Laws Glacier is a confluent glacier system which flows into Marshall Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was surveyed in 1948–49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Richard M. Laws of the FIDS, leader and biologist at Signy Research Station in 1948 and 1949, and at South Georgia in 1951.
Usnea Ridge is a ridge at an elevation of 100–160 m, extending north-northwest from Jane Peak to Spindrift Col in central Signy Island, South Orkney Islands. This ridge was an ecological study site for British Antarctic Survey (BAS) biologists. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1991 after lichens of the genus Usnea, which form a main element of the plant life on the ridge.
Orwell Glacier is a small glacier, less than 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) long, which descends steeply from the south slopes of Snow Hills and terminates in 20 m ice cliffs along the south margin of Elephant Flats in the east part of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Surveyed by DI personnel in 1927 and named by them for the Norwegian transport throughout the seasons 1925-26 to 1929-30. Resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947.
The Cragsman Peaks are peaks on the west side of Marshall Bay, extending from Cape Vik northwest to Coldblow Col on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. They were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1956–58 and so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the peaks provide a "climbers' paradise."
The John Peaks are prominent snow-covered peaks, 415 metres (1,360 ft) high, at the southern end of Coronation Island and east of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. They were probably first sighted by Captain George Powell and Captain Nathaniel Palmer, who discovered these islands in December 1821. The peaks were charted in 1933 by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II who named them for D.D. John, a member of the zoological staff of the Discovery Committee.
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.
Port Jebsen is a cove immediately north of Jebsen Point on the west side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It was charted in 191213 by Petter Sorlle, a Norwegian whaling captain. The cove is named in association with Jebsen Point.
Jebsen Point is a point at the south side of Port Jebsen on the west side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The name appears on a map based upon a running survey of these islands by Captain Petter Sorlle in 1912–13.
Jane Col is a col to the west of Jane Peak at the head of Limestone Valley on Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was named in association with Jane Peak by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee.
The Fulmar Crags are crags surmounting East Cape, the northeastern extremity of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands. The name arose from the Antarctic fulmars which breed on these crags and was given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following a 1956–58 survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey.
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.
The Divide Peaks are a series of ice-topped peaks, the highest at 640 metres (2,100 ft), rising from the southeast end of Coronation Island and extending for 2 nautical miles (4 km) in a northwesterly direction, in the South Orkney Islands. They were surveyed in 1948–49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1956–58, and named in association with The Divide.
Polynesia Point is an ice-free point forming the north side of the entrance to Paal Harbour on the east side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 for the floating factory Polynesia, of the Rethval Whaling Co. of Oslo, which worked in the South Orkney Islands in 1913-14.
Moider Glacier is a glacier flowing west into the east side of Dalgliesh Bay, Pourquoi Pas Island, in Marguerite Bay, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1979 in association with nearby Perplex Ridge; the word "moider" can be a synonym for "perplex".
McLeod Glacier is a glacier 1 nautical mile (2 km) long, flowing in a southeasterly direction into Clowes Bay on the south side of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954 for Michael McLeod, following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947. On December 12, 1821, the cutter Beaufoy under McLeod sailed to a position at least 60 nautical miles (110 km) west of the South Orkney Islands, where a chart annotation indicates that land was sighted, possibly Coronation Island.
Meier Point is a point forming the west side of the entrance to Norway Bight on the south side of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. It was named on a chart by Captain Petter Sørlle, a Norwegian whaler who made a running survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–13. The Gosling Islands lie close to this point.
Thomson Point is a point on the east side of Pirie Peninsula, 1.7 nautical miles (3.1 km) southeast of Cape Mabel, on the north coast of Laurie Island in the South Orkney Islands. Charted in 1903 by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition under William Speirs Bruce, who named it for J.A. Thomson, regius professor of natural history, University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Thulla Point is an ice-free point lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of Jebsen Point on the west coast of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Roughly surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and surveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 for the Norwegian steamship Thulla, which searched for suitable anchorages for whale factory ships in the South Orkney Islands in 1911-12.
Richard Point is the south entrance point to Williams Haven, situated 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) southwest of North Point, Signy Island, South Orkney Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1990 for Kenneth J. Richard, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) terrestrial biological technician, Signy Station, from 1978.
Ross Peaks is a series of elevations rising to about 450 m and trending NW-SE between Ferguslie Peninsula and Fitchie Bay in Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1987 after Alastair Ross, taxidermist on the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1902–04, led by W.S. Bruce.
