COOK ROCK: arched rock about 150 ft. in el., 

 lying E. of Trousers Rock, and about 0.3 mi. NE. of 

 Vindication I., in the South Sandwich Is.; in 

 57°04'S., 26°45'W. Charted in 1930 by DI person- 

 nel on the Discovery II and named for Capt. James

COOPER, MOUNT: large mountain mass, about 

 5 mi. long and 1.5 mi. wide, rising over 3,500 ft. in 

 el., in the Edsel Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, 

 on the N. side of Boyd Gl.; in about 77°07'S., 

 145°24'W. Disc, on aerial flights in 1934 by the 

 ByrdAE and named by R. Adm. Byrd for Merian C. 

 Cooper, motion picture produce^ of Hollywood. 



COOPER BAY: small bay about 2 mi. SW. of 

 Cape Vahsel and 1 mi. NW. of Cooper I., at the SE. 

 end of South Georgia; in 54°47'S., 35°48'W. The 

 bay derives its name from nearby Cooper Island. 



COOPER GLACIER: valley glacier about 3 to 8 

 mi. wide and about 20 mi. long, which descends 

 from the south polar plateau and flows NE. between 

 Mounts Ruth Gade and Don Pedro Christophersen, 

 in the Queen Maud Range, and merges with the 

 head of Ross Ice Shelf; in about 85°30'S., 163°50'W. 

 Disc, by R. Adm. Byrd on several ByrdAE flights to 

 the Queen Maud Range in November 1929, and 

 named by him for Kent Cooper, an official of the 

 Associated Press. 



COOPER ISLAND: island about 2 mi. long which 

 lies at the N. side of the entrance to Grygalski 

 Fjord, ofif the SE. end of South Georgia; in 54°49'S., 

 35°46'W. Disc, by a Br. exp. under Cook in 1775,

COOPER SOUND: navigable channel, about 1.5 

 mi. wide, which separates Cooper I. from the SE. 

 coast of South Georgia; in 54°48'S., 35°48'W. The 

 existence of this channel was first noted in 1775 

 by a Br. exp. under Cook. The name Cooper Sound, 



derived from the nearby Cooper I., is well estab- 

 lished in use among the sealers in South Georgia. 



COPPER GLACIER: glacier which flows in a SE. 

 direction to the SE. coast of Anvers I. between Cop- 

 per Peak and Green Spur, on the N., and Billie Peak, 

 on the S., in the Palmer Arch.; in 64°44'S., 63°19'W. 

 Probably first seen by the BelgAE under De 

 Gerlache, 1897-99. The name appears on a chart 

 based on a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the 

 Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming. 



COPPERMINE COVE: cove immediately SE. of 

 Cape Morris, the NW. tip of Robert I., in the South 

 Shetland Is.; in 62°22'S., 59°46'W. The name, de- 

 rived from the reported existence of copper ore in 

 the cove, was applied by sealers in about 1821 to a 

 much larger bight farther SE. along the W. side 

 of Robert I., but in recent years the name has be- 

 come established for the cove described. Not 

 adopted: Copper Mine Cove.
