GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



in 70°22'S., 60°30'W. The upper part of this gla- 

 cier was charted in 1936 by BGLE under Rymill; 

 the seaward side by the USAS survey party which 

 explored along this coast in 1940. During 1947 it 

 was photographed from the air by the RARE under 

 Ronne, who in conjunction with the FIDS charted 

 it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for Sir 

 G. Miles Clifford, Gov. oi the Falkland Islands. 



CLIFFORD PEAK: peak about 3,800 ft. in el., 

 which stands in the Osterreith Mtns. about 4 mi. 

 WSW. of Van Ryswyck Pt., Anvers I., in the Palmer 

 Arch.; in 64°36'S., 62°57'W. Probably first seen 

 by the BelgAE, 1897-99, under De Gerlache. The 

 peak was named by members of H.M.S. Snipe fol- 

 lowing an Antarctic cruise in January 1948, for Sir 

 G. Miles Clifford. 



Climbing Range: see Blackwall Mountains. 



CLOOS, CAPE: cape surmounted by a sharp 

 cone, about 3,200 ft. in el., fronting on Lemaire 

 Chan, and marking the N. side of the entrance to 

 Girard Bay, on the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 65°08'S., 64°00'W. Disc, and named by the 

 BelgAE 1897-99, under De Gerlache. 



Cloos, Massif: see Cloos, Mount. 



CLOOS, MOUNT: dome-shaped mountain prob- 

 ably over 3,000 ft. in el., standing at the N. side of 

 Girard Bay about 2 mi. E. of Cape Cloos on the W. 

 coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°08'S., 63°54'W. Disc, 

 by the BelgAE, 1897-99, under De Gerlache. The 

 FrAE under Charcot, 1908-10, named this moun- 

 tain after the cape lying directly to the west. Not 

 adopted: Massif Cloos [French]. 



CLOSE, CAPE: cape about 35 mi. W. of the As- 

 gaard Is., on the coast of Enderby Land; in about 

 65°55'S., 52°10'E. Disc, by the BANZARE, 

 1929-31, under Mawson, who named it for Sir 

 Charles Close, Pres. of the Royal Geographical 

 Soc, 1927-30. 



CLOSE ISLETS : small group of islets, which are 

 almost entirely ice capped, about 2 mi. ESE. of 

 Cape De la Motte, off George V Coast; in about 

 67°01'S., 144°27'E. Disc, in 1912 by the AAE un- 

 der Mawson, who named the group for John H. 

 Close, member of the expedition. 



CLOTHIER HARBOR: small harbor in the N. side 

 of Robert I., about 4 mi. ENE. of the NW. end of 

 the island, in the South Shetland Is.; in 62°20'S., 

 59°40'W. Named by American sealers in about 

 1820 after the sealing vessel Clothier. The Cloth- 

 ier, under Capt. Alexander Clark, was one of sev- 

 eral American sealing vessels headquartered at 

 this harbor during the 1820-21 season. The Cloth- 



ier went aground here and sank on Dec. 9, 1820. 

 Not adopted: Clothier's Harbour. 



Clothier's Harbour: see Clothier Harbor. 



CLOUDMAKER, THE: mountain about 10,000 ft. 

 in el., lying E. of Mt. Kirkpatrick and forming the 

 most conspicuous landmark along the W. side of 

 Beardmore Gl.; in about 84°20'S., 169°15'E. Disc, 

 by the BrAE, 1907-9 under Shackleton, who so 

 named the mountain because a cloud usually ap- 

 peared near the summit, providing a useful land- 

 mark during the journey up the Beardmore Gla- 

 cier. 



CLOWES BAY: bay about 1 mi. wide, entered be- 

 tween Confusion Pt. and the Oliphant Its., along 

 the S. side of Signy I., in the South Orkney Is.; in 

 60°44'S., 45°37'W. Charted in 1933 by DI person- 

 nel on the Discovery II, who named it for Archibald 

 J. Clowes, English oceanographer on the staff of 

 the Discovery Committee, 1924^6. 



CLOWES GLACIER: glacier about 2 mi. wide, 

 which flows E. to enter Mason Inlet, on the E. coast 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 72°56'S., 60°41'W. Disc, and 

 photographed from the air in December 1940 by 

 the USAS. During 1947 it was photographed from 

 the air by the RARE under Ronne, who in conjunc- 

 tion with the FIDS charted it from the ground. 

 Named by the FIDS for Archibald J. Clowes. 



Club, Mount: see Touring Club, Mount. 



COAL HARBOR: small bay about 0.6 mi. E. of 

 Undine Hbr., along the S. coast and near the W. 

 end of South Georgia; in 54°02'S., 37°58'W. The 

 name Coaling Harbor, given in about 1912, sug- 

 gests a possible early use of the bay by sealers and 

 whalers. The name was shortened to Coal Har- 

 bor by DI personnel who charted the area during 

 the period 1926-30. Not adopted: Coaling Harbor. 



Coaling Harbor: see Coal Harbor. 



COAL NUNATAK: flat-topped rock mass with 

 steep cliffs facing S., standing 2 mi. SW. of Corner 

 Cliffs on the SE. coast of Alexander I Island; in 

 72°07'S., 68°32'W. This nunatak was first photo- 

 graphed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 

 23, 1935. Observing this feature from the NW. 

 (the direction from which Ellsworth photographed 

 this nunatak) only the summit protrudes above 

 the coastal ice, and it was uncertain at that time 

 whether this was a peak on Alexander I Island or 

 an island in George VI Sound. Its true nature was 

 determined by the FIDS who visited and surveyed 

 this nunatak in 1949. So named by FIDS because
