GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



Hays Mountains: see Will Hays Mountains. 



Haystack, The: see Haystack Mountain. 



HAYSTACK MOUNTAIN: mountain about 3,300 

 ft. in el., with a rounded summit which is sug- 

 gestive of mound or a haystack, standing about 1.5 

 mi. E. of Mt. England in the NE. part of the Gon- 

 ville and Caius Range, in Victoria Land; in about 

 77°03'S., 162°37'E. Charted and named by the 

 BrAE under Scott, 1910-13. Not adopted: The 

 Haystack. 



HAZARD ROCK: small isolated rock, 3 ft. high, 

 which lies in Bismarck Strait, 2.5 mi. NE. of Cape 

 Renard, Palmer Pen.; in 64°59'S., 63°44'W. Named 

 by Lt. Cdr. F. W. Hunt, RN, following his survey 

 in 1952. This feature is a hazard to navigation 

 in the low visibility which is frequent in this vi- 

 cinity. 



Healey, Cape: see Healy, Cape. 



HEALY, CAPE: prominent, square-shaped rock 

 cape forming the N. side of the entrance to Lam- 

 plugh Inlet, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 71°22'S., 60°57'W. Disc, by members of the USAS 

 who explored this coast by land and from the 

 air in 1940. Named for Joseph D. Healy, member 

 of the ByrdAE, 1933-35, and dog driver at the 

 USAS East Base, 1939-41. Not adopted: Cape 

 Healey. 



HEANEY GLACIER: glacier, about 4 mi. long, 

 which lies close NW. of Cook Gl. and flows NE. 

 and then E. toward Saint Andrews Bay on the N. 

 coast of South Georgia; in 54°25'S., 36°12'W. Sur- 

 veyed by the SGS, 1951-52. Named by the Br-APC 

 for John B. Heaney, surveyor with the SGS, 

 1951-52. 



HEARD ISLAND: island about 23 mi. long, in 

 a NW.-SE. direction, and about 10 mi. wide, sur- 

 mounted by an ice-covered volcanic peak, about 

 9,000 ft. in el., situated SE. of the Kerguelen Is- 

 lands; in about 53°06'S., 73°30'E. Disc, on Nov. 

 25, 1853 by Capt. John J. Heard, of the merchant 

 ship Oriental of New London, Conn. Named for 

 Captain Heard by American sealers who began 

 sealing operations at the island soon after word 

 of its discovery. 



Hearst, Cape: see Wilkins, Cape. 



HEARST ISLAND: ice-covered, dome-shaped is- 

 land lying about 4 mi. E. of Cape Rymill, off the 

 E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 69°26'S., 62°10'W. The 

 island is about 36 mi. long, in a N.-S. direction, 

 and about 10 mi. wide, and rises to about 1,200 ft. 



in elevation. First sighted on a flight on Dec. 20, 

 1928 by Sir Hubert Wilkins. Thinking it was part 

 of the mainland of Antarctica, he named it Hearst 

 Land for William Randolph Hearst, who helped 

 finance the expedition. It was resighted and its 

 insularity ascertained in 1940 by members of the 

 USAS who explored this coast by land and from 

 the air. They named it Wilkins Island. Examina- 

 tion of aerial photographs have shown, however, 

 that this large island is what Wilkins considered 

 Hearst Land. Not adopted: Hearst Land, Wilkins 

 Island. 



Hearst Land: see Hearst Island. 



HEDDEN, MOUNT: mountain projecting 

 through the icecap near the N. margin of the New 

 Schwabenland piedmont; in about 72-09'S., 

 1°10'E. Disc, by the GerAE under Ritscher, and 

 named for Karl Hedden, one of the sailors on the 

 expedition. 



Heil Peak: see Neill Peak. 



HEIM GLACIER: glacier, about 2 mi. wide and 

 at least 5 mi. long, which flows S. to merge with 

 the ice in Jones Channel, on the W. coast of Palmef 

 Pen.; in 67°28'S., 66"55'W. It probably forms the 

 S. part of a transverse depression extending to 

 the SW. corner of Lallemand Fjord. First sighted 

 from the air in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. 

 Its lower reaches were surveyed in 1949 by the 

 FIDS, and the glacier named by them for Albert 

 Heim, Swiss glaciologist and author in 1885 of 

 Handbuch der Gletscherkunde. 



Heksegryta: see Kleinschmidt Peak. 



Helena Island: see Bridgeman Island. 



Helene Gletscher: see Helen Glacier. 



HELENE ISLET: small rocky islet marking the 

 W. end of Geologic Arch., lying about 0.2 mi. NW. 

 of Ifo It. close off Adelie Coast, midway between 

 Liotard Gl. and Cape Geodesic; in 66°37'S., 

 139°44'E. Photographed from the air by USN Op. 

 Hjp., 1946-47. Charted by the FrAE under Liotard, 

 1949-51, and named for the French polar ship 

 Helene. Not adopted: lies Helene [French]. 



HELEN GLACIER : glacier marked by a series of 

 heavy, broken, and crevassed icefalls, lying W. of
