GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



EXTENSION REEF: reef lying in Grandidier 

 Chan., about 10 mi. SW. of Clements Markham I., 

 off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 66°01'S., 

 66°14'W. Disc, and named by the BGLE, 1934-37, 

 under Rymill. 



EZCURRA INLET: inlet forming the W. arm of 

 Admiralty Bay, King George I., in the South Shet- 

 land Is.; in 62°09'S., 58°31'W. Ezcurra Inlet was 

 probably named by the FrAE, 1908-10, under Char- 

 cot, who charted Admiralty Bay in December 1909. 



FACTORY COVE: small cove entered between 

 Knife Pt. and Berntsen Pt. in the S. part of Borge 

 Bay at Signy I., South Orkney Is.; in 60°43'S., 

 45°37'W. The cove was roughly surveyed by the 

 Norwegian whaling captain Hans Borge in 1913-14, 

 and was named "Borge Havna" on a map of the 

 period by Fetter S0rlle. The name of Borge was 

 later transferred, and Borge Bay is now the name 

 of the bay of which this cove forms a small part. 

 The cove was resurveyed by DI personnel in 1927 

 and renamed Factory Cove, because the ruins of 

 the whaling factory built in 1920-21 by the T0ns- 

 berg Hvalfangeri stand on its SE. shore. Not 

 adopted: Borge Havna [Norwegian]. 



Factory Point: see Restitution Point. 



FACTORY POINT: small point on the W. side 

 and close to the head of Leith Hbr., in Stromness 

 Bay, South Georgia; in 54°08'S., 36°41'W. The 

 name was probably given by whalers because of its 

 nearness to Messrs. Salvesen and Company's whal- 

 ing station near the head of Leith Harbor. 



FAIRWAY ROCK: submerged rock in the cen- 

 tral part of Larsen Hbr., at the SE. end of South 

 Georgia; in 54°50'S., 35°59'W. Charted in 1927 

 by DI personnel, and so named by them because 

 it Lies in the navigable portion of the harbor. 



FAIRWEATHER, CAPE : promontory about 2,200 

 ft. in el., which is ice covered except for rocky ex- 

 posures along its SE. and E. sides, lying midway 

 between Drygalski Gl. and Evans Inlet, on the E. 

 coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°00'S., 61°05'W. Charted 

 in 1947 by the FIDS, who named it for Alexander 

 Fairweather, captain of the Dundee whaler Balaena 

 which operated along the NE. coast of Palmer Pen. 

 in 1892-93. 



FALKLAND HARBOR: shallow harbor along the 

 SW. side of Powell I., in the South Orkney Is.; 

 in 60°44'S., 45°03'W. Charted by a Nor. whaling 

 exp. under S0rlle in 1912-13. Named after the 

 floating whale factory Falkland which was badly 

 damaged while entering the harbor in the 1912-13 

 season. 



FALLA BLUFF: prominent rocky bluff, about 

 950 ft. in el., lying at the head of Utstikkar Bay on 

 Mac-Robertson Coast; in about 67°33'S., 61°29'E. 

 Disc, on about Feb. 17, 1931 by the BANZARE under 

 Mawson, and named by him for R. A. Falla, a 

 member of the expedition. Not adopted: Svart- 

 hovden [Norwegian]. 



FALLI£:RES COAST: that portion of the W. 

 coast of Palmer Pen. lying between the head of 

 Bourgeois Fjord in 67°31'S., 66°32'W. and Cape 

 Jeremy in 69°24'S., 68°51'W. This coast was first 

 explored in January 1909 by the FrAE under Char- 

 cot, who named it for Clement Armand Fallieres, 

 then Pres. of France. Not adopted: Fallieres Coast, 

 Fallieres Coast, Fallieres Land. 



FALSE BAY: bay about 3 mi. wide, which lies 

 between Barnard Pt. and Elephant Pt. on the S. 

 side of Livingston I., in the South Shetland Is.; 

 in 62°42'S., 60°22'W. The name False Bay has 

 appeared on charts since about 1822 and is well 

 established in international usage. Not adopted: 

 Palmer Bay, Palmers Bay. 



FALSE BAY: small bight about 2 mi. NW. of 

 Van Ryswyck Pt., the E. tip of An vers I., in the 

 Palmer Arch.; in 64°33'S., 62°51'W. Charted and 

 named by DI personnel on the Discovery in 1927. 

 The name is probably suggestive of the limited 

 indentation of this feature in the coast. 



FALSE ISLAND POINT: headland about 1 mi. 

 long and 0.5 mi. wide, which is connected by a low, 

 narrow, almost invisible isthmus to the S. side of 

 Vega I., lying S. of the NE. end of Palmer Pen.; 

 in 63°55'S., 57°20'W. First sighted in February 

 1902 and charted as an island by the SwedAE under 

 Nordenskjold. It was determined to be a part 

 of Vega I. in 1945 by the FIDS, who applied this 

 descriptive name. 



FALSE ISLET: largest of several islets lying 

 at the E. side of Hackapike Bay, off the NE. coast 

 of Anvers I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 64°31'S., 

 62°52'W. Two islets were charted in this approxi- 

 mate position by the FrAE under Charcot, 1903-5. 

 False Islet was named by DI personnel on the 

 Discovery in 1927. Not adopted: False Island. 



FALSE ROUND POINT: point about 7 mi. W. 

 of North Foreland and 1.5 mi. S. of Ridley I., on 

 the N. coast of King George I., in the South Shet- 

 land Is.; in about 61°52'S., 57°58'W. This point 

 has appeared on charts since about 1822. It was 

 probably named after Round Pt., which lies about 

 10 mi. WSW. by DI personnel on the Discovery II 

 who charted along the N. coast of this in 1937.
