GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



GARDINER, MOUNT: ridge-like, granitic moun- 

 tain, about 8 mi. long and about 8,000 ft. in el., 

 standing just S. of the junction of Bartlett and 

 Robert Scott Glaciers, in the Queen Maud Range; 

 its northern extremity lies in about 86°13'S., 

 151°15'W. Disc, in December 1934 by the ByrdAE 

 geological party under Quin Blackburn, and named 

 by Byrd for T. Joseph Gardiner of Wellington, New 

 Zealand, agent for Byrd Antarctic Expeditions of 

 1928-30 and 1933-35. 



Gardner Bay: see Gardner Inlet. 



Gardner Glacier: see Ketchum Glacier. 



GARDNER INLET: large, ice-filled inlet lying at 

 the SW. side of Bowman Pen., on the E. coast of 

 Palmer Pen.; in 74°58'S., 62°52'W. Disc, by the 

 RARE, 1947-48, under Ronne, who named it for 

 Irvine C. Gardner, physicist at the National Bureau 

 of Standards, and member of the American Antarc- 

 tic Assn., Inc., the organization set up to make 

 plans and preparations for the expedition. His 

 work in the field of optics as applied to aerial 

 photography has been an important contribution 

 to this technique in polar exploration. Not 

 adopted: American Geographical Society Bay, 

 Gardner Bay. 



Garland Hersey Ridge; Garland Hershey Ridge: 

 see Hershey Ridge. 



Garnet, Cape: see Garnet Point. 



GARNET HILL: rocky hill, about 750 ft. in el., 

 standing on the E. side of McLeod Gl. in the S. part 

 of Signy I., South Orkney Is.; in 60°44'S., 45°38'W. 

 It forms the S. end of a line of rock and ice cliffs 

 which separate McLeod Gl. from Orwell Gl. So 

 named by the FIDS, following their survey of 1947, 

 because of the abundance of garnets found there.

 Gray, on George V Coast; in about 66°56'S., 

 143°46'E. Disc, in 1912 by the AAE under Maw-

 Bay, off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 68°21'S., 

 67°04'W. First surveyed in 1948-49 by the FIDS 

 and so named by them because of the occurrence 

 of garnet in the rocks.

 named it for Albert Gaudry, prominent French 

 paleontologist. Not adopted: Mount Goudry, 

 Sommet A. Gaudry [French]. 



Gauss, Mount: see Gaussberg. 



GAUSS, MOUNT: a massif with a cap of black 

 rock, lying about 3 mi. NE. of Mt. Chetwynd on the 

 S. side of Mawson Gl., in the Prince Albert Mtns. 

 of Victoria Land; in about 76°19'S., 162°20'E. Disc. 

 by the BrNAE, 1901-04, under Scott, who named 

 it for Prof. Karl Friedrich Gauss, German mathe- 

 matician and astronomer. 



GAUSSBERG: extinct volcanic cone about 1,150 

 ft. in el., fronting on Davis Sea immediately W. 

 of Posadowsky GL, and dominating a major portion 

 of Wilhelm II Coast; in 66°48'S., 89°19'E. Disc, 

 in February 1902 by the GerAE under Drygalski, 

 who named it for the exp. ship Gauss which was 

 frozen in the pack ice about 50 mi. N. until Febu- 

 ary 1903. Not adopted: Mount Gauss (q.v.), 

 Mount Gaussberg. 



GAUTHIER POINT: point which forms the NW. 

 extremity of Doumer I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 

 64°50'S., 63°36'W. Disc, by the FrAE, 1903-5, under 

 Charcot, who named it for Monsieur Gauthier, 

 builder of the exp. ships Frangais and Fourquoi- 

 Pas?. 



GBUREK PEAKS: an E.-W. series of peaks in 

 New Schwabenland, extending about 60 mi., in 

 about 72°15'S. on the Greenwich Meridian. They 

 project through the icecap about 30 mi. N. of the 

 edge of the polar plateau. Disc, by the GerAE 

 under Ritscher, 1938-39, and named for Leo Gbu- 

 rek, geophysicist on the expedition. 



GEDDES, CAPE: cape which forms the N. end 

 of Ferguslie Pen. on the N. coast of Laurie I., in 

 the South Orkney Is.; in 60°42'S., 44°35'W. First
