Mount Wilcox is a mountain with a sharp, rocky, triangular peak surmounting the southeast corner of Square Bay, 13 kilometres (8 mi) east of Camp Point on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The mountain was apparently first seen and roughly charted in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot. It was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill and was photographed from the air in 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS). The name, proposed by Colonel Lawrence Martin, is for Phineas Wilcox, mate on the Hero, in which Captain Nathaniel Palmer explored the Antarctic mainland south of Deception Island in 1820.
Shambles Glacier is a steep glacier 4 miles long and 6 miles wide, with very prominent hummocks and crevasses, flowing east between Mount Bouvier and Mount Mangin into Stonehouse Bay on the east side of Adelaide Island. It is the island's largest glacier, and provides an eastern outlet from the giant Fuchs Ice Piedmont which covers the entire western two-thirds of the island. In doing so, Shambles Glacier provides the largest 'gap' in Adelaide Island's north-south running mountain chain.
Sharp Glacier is a glacier flowing north to the head of Lallemand Fjord, close east of the Boyle Mountains, in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1948-59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Robert P. Sharp, American geologist who has undertaken numerous studies on glaciers and their flow.
Yaglou Point is the northern point of Belding Island, Biscoe Islands. Mapped from air photos taken by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956–57). Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Constantin P. Yaglou, American physiologist who has specialized in the reactions of the human body to cold environments.
Safety Col is a snow-covered col, 185 m high, between Red Rock Ridge and the Blackwall Mountains, on the west coast of Graham Land. First surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948-49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and so named by them because the col affords a safe sledging route between Neny Fjord and Rymill Bay when there is open water off the west end of Red Rock Ridge.
Aitkenhead Glacier is a 10-mile (16 km) long glacier flowing east-southeast from the Detroit Plateau, Graham Land, into Prince Gustav Channel. It was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960–61), and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Neil Aitkenhead, a FIDS geologist at Hope Bay (1959–60).
Ashton Glacier is a glacier 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, which flows east-southeast from Mount Thompson to the northwest side of Lehrke Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land. The glacier was photographed from the air in December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), and was probably seen by the USAS ground survey party which explored this coast. A joint party consisting of members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted the glacier in 1947. It was named by the FIDS for L. Ashton, a carpenter with the FIDS at the Port Lockroy and Hope Bay bases in 1944–45 and 1945–46, respectively.
Bottrill Head is a rugged headland on the east side of Bourgeois Fjord which forms the southwest extremity of German Peninsula and the north side of the entrance to Dogs Leg Fjord in Fallières Coast, on the west side of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill. The headland was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who named it for Harold Bottrill, Chairman of the Board of Directors, later General Manager, of Maclean and Stapledon S.A., shipping agents at Montevideo, who gave great assistance to the BGLE, 1934–37, and to FIDS, 1943–48.
Centurion Glacier is a small steep glacier flowing northwest to Neny Bay between Mount Nemesis and Roman Four Promontory, on the west coast of Graham Land. It was first roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under Rymill, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name, given by FIDS, derives from association with Roman Four Promontory.
Norseman Point is an easternmost point of Neny Island, lying in Marguerite Bay off the west coast of Graham Land. First surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) after the Norseman airplane which landed near the point to relieve the FIDS party on Stonington Island in February 1950.
Swithinbank Glacier is a glacier on the west side of Hemimont Plateau flowing north to the southeast corner of Square Bay, in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1946-59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Charles Swithinbank, British glaciologist, a participant in several British, New Zealand and American expeditions to Antarctica, 1949-62.
Store Point is a northernmost point of Neny Island, lying in Marguerite Bay off the west coast of Graham Land. Surveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it because FIDS maintained an emergency food store on this point.
Punchbowl Glacier is a glacier that flows southwards between Poibrene Heights and Metlichina Ridge, and enters the north end of Exasperation Inlet, north of Jorum Glacier, on the east side of Graham Land, Antarctica. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947 and 1955. The name applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) is descriptive of shape as the glacier is hemmed in by mountains.
Pesce Peninsula is a broad snow-covered peninsula lying between Rameau Inlet and Verdi Inlet on the north side of the Beethoven Peninsula, situated in the southwest portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. Dykeman Point is the main and only headland on Pesce Peninsula marking the northern extremity of the peninsula. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, and mapped from these photographs by D. Searle of Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1960. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Commander Victor L. Pesce, U.S. Navy, Commanding Officer, U.S. Navy Antarctic Development Squadron Six (VXE-6), from May 1980 to May 1981. Pesce Peninsula is one of the eight peninsulas of Alexander Island.
Eden Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, which flows in a southerly direction into the head of Cabinet Inlet, northwest of Lyttelton Ridge, on the east coast of Graham Land. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947. It was named by the FIDS for Rt. Hon. Robert Anthony Eden, M.P., then British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and member of the War Cabinet.
The Foote Islands are a small group of snow-capped islands and several rocks, lying 12 nautical miles (22 km) southeast of Cape Leblond, Lavoisier Island, in Crystal Sound. They were mapped from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–48) and surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1958–59). They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Brian L.H. Foote, a FIDS radio mechanic at Arthur Harbour (1957) and a surveyor at Detaille Island (1958), who made surveys of the Crystal Sound area.
Mount Metcalfe is a mountain at the south side of the head of McMorrin Glacier, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) south of Mount Wilcox, in Graham Land, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Robert J. Metcalfe, a British Antarctic Survey surveyor at Stonington Island, 1960–62, who surveyed the area in 1962.
Target Hill is a prominent hill which rises 1,010 m above the level of Larsen Ice Shelf. It stands 6 nautical miles (11 km) west of Mount Fritsche on the south flank of Leppard Glacier in eastern Graham Land. The hill was the most westerly point reached by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) survey party in 1955; it was visible to the party as a target upon which to steer from the summit of Richthofen Pass.
Ryan Peak is a peak 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) east of Penitent Peak on Horseshoe Island. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955-57. Named for Francis B. Ryan of FIDS, meteorologist at Horseshoe Island in 1956, who broke a leg in a climbing accident on this peak.
Anderson Glacier is a heavily crevassed glacier 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, flowing southeast into Cabinet Inlet between Cape Casey and Balder Point, on the east coast of Graham Land. It was charted by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in December 1947. It was named by FIDS for Sir John Anderson, M.P., Lord President of the Council and member of the British War Cabinet.
