GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



in about 81°52'S., 159°28'E. Disc, by the BrNAE, 

 1901-4, under Scott, who named it for Sir Anthony 

 Hoskins, former Lord of the Admiralty and a 

 member of the BrNAE Ship Committee. 



Hospital Cove: see Yankee Harbor. 



HOULDER, MOUNT: dark, precipitous peak, 

 about 1,100 ft. in el., bordering the E. side of 

 Furness Gl. on the N. side of Elephant I., in the 

 South Shetland Is.; in about 61°02'S., 55°00'W. 

 Charted by a Br. exp. under Shackleton, 1914-16, 

 and named for Frank Houlder of the Houlder 

 steamship line, who was of assistance to the expe- 

 dition. Not adopted: Mount Frank Houlder, 

 Mount Holder. 



HOULE ISLET: low rocky islet, lying about 0.9 

 mi. W. of Ressac It. and about 3.5 mi. NNE. of 

 Zelee Glacier Tongue, ofT Adelie Coast; in about 

 66°42'S., 141°12'E. Photographed from the air by 

 USN Op. Hjp., 1946-47. Charted by the FrAE 

 under Liotard, 1949-51, and so named because the 

 surf breaks over this low-lying islet. Houle is the 

 French word for surge or swell. 



HOUND BAY: bay, which is 2.5 mi. wide at its 

 mouth and recedes 3 mi., entered between Tijuca 

 Pt. and Cape Vakop along the N. coast of South 

 Georgia; in 54°22'S., 36°13'W. The names George 

 Bay and Hundebugten have appeared on charts 

 for this feature. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that 

 this bay is better known to whalers and sealers as 

 "Bikjebugten" (the word Bikje implying any low 

 type canine) . The name Hound Bay, proposed by 

 the Br-APC, is an English form of this name. Not 

 adopted: Bikjebugten [Norwegian], George Bay, 

 Hundebugten [Norwegian] , St. Georges Bay. 



Houzeau de Lehaie, Cap; Houzeau de Lehaye, 

 Cape: see Lehaie, Cape. 



HOVDE ICE TONGUE: small ice tongue, about 

 2 mi. wide and 2 mi. long, projecting NW. from the 

 continental ice overlying Ingrid Christensen Coast, 

 about 3 mi. NE. of Flatnes Ice Tongue; in about 

 69°14'S., 76°35'E. Charted by Norwegian cartog- 

 raphers from aerial photographs taken in January 

 1937 by the Nor. exp. under Lars Christensen. So 

 named by John H. Roscoe, following his 1952 study 

 of USN Op. Hjp. aerial photographs taken in March 

 1947, because of its close association with Hovde 

 Islet. 



HOVDE ISLET: round, rocky islet, about 0.6 mi. 

 across, which rises to about 250 ft. in el., lying near 

 the NW. end of Hovde Ice Tongue, close off Ingrid 

 Christensen Coast; in about 69°14'S., 76°33'E. 

 Charted by Norwegian cartographers from aerial 



photographs taken in January 1937 by the Nor. exp. 

 under Lars Christensen, and named Hovde, a Nor- 

 wegian word meaning rounded hill. The generic 

 islet is approved as a more appropriate term be- 

 cause of the offshore nature of this feature. Not 

 adopted: Hovden [Norwegian]. 



Hovden: see Hovde Islet. 



HOVGAARD ISLAND: island about 3 mi. long, 

 lying about 0.5 mi. SW. of Booth I., off the W. coast 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 65°08'S., 64°08'W. Disc, and 

 named Krogmann Island by a Ger. exp. under Dall- 

 mann, 1873-74, but the name Hovgaard Island, 

 applied by the BelgAE under De Gerlache, 1897-99, 

 has overtaken the original name in usage. Not 

 adopted: He Howgaard [French], Krogmann Is- 

 land. 



HOWARD, CAPE: high, fiat-topped, snow-cov- 

 ered promontory separating Lamplugh and Odom 

 Inlets, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 71°25'S., 

 61°08'W. Disc, by the USAS who explored along 

 this coast by land and from the air in 1940. Named 

 by the US-ACAN for August Howard, founder of 

 the American Polar Soc. and editor of the Polar 

 Times. Not adopted: Cape Rusty. 



HOWARD, MOUNT: dark-appearing, rounded 

 mountain lying NNE. of Mt. Bowen on the N. side 

 of Davis Gl., in Victoria Land; in about 75°40'S., 

 161°10'E. Disc, and named by the BrNAE under 

 Scott, 1901-4. 



HOWARD BAY: bay about 4 mi. wide, lying be- 

 tween Cape Simpson and Byrd Head along Mac- 

 Robertson Coast; in about 67°27'S., 61°06'E. Disc, 

 on about Feb. 18, 1931 by the BANZARE under 

 Mawson, and named by him for A. Howard, a mem- 

 ber of the expedition. Not adopted: Ufsoyv&gen 

 [Norwegian] . 



Howard Island: (in about 72°40'S., 59°00'W.) the 

 decision of May 1947 has been VACATED, since 

 subsequent survey has shown that no island exists 

 in the position indicated. Instead, the name How- 

 ard has been applied to a cape in 71°25'S., 61°10'W. 



HOWE, MOUNT: a group of low connecting 

 ridges and gable-shaped nunataks standing about 

 15 mi. SE. of Mt. Weaver and S. of the head of 

 Robert Scott Gl., rising above the ice of the south 

 polar plateau to about 10,000 ft. in el., at the S. 

 fringe of the Queen Maud Range; in about 87°10'S., 

 149°20'W. Disc, in December 1934 by the ByrdAE
