GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



CUMBERLAND EAST BAY: bay forming the 

 eastern arm of Cumberland Bay, South Georgia; 

 in 54°17'S., 36°27'W. It is entered between Sap- 

 pho Pt. and Barflf Pt., where it is nearly 3 mi. 

 wide, and extends 8 mi. in a SE. direction. This 

 feature was surveyed by the SwedAE, 1901-4, who 

 named it South Bay. It was remapped during 

 1926-29 by DI personnel and renamed East Cum- 

 berland Bay, which is more descriptive of its geo- 

 graphic position. The shortened form East Bay 

 was simultaneously used. Following the SGS, 

 1951-52, the Br-APC proposed that the name be 

 altered to Cumberland East Bay and that all other 

 names be rejected. This change brings together 

 information about the whole of Cumberland Bay 

 in one place in indexes, and will avoid confusion 

 with East Bay in Prince Olav Harbor, South 

 Georgia. Not adopted: East Bay, East Cumber- 

 land Bay, South Bay. 



CUMBERLAND WEST BAY: bay forming the 

 western arm of Cumberland Bay, South Georgia; 

 in 54°13'S., 36°32'W. It is entered southward of 

 Larsen Pt., where it is 2 mi. wide, and extends 7 

 mi. in a SW. direction. This feature was surveyed 

 by the SwedAE, 1901-4, who named it West Bay. 

 It was remapped during 1926-29 by DI personnel 

 and renamed West Cumberland Bay. The short- 

 ened form West Bay was simultaneously used. Fol- 

 lowing the SGS, 1951-52, the Br-APC proposed that 

 the name be altered to Cumberland West Bay and 

 that all other names be rejected. This change 

 brings together information about the whole Cum- 

 berland Bay in one place in indexes. Not adopted: 

 West Bay, West Cumberland Bay.
