GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



CORRAL POINT: rocky point forming the SW. 

 extremity of Moe I., South Orkney Is.; in 60°45'S., 

 45°43'W. Roughly surveyed by DI personnel in 

 1933. Named by the FIDS following their survey 

 of 1947. The Corral Whaling Co. of Bergen, a sub- 

 sidiary of Messrs. Christensen and Co., Corral, 

 Chile, operated the floating factory Tioga, with its 

 steam whalers Corral and Fyr, in the South Orkney 

 Is. in 1912-13. 



CORRELL NUNATAK: nunatak on the W. mar- 

 gin of Mertz Gl., standing about 20 mi. SSW. of the 

 head of Buchanan Bay, on George V Coast; in about 

 67°34'S., 144°07'E. Disc, in November 1912 by the 

 AAE under Mawson, who named it for Percy E. 

 Correll, mechanic with the Main Base party.

CORRY ISLAND: circular island about 2 mi. in 

 diameter and about 1,600 ft. in el., lying off the SE. 

 coast of Louis Philippe Pen. between Vega and 

 Eagle Islands; in 63°43'S., 57°32'W. This is believed 

 to be the cape sighted hereabout by a Br. exp. under 

 Ross, 1839-43, who named it for Thomas L. Corry, 

 a Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty. In 1945, 

 the FIDS charted an archipelago in this area. The 

 present application of the name is in accord with 

 the FIDS "that the name of Corry should be per- 

 petuated on the most conspicuous of these islands 

 as seen from eastward (the direction from which it 

 was seen by Ross)." Not adopted: Cape Corry. 



COTTER, CAPE: bold headland about 10 mi. S. 

 of Cape Hallett, on the coast of Victoria Land; in

 exp. under Ross, for Pownall P. Cotter, Master of 

 the Terror, one of the two exp. ships used by Ross.

 glacial ice lying at the S. side of Mackay Gl. With

 islets and rocks, the highest about 90 ft. in el., lying 

 close SW. of Emperor It. in the De Dion Its., ofT

 el., standing close E. of the mouth of Meinardus 

 Gl. on the W. side of New Bedford Inlet, on the E. 

 coast of Palmer Pen.; in 73°22'S.', 61°36'W. Disc, 

 and photographed from the air in December 1940 

 by members of East Base of the USAS. During 

 1947 it was photographed from the air by members 

 of the RARE, who in conjunction with the FIDS 

 charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS

 by the BGLE under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 by 

 the FIDS who gave the name because of the re- 

 semblance of these rocks to a covey of partridges 

 sitting in a field.
