HIGHJUMP ARCHIPELAGO: a group of rocky 

 islands, rocks and ice rises about 50 mi. long and 

 from 5 to 15 mi. wide, lying generally N. of the 

 Hunger Hills and extending from the Taylor Its., 

 close NW. of Cape Hordern, to a prominent group 

 of ice rises which terminate close W. of Cape Elliott, 

 off the W. end of Knox Coast; centering in about
