GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



HOPE, MOUNT: mountain about 2,700 ft. in 

 el., marked by a well-defined terrace strewn with 

 erratics, projecting through Ross Ice Shelf at the 

 W. side of the mouth of Beardmore Gl.; in about 

 83"35'S., 17r 30'E. Disc, in December 1908 by the 

 BrAE under Shackleton, and so named because 

 the Polar Party, after ascending it in the hope of 

 finding a route to the Pole, saw the great Beard- 

 more Gl. stretching to the SW. as far as they could 

 see. 



Hope, Mount: see Bransfield, Mount. 



HOPE BAY: bay about 3 mi. long and 2 mi. 

 wide, indenting the tip of Palmer Pen. and open- 

 ing on Antarctic Sound; in 63°24'S., 57°00'W. 

 Disc, on Jan. 15, 1902 by the SwedAE under 

 Nordenskjold, who named it in commemoration of 

 the winter spent there by J. Gunnar Andersson, 

 Samuel A. Duse, and Toralf Grunden of his expe- 

 dition. 



HOPE ISLAND: island about 1 mi. long with 

 an islet off its S. end, lying about 7 mi. WNW. of 

 D'Urville I., off the NE. tip of Palmer Pen.; in 

 63°02'S., 56°52'W. The name appears on Powell's 

 map published by Laurie in 1822. A Fr. exp. under 

 D'Urville, 1837-40, charted an island in essentially 

 the same position which he named Daussy Island. 

 Not adopted: Dausay Island, Daussy Island. 



HOPE POINT: rocky bluff about 70 ft. in el., 

 forming the N. side of the entrance to King Ed- 

 ward Cove, on the W. side of Cumberland East 

 Bay, South Georgia; in 54°17'S., 36°29'W. Charted 

 and photographed by the SwedAE under Norden- 

 skjold, 1901-4. The point is named for H. W. W. 

 Hope, who directed a 1920 survey of King Edward 

 Cove by personnel on H.M.S. Dartmouth. It is the 

 site of a monument in commemoration of Sir 

 Ernest Shackleton. 



HOPE POINT: bluff forming the W. end of 

 Bertha I. and the E. side of the entrance to Wil- 

 liam Scoresby Bay, off Mac-Robertson Coast; in 

 about 67°23'S., 59 38'E. The name appears to 

 have been applied by DI personnel on the William 

 Scoresby who landed on Bertha I. in February 1936. 



HOP ISLAND: small, rocky islet, about 1.7 mi. 

 long, which rises to about 170 ft. in el., marking 

 the third largest of the Rauer Is. and lying about 

 3 mi. WSW. of Filla I. in the west-central por- 

 tion of the group, off Ingrid Christensen Coast; 

 in about 68 51'S., 77°35'E. Charted by Norwegian 

 cartographers from aerial photographs taken in 

 January 1937 by the Nor. exp. under Lars Christen- 

 sen, and named Hopoy, a Norwegian word mean- 

 ing "cove island," as this feature was believed to 



form part of a horseshoe-shaped island which en- 

 closed a prominent cove. The name Hop Island 

 was proposed by John H. Roscoe, following his 

 1952 compilation from aerial photographs taken by 

 USN Op. Hjp. in March 1947, as he determined 

 that the original Hopoy feature now comprises a 

 chain of small islands, islets and rocks. Not 

 adopted: Hopoy [Norwegian]. 



Hopoy: see Hop Island. 



HORDERN, CAPE: ice-free cape, overlain by 

 morainic drift, separating Queen Mary and Knox 

 Coasts, and marking the NW. end of the small 

 peninsula identified as the Bunger Hills; in about 

 66°16'S., 100°27'E. The cape lies at the S. side of 

 the entrance to a narrow, sinuous inlet, which 

 roughly bisects the Bunger Hills in an E.-W. direc- 

 tion, and is enclosed on the W. by the Edisto Ice 

 Tongue. Probably sighted from Watson Bluff, in 

 98°52'E., by A. L. Kennedy and other members of 

 the Western Base Party of the AAE under Mawson, 

 1911-14, who charted the W. wall of what ap- 

 peared to be two small islands lying N. of Cape 

 Hoadley in about 100°35'E. Named by Mawson 

 for Sir Samuel Hordern of Sydney, Australia, a 

 patron of the AAE. Renamed Cape Hordern by 

 the US-ACAN following correlation of Kennedy's 

 map with the US-ACAN map of 1955 compiled from 

 aerial photographs taken by USN Op. Hjp., 1946- 

 47. Not adopted: Hordern Island, Hordern 

 Islands, Mount Hordern. 



Hordern, Mount; Hordern Islands: see Hordern, 

 Cape. 



HORDERN, MOUNT: peak about 4,900 ft. in el., 

 rising through the icecap about 5 mi. S. of Mt. 

 Coates, in the David Range on Mac-Robertson 

 Coast; in about 67°56'S., 62°32'E. Disc, in Febru- 

 ary 1931 by the BANZARE under Mawson, and 

 probably named for Sir Samuel Hordern, a patron 

 of this exp. and the AAE under Mawson, 1911-14. 



HORLICK MOUNTAINS: mountain range lying 

 SE. of the head of Ross Ice Shelf, tentatively inter- 

 preted as a continuation of the Watson Escarp- 

 ment. Tentatively located in about 86°00'S., 

 115°00'W. on the basis of two observations, one by 

 Kennett L. Rawson from a position in about 

 83°00'S., 105°19'W., at the end of his SE. flight of 

 Nov. 22, 1934, and another by Quin A. Blackburn 

 in December 1934, from position looking up two 

 eastern tributaries of Robert Scott Gl. on either 

 side of a point in about 85°40'S., 152°00'W. Disc, 

 in 1934 by the ByrdAE and named for William 

 Horlick, of Horlick's Milk Corp., who helped sup- 

 port the expedition.
