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.
The Java Sea is an extensive shallow sea on the Sunda Shelf, between the Indonesian islands of Borneo to the north, Java to the south, Sumatra to the west, and Sulawesi to the east. Karimata Strait to its northwest links it to the South China Sea. It is a part of the western Pacific Ocean.
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.
Jenkins Glacier is a glacier close south of Risting Glacier, flowing east into the head of Drygalski Fjord in the southeastern part of South Georgia. The glacier was named for Erich von Drygalski by the Second German Antarctic Expedition, 1911–12, under Wilhelm Filchner. To avoid duplication with Drygalski Glacier in Graham Land, also named for Erich von Drygalski, a new name was proposed in 1957 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee. Jenkins Glacier is named for James Travis Jenkins, author of A History of the Whale Fisheries and Bibliography of Whaling.
Andreassen Point is a low ice-free point in northern James Ross Island, fronting on Herbert Sound, 8 nautical miles (15 km) south of Cape Lachman. Probably first seen by Otto Nordenskiöld in 1903, it was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1945, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for F.L. Andreassen, first mate on the Antarctic, the ship of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04.
Braces Point is the northeast point of Vindication Island, South Sandwich Islands. The feature was named Low Point during the survey from RRS Discovery II in 1930, but the name was changed to avoid duplication. The new name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 refers to the bifid form of this point, reaching out to the nearby sea stack of Trousers Rock.
The Brothers Rocks are a group of rocks surrounded by foul ground lying 1 nautical mile (2 km) east of the north part of Saunders Island in the South Sandwich Islands. They were charted and named in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RSS Discovery II.
Chinstrap Point is the southeast point of Vindication Island, South Sandwich Islands. This feature was named Rocky Point during a survey of the island from RRS Discovery II in 1930, but the name was changed to avoid duplication. The new name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 refers to the enormous colony of chinstrap penguins on the point.
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.
Widdowson Glacier is a glacier situated between Drummond and McCance Glaciers and flowing into Darbel Bay south of Sokol Point, on the west coast of Graham Land.
Crosscut Point is a series of jagged rocks forming the north end of Vindication Island in the South Sandwich Islands. It was charted in 1930 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II, and so named because numerous crosscutting dikes have withstood weathering and produced this irregular formation.
Swift Glacier is a steep glacier about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long, close west of Jefford Point, James Ross Island. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveys, 1958–61. The name is descriptive, this being one of the most active glaciers on the island.
Emerald Cove is a cove 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, lying between North Foreland and Brimstone Peak on the north coast of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name "Shireff's Cove" was given by William Smith in 1819, after Captain William H. Shirreff of the Royal Navy, to whom he reported his discovery of the South Shetland Islands. In 1820, Smith's description of his landing on North Foreland was confused with his description of features on northern Livingston Island, and the name was applied to a feature on that island, where it has been officially accepted. The name "Emerald Cove" was applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 and is for the brig Emerald from Boston, MA, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820–21 in company with the Esther. These two vessels rescued the crew of the Venus from Esther Harbour in March 1821.
Fitton Rock is a flat-topped rock lying southeast of Cape Alexandra, off the south end of Adelaide Island. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963 for Gordon F. Fitton, a British Antarctic Survey general assistant at Adelaide Station, 1961–62, and a member of the first party to winter on Adelaide Island.
Glen Peak is a peak on the north end of Liard Island in Hanusse Bay, Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–48) and the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57). It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for John W. Glen, a British physicist who has made laboratory investigations on the flow of single and polycrystalline ice.
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.
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.
Leafvein Gulch is a valley 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) long with intensely gullied flanks, draining the northeastern part of Vindication Island in the South Sandwich Islands. Its lower end lies southwest of Braces Point on the east coast of the island. The name, applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971, derives from the pattern of the gullies which recall the radiating veins of a leaf.
