Goff Glacier is a broad glacier flowing from Parker Peak into the head of Koether Inlet on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Lieutenant Robert G. Goff, co-pilot of PBM Mariner aircraft in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas, 1946–47.
Morrell Point is the northernmost point on the west coast of Thule Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 for Benjamin Morrell, a sealer of Stonington, Connecticut, who visited the island in the Wasp in 1823.
Longton Point is a feature of sheer high rock cliffs alternating with steep icefalls, forming the southeast corner of Cook Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Royce E. Longton, botanist of the survey of the South Sandwich Islands from HMS Protector in 1964.
McNeile Glacier is a glacier flowing northward along the east slopes of Klokotnitsa Ridge to the southeast side of Almond Point where it enters Charcot Bay just east of Borovan Knoll, on the west side of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was charted in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named for S.St.C. McNeile, a surveyor at the FIDS Hope Bay base in 1948–49.
Mount Hercules is a large, flat-topped, elevated feature between Mount Aeolus and Mount Jason in the Olympus Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (1958–59) for Hercules, a figure in Greek mythology.
Maurice Channel is a strait 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) wide between Bellingshausen Island and Cook Island, in the South Sandwich Islands off Antarctica. In 1820, Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen indirectly indicated the existence of the strait by describing Southern Thule as consisting of one high rock and three small islands. The strait was charted in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II and named for Henry Gascoyne Maurice, a member of the Discovery Committee.
Mahaffey Glacier is a glacier flowing into the head of Morgan Inlet at the east end of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after J.S. Mahaffey, a Photographer's Mate in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas in 1946–47.
Mount Holdgate is a prominent mountain, 960 metres (3,150 ft) high, with steep icefalls and rock buttresses which provides a clear landmark at the southeast end of Cook Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Martin W. Holdgate, organizer and senior scientist of the survey of the South Sandwich Islands from HMS Protector in 1964.
Horsburgh Point is a point, 3.4 nautical miles (6.3 km) northwest of Scarlett Point, on the southwest side of Montagu Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was charted in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II, who named it for H. Horsburgh, technical officer to the Discovery Committee.
Tilbrook Point is a conspicuous cliffs forming the northwest point of Cook Island, South Sandwich Islands. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Peter J. Tilbrook, zoologist of the survey of the South Sandwich Islands from HMS Protector in 1964.
Mount Rendu is a mountain between Reid Glacier and Heim Glacier on Arrowsmith Peninsula in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1948-59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Louis Rendu (1789–1859), French Bishop and scientist, author of Theorie des glaciers de la Savoie, an important book on the mechanism of glacier flow.
Mount Lupa is a flat-topped, ice-covered mountain, over 1,625 metres (5,330 ft) high, standing between Romulus Glacier and Martin Glacier close east-southeast of Black Thumb and 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of the head of Rymill Bay, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill. It was resurveyed in 1948–49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey who applied the name. This mountain lies near the heads of Romulus and Remus Glaciers, and the name derives from the mythological story of the she-wolf (Lupa) which fed the twins Romulus and Remus after they had been thrown into the Tiber.
Larsen Inlet is an inlet, formerly ice-filled, 12 nautical miles (22 km) long in a north–south direction and 7 nautical miles (13 km) wide, between Cape Longing and Cape Sobral along the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. Carl Anton Larsen, a Norwegian whaling captain, reported a large bay in this area in 1893, and Larsen's name was suggested for the feature by Edwin Swift Balch in 1902. The inlet was re-identified and charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947. Mount Brading lies 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of the northeast corner of Larsen Inlet.
Mount Larsen is a mountain, 710 metres (2,330 ft) high, situated in the east-central portion of Thule Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was charted in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II who named it for Captain C.A. Larsen.
