Webb Island is a rocky island in Antarctica, 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long, lying in Laubeuf Fjord about 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of the entrance to Stonehouse Bay, close to Adelaide Island. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean Baptiste Charcot, 1908–10, and named by him for Captain Richard C. Webb of the Royal Navy, commanding officer of an English cruiser in Argentine waters at that time.
Cox Reef is a group of drying rocks lying northwest of Box Reef off the south end of Adelaide Island. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963 for Able Seaman Edward F. Cox, a member of the Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit which first charted this feature in 1963.

Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1946–59.

The Pearl Rocks are a group of rocks covering an area 6 km (3.7 mi) by 4 km (2.5 mi) close off the west coast of Tower Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. The name was given by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1955–57) and is descriptive of the numerous snow-covered rocks in the group.
The Glover Rocks are a group of rocks lying northwest of Avian Island, off the south end of Adelaide Island, Antarctica. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for John F. Glover, 3rd Engineer of RRS John Biscoe (1962–63), the ship assisting the Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit which charted the feature in 1963.
Milestone Bluff is a rock-faced, snow-backed bluff rising to about 830 metres (2,720 ft) just west-southwest of Mount Liotard, in the south part of Adelaide Island, Antarctica. it was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1964 because the bluff is an important landmark on the inland route north of Adelaide station.
The Lorn Rocks are a group of rocks lying 12 nautical miles (22 km) west of the north end of Lahille Island, in the Biscoe Islands of Antarctica. They were mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and were so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the rocks are small, forlorn and deserted.
Kjellberg Peak is a small rock peak at the head of Frostlendet Valley, about 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Ryvingen Peak, in the southern part of the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named for Sigvard Kjellberg, a photographer with the Norwegian air unit of the expedition.
Torckler Rocks are three small islands lying at the north side of the entrance to Heidemann Bay, Vestfold Hills. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. Remapped from ANARE air photos and named for R.M. Torckler, radio officer at Davis Station in 1959.
Relay Hills is a group of low, ice-covered hills, mainly conical in shape, between Mount Edgell and Kinnear Mountains in western Antarctic Peninsula. First roughly surveyed from the ground by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1936–37. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), November 1947. Resurveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), November 1958. The name, applied by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), arose because both the BGLE and the FIDS sledging parties had to relay their loads through this area to the head of Prospect Glacier.
Lamina Peak is a prominent pyramid-shaped peak, 1,280 metres (4,200 ft) high, surmounting a stratified ridge which curves down from Mount Edred northeastward toward George VI Sound. The peak stands 4.5 nautical miles (8 km) inland from the east coast of Alexander Island near the southern limit of the Douglas Range. It was first photographed from the air on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. It was roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition and resurveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and was so named by the FIDS because of the marked horizontal stratification of the rocks of this peak.
Launch Rock is a submerged rock lying southwest of the Glover Rocks, off the south end of Adelaide Island, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee to commemorate the unnamed launch from RRS John Biscoe that was used by the Hydrographic Survey Unit which charted this area in 1963.
