The Arctic Archipelago, also known as the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, is an archipelago lying to the north of the Canadian continental mainland, excluding Greenland and Iceland.
James Ross Island is a large island off the southeast side and near the northeastern extremity of the Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by Prince Gustav Channel. Rising to 1,630 metres (5,350 ft), it is irregularly shaped and extends 64 km in a north–south direction. It was charted in October 1903 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, who named it for Sir James Clark Ross, the leader of a British expedition to this area in 1842 that discovered and roughly charted a number of points along the eastern side of the island. The style, "James" Ross Island is used to avoid confusion with the more widely known Ross Island in McMurdo Sound.
The Candlemas Islands are a group of small uninhabited islands lying at the northern part of the South Sandwich Islands, 23 miles (37 km) southeast of Visokoi Island. They consist of Candlemas Island and Vindication Island, divided by Nelson Channel, and numerous rocks.
Port Lihou Island or Yeta is an island in the Torres Strait, in Queensland's north between the Australian mainland and Papua New Guinea. It lies off the south coast of Muralag, separated by a channel that is three kilometres long but only a few metres wide at the north-eastern end. It is approximately 2.8 by 2.8 km in size. The area is 3.97 square kilometres.
Hermetray is an uninhabited island off North Uist, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
Nelson Strait is the 9 km long and 9.8 km wide strait lying between Robert Island and Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The strait was explored by early 19th century sealers and first charted by Nathaniel Palmer in 1821. While it had a variety of different names in the past, the present name — probably taken from the adjacent Nelson Island — has become well established in international usage.
The borders of the oceans are the limits of Earth's oceanic waters. The definition and number of oceans can vary depending on the adopted criteria. The principal divisions of the five oceans are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern (Antarctic) Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. Smaller regions of the oceans are called seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and other terms. Geologically, an ocean is an area of oceanic crust covered by water.
Boot Rock is a rock, 30 metres (100 ft) high, which lies 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) off the southeast side of Candlemas Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was charted and named by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II in 1930.
Carbon Point is a headland just northwest of Clapmatch Point, near the southwest corner of Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands. The name derives from Punta Carbon used in Argentine hydrographic publications as early as 1953.
Cauldron Pool is a hot, brackish steaming pond located east of Tow Bay and below the west slopes of volcanically active Lucifer Hill, in northwest Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands. The descriptive name, suggestive of a cauldron, was applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971.
Clinker Gulch is a gulch extending from Lucifer Hill to the north shore of Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands. The name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 reflects the actively volcanic, sulphurous nature of the area, and the loose piles of lava debris, resembling furnace clinkers, which wall the gulch.
Demon Point is a spit of coarse boulders which forms the northeast tip of Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands. It was charted and named "Spit Point" by personnel of the RRS Discovery II in 1930, but that name was changed to avoid duplication. The new name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 continues a theme of features named after mythical monsters on this island.
Kraken Cove is the largest cove at Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands, indenting the north coast of the island, just west of Demon Point and north of Gorgon Pool. The name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 is that of a legendary Norwegian sea monster, the Kraken.
Tow Bay is a small bay 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) south of Vulcan Point on the west side of Candlemas Island, in the South Sandwich Islands. Charted and named in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery II.
Lucifer Hill is a reddish, cindery, sulphur-streaked hill forming the summit of the northern section of Candlemas Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was one of the most active volcanic vents in this island chain at the time of HMS Protector's survey in 1964. The name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Lucifer refers to the diabolical and infernal mythical association of active volcanoes. Clinker Gulch extends from Lucifer Hill to the northern shore of Candlemas.
Sarcophagus Point is a point at the southeast side of Sea Serpent Cove on the west coast of Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands. The point, with a spine of lava cliffs, almost cuts off Medusa Pool from the sea. It was referred to as "The Sarcophagus" on a sketch-survey of Sea Serpent Cove made by a boat party from RRS Discovery II in 1930.
Tomblin Rock is an isolated rock 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) east-southeast of Demon Point, Candlemas Island, in the South Sandwich Islands. It is 24 meters high. It is more than 50 meters long north–south, and about 23 meters wide. It has an area of less than 0.1 hectares.
Nelson Strait is a channel in the Chilean Archipelago. It is located in Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Region of Chilean Patagonia.
