GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. The 

 glacier was traversed near its head by a USAS 

 sledge party in January 1941. Its lower reaches 

 were surveyed in 1948-49 by the FIDS, and the 

 glacier was named by them for Louis C. G. Clarke, 

 Dir. of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, 

 1937-46, who greatly assisted the BGLE, 1934-37. 



CLARK ISLAND: rocky island about 2 mi. long 

 and 2 mi. wide, lying immediately N. of Bailey and 

 Mitchell Islands which, collectively, form the group 

 of three principal islands at the NE. end of the 

 Windmill Is. that lie close against Budd Coast; in 

 66°16'S., 110°27'E. Delineated from aerial pho- 

 tographs taken by USN Op. Hjp. in February 1947 

 which indicate that these three islands are con- 

 nected by a steep snow ramp to the continental 

 ice overlying Budd Coast. Prominent and moraine 

 deposits overlie and parallel the upper margin of 

 this snow ramp about 1 mi. from its outer edge on 

 Clark, Bailey and Mitchell Islands. Named by 

 the US-ACAN for Capt. John E. Clark, USN, cap- 

 tain of the U.S.S. Currituck, seaplane tender and 

 flagship of the western task group of USN Op. Hjp., 

 Task Force 68, 1946-47. 



CLARK MOUNTAINS: group of low mountains 

 rising from the Rockefeller Plateau in Marie Byrd 

 Land, NE. of the head of Boyd Gl.; in about 77°16'S., 

 141°55'W. Disc, and photographed on aerial flights 

 in 1940 by the USAS, and named for Clark Uni- 

 versity, Worcester, Mass. 



CLARK POINT: ice-covered point on the head- 

 land at the E. side of the entrance to Paulding Bay, 

 on Banzare Coast; in about 66°35'S., 123°55'e! 

 Delineated from aerial photographs taken by USN 

 Op. Hjp., 1946-47, and named by the US-ACAN for 

 George W. Clark, midshipman on the sloop of war 

 Peacock of the USEE under Wilkes, 1838-42. 



Clarkson Point: see Pylon Point. 



Claude, Cape: see Claude Point. 



CLAUDE POINT: point, distinguished by a re- 

 markable vertical rock close S., forming the W. 

 tip of the small peninsula at the S. side of Guyou 

 Bay, northwestern Brabant I., in the Palmer Arch • 

 in 64°06'S., 62°41'W. Disc, by the FrAE, 1903-5', 

 under Charcot, who named it for Monsieur Claude^ 

 an associate member of the Bureau des Longitudes.' 

 Not adopted: Cape Claude. 



Claude Swanson Mountains: see Swanson Moun- 

 tains. 



CLAYTON HILL: hill about 420 ft. in el. in the 

 north-central part of Petermann I., off the W. coast 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 65°10'S., 64°irw. Charted and 

 named by the FrAE, 1908-10, under Charcot. 



CLEFT POINT: point on the E. side of Norway 

 Bight, on the S. coast of Coronation I., South 

 Orkney Is. It is the W. extremity of an islet, 

 separated from Coronation I. by a very narrow 

 channel; in 60°38'S., 45°47'W. It was mapped by 

 DI personnel in 1933 as a point on Coronation I. 

 The name, which is descriptive, was given by the 

 FIDS following their survey of 1950. 



Clements Markham Bay: see Markham Bay. 



CLEMENTS MARKHAM ISLAND: circular island 

 about 2 mi. in diameter, lying about 2 mi. S. of 

 the E. end of Rabot I. in Grandidier Chan., off the 

 W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°56'S., 66°05'W. 

 Disc, by the FrAE, 1903-5, under Charcot, who 

 named it for Sir Clements Markham, Pres. of the 

 Royal Geographical Soc, 1893-1905. Charcot ap- 

 plied this name to an incompletely-defined island 

 NE. of Renaud I., in what is now the Pitt Islands. 

 The recommended application of the name is based 

 upon the map of the BGLE under Rymill, 1934-37, 

 which charted the island. The full name Clements 

 Markham Island is retained to distinguish this 

 feature from Markham I. in Terra Nova Bay, Vic- 

 toria Land. Not adopted: Markham Island (q.v.). 



CLERKE ROCKS: group of rocks extending 

 about 5 mi. in an E.-W. direction, lying some 40 

 mi. ESE. of South Georgia; in 55°01'S., 34°41'W. 

 Disc, in 1775 by a Br. exp. under Cook, who named 

 them for Charles Gierke, officer on Cook's ship 

 Resolution. Not adopted: Clerkes Rocks. 



CLfiRY PEAK: peak about 2,100 ft. in el. on the 

 N. side of Mt. Lacroix, a conspicuous massif at the 

 N. end of Booth I., off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; 

 in 65°03'S., 63°59'W. Charted by the FrAE, 1903-5, 

 under Charcot, who named, it for his father-in- 

 law, L. Clery, an eminent French lawyer. 



CLEVELAND GLACIER: glacier about 2 mi. wide, 

 which descends from the highlands W. of Granite 

 Hbr. in a SE. direction to Mackay GL, close W. of 

 Mt. Marston, in Victoria Land; in about 76°56'S., 

 162°05'E. Disc, by the Western Geological Party 

 of the BrAE, 1910-13, and named by Frank Deben- 

 ham, a member of the party. Cleveland was his 

 mother's name. 



CLIFF ISLET: narrow cliffed islet at the E. 

 side of Mutton Cove, lying immediately S. of Upper 

 Islet about 8 mi. W. of Ferin Head, off the W. coast 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 66°00'S., 65°42'W. Charted and 

 named by the BGLE under Rymill, 1934-37. Not 

 adopted: Cliff Island. 



CLIFFORD GLACIER: broad glacier, about 40 

 mi. long, flowing in an ENE. direction to the gap
