Island.
Tønsberg Cove is a cove 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southeast of Penguin Point on the north coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted in 1912-13 by Petter Sørlle, a Norwegian whaling captain and named after the Tønsberg Hvalfangeri, of Tønsberg, Norway, a company which operated a permanent whaling base in the South Orkney Islands in the period 1920-30.
Thulla Point is an ice-free point lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of Jebsen Point on the west coast of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Roughly surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and surveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 for the Norwegian steamship Thulla, which searched for suitable anchorages for whale factory ships in the South Orkney Islands in 1911-12.
Lynch Island is an island lying in the eastern part of Marshall Bay, close off the south coast of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica.
Cape Vik is a cape marking the west side of the entrance to Marshall Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The cape appears to be first shown and named on a chart made by the Norwegian whaler Captain Petter Sorlle in 1912-13.
Vázquez Island is an island lying between Fridtjof and Bob islands, off the southeast side of Wiencke Island in the Palmer Archipelago. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under J.B. Charcot, 1903-05. The name appears on an Argentine government chart of 1950.
