GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



thin lenses of coal (about 6 feet by 1 inch in extent) 

 occur there. 



COATES, MOUNT: mountain about 4,200 ft. in 

 el., which stands in the N. part of the David Range 

 of the Framnes Mtns., on Mac-Robertson Coast; in 

 about 67°52'S., 62°33'E. Disc, and named by the 

 BANZARE, under Mawson, on about Feb. 15, 1931. 



COATS LAND : that part of Antarctica which lies 

 W. of Queen Maud Land and forms the E. shore 

 of Weddell Sea, extending in a general NE.-SW. 

 direction between 20 °W. and 37 °W. Named by 

 the ScotNAE under Bruce, 1902-4, for James Coats, 

 Jr., and Maj. Andrew Coats, supporters of the ex- 

 pedition. 



COBALESCOU ISLET: snow-free islet about 0.5 

 mi. long, with two rounded summits about 100 ft. 

 in el., lying 1 mi. SE. of Two Hummock I. in the 

 NE. part of De Gerlache Str., off the W. coast of 

 Palmer Pen.; in 64°11'S., 61°36'W. Disc, and 

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



COBBLERS COVE : small cove which provides an 

 anchorage about 0.5 mi. W. of Godthul, along the 

 N. coast of South Georgia; in 54°16'S., 36°18'W. 

 This feature was charted and named Pleasant 

 Cove by DI persormel in 1929, but that name is not 

 known locally. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that 

 this feature is known to whalers and sealers as 

 "Skomaker Hullet" (meaning cobbler's cove), be- 

 cause it was first entered in thick fog by a Nor- 

 wegian gunner who had once been a cobbler. An 

 English form of this name has been approved. Not 

 adopted: Pleasant Cove, Skomaker Hullet [Nor- 

 wegian] . 



COCKBURN, CAPE: cape which marks the NE. 

 extremity of Pasteur Pen. on Brabant I., in the 

 Palmer Arch.; in 64°00'S., 62°22'W. The name 

 appears on a chart based upon a Br. exp. under 

 Foster, 1828-31, who perhaps gave the name for 

 Adm. George Cockburn, British naval officer and 

 Admiral of the Fleet in 1851. The cape was 

 charted by the FrAE under Charcot, 1903-5. 



COCKBURN ISLAND: circular island about 1 

 mi. in diameter, consisting of a high plateau with 

 steep slopes surmounted on the NW. side by a 

 pyramidal peak about 1,500 ft. in el., lying in the 

 NE. entrance to Admiralty Sound, S. of the NE. end 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 64°12'S., 56°50'W. Disc, by a 

 Br. exp. under Ross, 1839-43, who named it for 

 Adm. George Cockburn, RN. 



COCKS, MOUNT: peak which lies WSW. of Mt.

 trance to the bay on the E. side of the peninsula 

 which forms the SE. tip of Coronation I., in the 

 South Orkney Is.; in 60°45'S., 45°09'W. The 

 names "Koffer" and "Kotter" are used for this 

 feature on two manuscript charts based on surveys 

 by Capt. Petter S0rlle in 1912-15. The recom- 

 mended spelling, the anglicized form of the first 

 of the two terms, was used by DI personnel on the 

 Discovery II who charted these islands in 1933.
