Mount Terror is a large shield volcano that forms the eastern part of Ross Island, Antarctica. It has numerous cinder cones and domes on the flanks of the shield and is mostly under snow and ice. It is the second largest of the four volcanoes which make up Ross Island and is somewhat overshadowed by its neighbor, Mount Erebus, 30 km (19 mi) to the west. Mt. Terror was named in 1841 by Sir James Clark Ross for his second ship, HMS Terror. The captain of Terror was Captain Francis Crozier who was a close friend of Ross.
Andreaea Plateau is a small plateau with an average elevation of 180 metres (590 ft), located southwest of Robin Peak, Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The feature is notable for the largest known stand in the Antarctic of the black-brown moss Andreaea.
The Billie Rocks are a group of rocks 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) northeast of Drying Point, lying in Borge Bay along the east side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The name "Billie Rock", for the easternmost rock of the group, appeared on a chart based upon a 1927 sketch survey of Borge Bay by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery. The name has since been extended to include the entire group.
Cam Rock is a rock lying east of Waterpipe Beach and north-northwest of Billie Rocks in Borge Bay, Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The rock is low and ice worn and is not normally covered at high water. It was roughly surveyed by Discovery Investigations in 1927 and named descriptively, after its supposed resemblance to a cam.
Coldblow Col is a snow-covered col at 300 metres (1,000 ft) elevation, between Echo Mountain and the Cragsman Peaks on Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was surveyed in 1950 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name derives from the fact that a FIDS party had their tent blown down in a gale when camped on this col in September 1948.
Jensen Ridge is a curving ridge running eastward from Foca Point toward Jane Col on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was named in 1991 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Captain Gullik Jensen, of the whaling ship Strombus from Tønsberg, Norway, who made the last whaling expedition to Signy Island in 1935–36.
The Jebsen Rocks are a chain of rocks which extend 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) in an east–west direction, lying 0.5 nautical miles north of Jebsen Point, off the west side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. They were charted by Captain Petter Sorlle, a Norwegian whaler who made a running survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–13. The rocks are named in association with Jebsen Point.
Deschampsia Point is a point on the northwest side of Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) northeast of the Spindrift Rocks. It was descriptively named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1991, following British Antarctic Survey ecological research, after the Antarctic hair grass Deschampsia antarctica, which grows on the slopes near the point.
Paternoster Valley is a valley extending southwestward from Stygian Cove in northern Signy Island. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) from the occurrence of three small paternoster lakes, including Changing Lake, at different levels in the valley.
The Moss Braes are west-facing slopes (braes) situated west of Robin Peak on Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1990 from the extensive moss banks on the dissected rocky slopes.
Heywood Lake is the northernmost lake in Three Lakes Valley in northeastern Signy Island, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Ronald B. Heywood, a limnologist with the Life Sciences Division of the British Antarctic Survey, who worked on Signy Island in 1962–63 and 1970–71.
Schneider Peak is a peak rising to about 1,300 m near the head of Rankin Glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km) west-southwest of Mount Geier, Schirmacher Massif, on the Black Coast of Palmer Land. The peak was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1966–69, and was visited by a joint USGS-BAS geological party, 1986-87. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1988 after David L. Schneider, cartographer, USGS, a member of the USGS satellite surveying team at Australia's Casey Station, winter party 1974. While assigned to the Law Dome ice-drilling team during March 1974, Schneider assisted in the rescue of three Australian co-workers whose Nodwell snow traverse vehicle had fallen into a deep crevasse.
Skua Terrace is a terrace in the northwest part of Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, extending north-south from the vicinity of Spindrift Rocks to the vicinity of Express Cove. Named in 1980 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) from the numerous pairs of brown skuas nesting in the area.
Sombre Lake is the northernmost lake in Paternoster Valley in northern Signy Island. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because of the sombre setting of the lake and the proximity of Stygian Cove.
Springtail Spur is a spur rising to 170 m at the southwest end of Andreaea Plateau, on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following British Antarctic Survey (BAS) ecological work from the springtail insects that are abundant beneath stones and in the sparse vegetation of the spur.
Tern Cove is a small cove, the entrance to which is blocked by submerged rocks, lying immediately southeast of Berry Head in the north part of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The cove contains three small islands, and an area near the head dries at low water. Roughly charted in 1933 by DI personnel. Named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), following their survey of 1947, for the colony of terns on the southernmost island in the cove.
Robin Peak is a sharply defined rocky summit which is the northernmost peak on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 for Gordon de Quetteville Robin of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), the leader at Signy Island base in 1947, who made the first detailed survey of the island.
Limestone Valley is a valley extending northwest from Cemetery Bay, Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The valley leads directly to Jane Col and serves as a route to the west coast of the island. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because of an exposure of limestone in the cliff above the valley.
