GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



in 1935 by DI personnel on the Discovery II, who 

 gave this descriptive name. 



CRAIGIE POINT: point at the SE. side of the 

 entrance to Right Whale Bay, on the N. coast of 

 South Georgia; in 54°02'S., 37°38'W. Craigie Point 

 is an established name dating back to about 1912. 

 Not adopted: Graicie Point. 



Crane Channel; Crane Inlet: see Crane Glacier. 



CRANE GLACIER: narrow glacier which flows 

 about 17 mi. in an ENE. direction through a deep 

 trough into Exasperation Inlet, on the E. coast of 

 Palmer Pen.; in 65°20'S., 62°20'W. Sir Hubert 

 Wilkins photographed this feature from the air in 

 1928 and gave it the name Crane Channel, after 

 C. K. Crane of Los Angeles, reporting that it ap- 

 peared to be a channel cutting in an E.-W. direc- 

 tion across the peninsula. The name was altered 

 to Crane Inlet following explorations along the W. 

 coast of Palmer Pen. in 1936 by the BGLE, which 

 proved that no through channel from the E. coast 

 exists. Comparison of Wilkins' photograph of this 

 feature with those taken in 1947 by the FIDS show 

 that Wilkins' "Crane Channel" is this glacier, al- 

 though it lies about 75 mi. NE. of the position origi- 

 nally reported by Wilkins. Not adopted: Crane 

 Channel, Crane Inlet. 



CRATER BAY: small bay at the NE. side of 

 Leskov I., in the South Sandwich Is.; in 56°40'S., 

 28°10'W. Disc, by the GerAE under Filchner, 

 1911-12, who so named it because of its apparent 

 formation as a result of volcanic eruption. Not 

 adopted: Kraterbucht [German]. 



CRATER HILL: hill, about 1,100 ft. in el., marked 

 by a volcanic crater at its summit, about 1 mi. N. 

 of Observation Hill in the S. part of Hut Point 

 Peninsula on Ross I.; in about 77°50'S., 166°41'E. 

 Disc, and named by the BrNAE under Scott, 1901-4. 



CREAK, MOUNT: sharp peak about 5,200 ft. in 

 el., lying N. of Fry Gl. in the Prince Albert Mtns. 

 of Victoria Land; in about 76°34'S., 162°05'E. Disc, 

 by the BrNAE under Scott, 1901-4, who named it 

 for Capt. E. W. Creak, then Dir. of Compasses at the 

 Admiralty. 



CR^PIN, CAPE: cape which marks the W. side 

 of the entrance to Mackellar Inlet in Admiralty 

 Bay, on King George I. in the South Shetland Is.; 

 in 62°04'S., 58^29'W. Cape Crepin appears to have 

 been named by the FrAE under Charcot, who 

 charted Admiralty Bay in December 1909. 



CRESCENT BAY: small bay lying along the E. 

 shore of Duke of York I. in the S. part of Robertson 

 Bay, in northern Victoria Land; in about 71°36'S., 

 170°05'E. First charted in 1899, and so named be- 



cause of its shape, by the BrAE under C. E. 

 Borchgrevink. 



CRESCENT ISLET: small, roughly crescent- 

 shaped islet, lying close S. of Mollyhawk It. in the 

 Bay of Isles, South Georgia; in 54°01'S., 37°20'W. 

 The islet was roughly charted in 1912-13, by Robert 

 Cushman Murphy. It was surveyed in 1929-30 by 

 DI personnel who named it Crescent Island. The 

 name Crescent Islet is approved because of the 

 small size of the feature. Not adopted: Crescent 

 Island. 



CRESWICK PEAKS: an impressive mountain 

 massif with several peaks, the highest about 4,800 

 ft. in el., standing at the NE. side of Moore Pt. be- 

 tween Naess and Meiklejohn Glaciers, and about 

 3 mi. inland from George VI Sound on Palmer Pen.; 

 in 70°28'S., 67°45'W. First surveyed in 1936 by the 

 BGLE under Rymill, and later named for Miss 

 Frances E. Creswick (now Mrs. James I. Moore — 

 see Moore Pt.), Asst. to the Dir. of the Scott Polar 

 Research Inst., Cambridge, 1931-38, who helped 

 to organize the BGLE, 1934-37. 



CREVASSE VALLEY GLACIER: broad glacier 

 distinguished by many crevasses, about 40 mi. long 

 and from 8 to 12 mi. wide, flowing W. from the 

 Rockefeller Plateau of Marie Byrd Land, through 

 the Edsel Ford Ranges, to Sulzberger Bay. Its 

 terminus Ues in about 76°44'S., 145°55'W. Disc. 

 by the Marie Byrd Land Sledging Party of the 

 ByrdAE, in November-December 1934, and so 

 named because of its extensively crevassed surface. 

 Not adopted : Crevassed Valley Glacier. 



CREWE, CAPE: cape which forms the N. side 

 of the entrance to Cook Bay, on the N. coast of 

 South Georgia; in 54°03'S., 37°08'W. Cape Crewe 

 is an established name, dating back to about 1912. 



CREWE ROCK: rock about 10 ft. in el., which 

 hes 0.1 mi. E. of Cape Crewe, off the N. coast of 

 South Georgia; in 54°03'S., 37°08'W. Named after 

 nearby Cape Crewe. 



CROCKETT, MOUNT : high granitic peak of the 

 Will Hays Mountains, rising to about 7,200 ft. in 

 el., standing between Robert Scott and Amundsen 

 Glaciers in the Queen Maud Range; in about 

 86°02'S. 155°00'W. Disc, in December 1929 by the 

 ByrdAE geological party under Laurence Gould, 

 and named by Byrd for Frederick E. Crockett, 

 member of that party. 



CROFT BAY: bay which indents the north-cen- 

 tral coast of James Ross I. and forms the S. part 

 of Sidney Herbert Sound, S. of the NE. end of Palm- 

 er Pen.; in 64°00'S., 57°45'W. Disc, in 1903 by 

 the SwedAE under Nordenskjold. Charted in 1945
