Mount Normann is a mountain, 1,240 m (4061 ft), standing 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Smaaland Cove at the south end of South Georgia. The feature has appeared on charts since the 1930s. It was surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Wilhelm Normann (1870-1939), German chemist, whose work led to the introduction in about 1907 of the hydrogenation process for hardening whale oil.
Fortuna Bay is a bay 3 miles (5 km) long and 1 mile (1.6 km) wide. Its entrance is defined by Cape Best on the west and Robertson Point to the east, near Atherton Peak on the north coast of South Georgia. It was named after the Fortuna, one of the ships of the Norwegian–Argentine whaling expedition under C.A. Larsen which participated in establishing the first permanent whaling station at Grytviken, South Georgia, in 1904–05. The Second German Antarctic Expedition (SGAE) under Wilhelm Filchner explored Fortuna Bay in 1911–12. Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel charted the area during their 1929–30 expedition.

Elsehul is a bay along the north coast of South Georgia Island in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Elsehul is approximately 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide, and is separated from nearby Undine Harbour by the narrow Survey Isthmus. The name "Elsehul" dates back to the period 1905–12 and was probably applied by Norwegian sealers and whalers working in the area. A shoal known as Fairway Patch, first labelled as such on a 1931 British Admiralty chart, lies in the entrance of the bay.
Esbensen Bay is a small bay 1 nautical mile (2 km) southwest of Nattriss Head, along the southeast end of South Georgia. It was charted by the Second German Antarctic Expedition, 1911–12, under Filchner, and was named for Captain Viktor Esbensen, manager of the Compañía Argentina de Pesca whaling station at Grytviken, the first land-based whaling station in Antarctica.
Windy Cove is a small bay entered 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) southeast of Antarctic Point on the north coast of South Georgia. The bay was named Whatahope Bay, probably by DI personnel who charted this coast in 1929, but is known locally as Windy Cove. It is probable that this latter name, originally given by DI personnel in 1929 to the next bay to the northwest, was erroneously transferred to this feature. Since Whatahope Bay is unknown locally, the name Windy Cove as applied to this feature is approved.
Ample Bay, is a bay 1.8 nautical miles (3.3 km) wide, marked by Grace Glacier at its head, situated 2 nautical miles (4 km) east of Sunset Fjord in the southwest part of the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. A sketch of this bay was made in 1912–13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, an American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy. It was charted and named descriptively by Discovery Investigations in 1929–30.
Barracouta Rock is a submerged rock lying 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) south of the entrance to Jordan Cove, Bird Island, off the west end of South Georgia. It was first charted by personnel on HMS Owen in 1961, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for one of Owen's survey motor boats.
Olav Rocks is a small group of rocks lying 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) east-southeast of Cape Crewe off the north coast of South Georgia. Charted by DI personnel during the period 1927-30, and so named because the rocks serve as a guide to vessels entering Prince Olav Harbor. The incorrect spelling, "Prince Olaf Rocks," appearing on the charts by DI personnel has been corrected. A shortened form of the original name is approved.
Cobblers Cove is a small cove which provides an anchorage 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) west of the entrance to Godthul, along the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted and named Pleasant Cove by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1929, but that name is not known locally. The South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, reported that this feature is known to whalers and sealers as "Skomaker Hullet", because it was first entered in thick fog by a Norwegian gunner who had once been a cobbler. An English form of this name has been approved.
The Cornwall Peaks are two conspicuous rock peaks, the higher reaching 960 metres (3,150 ft), standing at the west side of König Glacier, 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) southwest of Fortuna Bay, South Georgia. The name Cornwall Peak was probably given by Discovery Investigations personnel during their survey of Fortuna Bay in 1929. During the South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, this peak could not be re-identified. At the same time it was reported that the features now described, although lying farther south, together form a conspicuous landmark requiring a name. The name Cornwall Peaks was recommended for these peaks by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954, and the name "Cornwall Peak" (singular) has been eliminated.
Daisy Point is a headland extending seaward from the high rocky shore on the east side of the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. It lies 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) west of Cape Wilson, near the entrance to Beckmann Fjord. The name Low Point was given for this feature, probably by Discovery Investigations personnel who charted this area in 1929. Following its survey in 1951–52, the South Georgia Survey reported that this part of the coast is high and rugged, and the point, though relatively low by comparison, does not merit the description "low." The new name, recommended by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954, is after the sealing brig Daisy of New Bedford, Massachusetts, which under Captain Benjamin D. Cleveland visited the Bay of Isles in 1912–13.
Poa Cove is a small cove 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) southwest of Mai Point in the southeast corner of Maiviken, Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. Roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Nordenskjold. Resurveyed in 1929 by DI personnel, and in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the genus Poa, which includes the tussock grass which grows in profusion near this cove.
Papua Beach is a beach 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long on the southeast shore of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. The name derives from "Papua Cove," now an obsolete name, applied for a minor recession of the shore of this beach by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Nordenskjold, 1901–04, because a colony of gentoo penguins was found there. The cove was called "Pinguinbucht" on a 1907 chart by A. Szielasko, and the form Penguin Bay appears on some later charts. Following this survey in 1951-52, the SGS reported that the beach now described, rather than the cove or bay, is the significant feature for which a name is required.
Little Jason Lagoon is an almost circular lagoon, 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) in diameter, lying at the head of Jason Harbour to which it is connected by a narrow cut, in Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. The name "Little Jason" was in use at South Georgia prior to 1920. The feature was surveyed in 1929 by Discovery Investigations personnel, who named it "Nogood Lagoon" because a motor boat could not get through the entrance. The South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, reported that the feature is known locally as Little Jason or "Lille Jason". The name Little Jason Lagoon was approved in order to indicate the nature of the feature, and at the same time to conform with local usage.
Tweeny Point is a point lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southwest of Doubtful Point in Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. The name appears to be first used on a 1929 British Admiralty chart.
Skontorp Cove is a cove in Paradise Harbor, lying 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of Bryde Island along the west coast of Graham Land. Named for Edvard Skontorp, an outstanding Norwegian whale gunner, who commanded a whaler for Salvesen and Co. of Leith, Scotland.
Tornquist Bay is a small bay between Cape Constance and Antarctic Point along the north coast of South Georgia. Charted in 1929-30 by DI personnel, who called it Windy Cove, because of strong gusts of wind experienced there, but the name Windy Hole was subsequently used on charts for the bay. Following a survey of South Georgia in 1951-52, the SGS reported that this feature is known to the whalers and sealers as Tornquist Bay, because the wreck of the Cape Constance on October 16, 1950, lies near its west shore. This latter name is approved on the basis of local usage; the name Windy Hole is never used locally. The name Windy Cove, originally applied to this bay, has been transferred in local usage to the bay immediately southeast of Antarctic Point and it has since become established there.
Rumbolds Point is a point which marks the east side of the entrance to Doubtful Bay at the southeast end of South Georgia. The name appears on a chart based upon surveys of this area in 1930 by DI personnel, but may reflect an earlier naming.
