GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



of Cape Carr is based on correlation of Wilkes' 

 chart of 1840 with the US-ACAN reconnaissance 

 map of 1955, compiled from aerial photographs, 

 taking into account the relative southwestward 

 shift of Porpoise Bay from 1840 to the 1955 map 

 positions. 



CARREL, MOUNT: horseshoe-shaped mountain, 

 about 2,100 ft. in el., at the E. side of Depot Gl. 

 about 1.5 mi. S. of the head of Hope Bay, at the NE. 

 end of Palmer Pen.; in 63°26'S., 57°03'W. Disc, in 

 1903 by a party under J. Gunnar Andersson of the 

 SwedAE. Named by the FIDS in 1945 for Tom 

 Carrel, boatswain of the Eagle, a ship which par- 

 ticipated in establishing the FIDS Hope Bay base in 

 February 1945. 



Carrol Kettering, Mount: see Giles, Mount. 



CARROLL INLET: long narrow inlet lying SW. 

 of Cape Smyley and extending SE. for a distance 

 of 35 mi. into George Bryan Coast; in about 

 73°15'S., 79°00'W. The upper part of the inlet is 

 said to be divided into two arms by a long ice 

 tongue. Disc, from the air on Dec. 22, 1940 by 

 members of the USAS, who named it for Arthur J. 

 Carroll, chief photographer on the flights from 

 East Base. 



CARSE POINT: the W. extremity of a rock massif 

 with four peaks, the highest about 3,800 ft. in el., 

 standing at the S. side of the mouth of Riley Gl., 

 on Palmer Pen., and fronting on George VI Sound; 

 in 70°13'S., 68°13'W. It lies separated from Mt. 

 Dixey to the NE. by a low ice-filled col, and from 

 Mt. Flower to the E. by a small glacier. It appears 

 that the massif, of which this is the W. extremity, 

 was first photographed from the air on Nov. 23, 

 1935 by Lincoln Ellsworth, and mapped from these 

 photographs by W. L. G. Joerg. The point was 

 first surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill, 

 and later named for Verner D. Carse, member of 

 the BGLE, 1934-37. 



CASABIANCA ISLET: low, rocky islet lying in 

 Neumayer Chan, about 0.5 mi. NE. of Damoy Pt., 

 Wiencke I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 64°49'S., 

 63°32'W. Disc, by the FrAE under Charcot, 

 1903-5, who named it for Monsieur Casablanca, 

 then French Administrator of Naval Enlistment. 



Case, Point: see De la Motte, Cape. 



CASEY, CAPE: conspicuous cape, surmounted 

 by a peak about 2,500 ft. in el., marking the E. end 

 of the short peninsula projecting into Cabinet 

 Inlet immediately S. of Bevin Gl., on the E. coast 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 66°22'S., 63°35'W. Charted by 

 the FIDS and photographed from the air by the 

 RARE in 1947. Named by the FIDS for Rt. Hon. 



Richard G. Casey, Minister of State and Australian 

 member of the British War Cabinet. 



Casey Channel: see Casey Glacier. 



CASEY GLACIER: glacier about 6 mi. wide, 

 which flows E. to the E. coast of Palmer Pen. be- 

 tween Cape Walcott and Miller Pt.; in 69°00'S., 

 63°35'W. Disc, by Sir Hubert Wilkins on an aerial 

 flight of Dec. 20, 1928. Wilkins believed the 

 feature to be a channel cutting completely across 

 Palmer Pen., naming it Casey Channel after Rt. 

 Hon. Richard G. Casey. Correlation of aerial 

 photographs taken by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935 

 and preliminary reports of the BGLE, 1934-37, led 

 W. L. G. Joerg to interpret this glacier to be what 

 Wilkins named Casey Channel. This interpreta- 

 tion is borne out by the results of subsequent 

 exploration by members of the East Base of the 

 USAS in 1940. Not adopted: Casey Channel. 



CASEY RANGE: line of ridges rising to 3,100 ft. 

 in el., extending in a N.-S. direction and parallel- 

 ing the Masson Range, which lies about 15 mi. to 

 the E., on Mac-Robertson Coast; in about 67°47'S., 

 62°12'E. Disc, by the BANZARE, 1929-31, under 

 Mawson, who named it for Rt. Hon. Richard G. 

 Casey. 



CASTLE PEAK: prominent ice-covered peak, 

 about 8,300 ft. in el., standing close off the W. side 

 of Avery Plateau on Palmer Pen.; in 67°00'S., 

 65°53'W. It is shaped like a truncated cone with 

 a rounded summit and rises more than 2,000 ft. 

 above the surrounding ice. First surveyed in 1946 

 by the FIDS, and so named by them because of its 

 resemblance to a ruined medieval castle. 



Castle Rock: see Fort Rock. 



CASTLE ROCK: conspicuous rock about 600 ft. 

 in el., lying about 1 mi. off the west-central side 

 of Snow I., in the South Shetland Is.; in 62°47'S., 

 61°36'W. This descriptive name dates back to 

 about 1822 and is now established in international 

 usage. 



CASTLE ROCK: bold rock crag about 1,400 ft. in 

 el., situated about 3 mi. NE. of Hut Pt. on the cen- 

 tral ridge of Hut Point Peninsula, Ross I.; in about 

 77°48'S., 166°44'E. Disc, by the BrNAE under 

 Scott, 1901-4, who so named it beciause of its shape. 



CASTOR AND POLLUX: two large and several 

 smaller rocks, about 0.2 mi. SE. of Vindication I. 

 in the South Sandwich Is.; in 57°05'S., 26°46'W. 

 Charted in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery 

 II, who named them for the two brightest stars in 

 the constellation Gemini.
