GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



in 1946, it was found that no cape exists. The 

 name Huon, however, is retained for the shallow 

 bay which lies in the same area. 



HURLEY, CAPE: cape marking the E. side of the 

 mouth of the depression occupied by Mertz Gl., on 

 George V Coast; in about 67°37'S., 145°20'E. Disc, 

 in 1912 by the AAE under Mawson, who named it 

 for James Francis Hurley, official photographer at 

 the AAE Main Base. 



HURLEY, MOUNT: snow-covered massif with 

 steep bare slopes on the W. side, lying SW. of Cape 

 Ann immediately behind the coast, in Enderby 

 Land; in about 66°18'S., 51°10'E. Disc, in Janu- 

 ary 1930 by the BANZARE, 1929-31, under Mawson, 

 who probably named it for Capt. Frank (James 

 Francis) Hurley, photographer with the exp. Hur- 

 ley also served with the AAE under Mawson, 1911- 

 14, and a Br. exp. under Shackleton, 1914-17. 



HUSVIK: whaling station at the head of Husvik 

 Hbr., which is entered on the S. side of Stromness 

 Bay, on the N. coast of South Georgia; in 54°10'S., 

 36°43'W. Named in about 1912, probably by mem- 

 bers of the T0nsberg Hvalfangeri, a Norwegian 

 whaling company based there. 



HUSVIK HARBOR: southernmost of three har- 

 bors at the head of Stromness Bay, along the N. 

 coast of South Georgia; in 54°10'S., 36°40'W. The 

 name dates back to about 1912, and was probably 

 given by Norwegian whalers who frequented the 

 harbor and established a whahng station at its 

 head. Not adopted: Busen Fjord, Huisvik Hafen 

 [German] . 



HUT COVE: small cove in the E. side of Hope 

 Bay, entered from the N. between Seal Pt. and 

 Grunden Rocks, at the NE. end of Palmer Pen.; 

 in 63°24'S., 56°59'W. Disc, by a party under Dr. 

 J. Gunnar Andersson of the SwedAE, 1901-4, who 

 wintered at Hope Bay in 1903. So named in 1945 

 by the FIDS, because they, like the SwedAE, 

 established a base hut on the S. shore of this 

 cove. 



HUT POINT: small point lying about 1.2 mi. 

 NW. of Cape Armitage, at the S. end of Hut Point 

 Pen., Ross I.; in about 77°51'S., 166°37'E. Disc, 

 and named by the BrNAE under Scott, 1901-4, 

 which established headquarters on this point. 



HUT POINT PENINSULA: long narrow penin- 

 sula from 2 to 3 mi. wide and about 12 mi. long, 

 projecting SSW. from the slopes of Mt. Erebus on 

 Ross I., and forming the SE. shore of Erebus Bay, 

 in about 77°47'S., 166°48'E. The BrNAE under 

 Scott, 1901-4, built its hut on Hut Pt. at the S. 



end of the peninsula. Members of the BrAE under 

 Scott, 1910-13, wintering on Cape Evans and often 

 using the hut during their journeys, came to refer 

 to this feature as Hut Point Peninsula. Not 

 adopted: Cape Armitage Promontory, Winter 

 Quarters Peninsula. 



Hvalbugten: see Whale Bay. 



Hval Bukta: see Whales, Bay of. 



Hvalskjaer; Hvalskjaerene: see Whale Skerries. 



Hvit oen: see White Island. 



HYPERION NUNATAKS: group of about eight 

 nunataks lying S. of Saturn Glacier and about 9 

 mi. W. of Corner Cliffs, in the SE. part of Alexander 

 I Island; in 72°04'S., 68°54'W. These nunataks 

 were first seen and photographed from the air by 

 Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, and were 

 mapped from these photographs by W. L. G. Joerg. 

 They were surveyed in 1949 by the FIDS, and so 

 named by them because of their association with 

 Saturn Glacier; Hyperion being one of the satel- 

 lites of Saturn. 



ICE BAY: long embayment about 30 mi. wide 

 in the coast of Enderby Land; in about 67°45'S., 

 50°00'E. Disc, and named by a Nor. exp. under 

 Riiser-Larsen, on Jan. 15, 1930. Not adopted: 

 Amundsen Bay, Isfjorden [Norwegian]. 



Ice Bay: see Ice Fjord. 



ICEBERG BAY: bay about 3 mi. wide, which 

 indents the S. coast of Coronation I. between Cape 

 Hansen and Olivine Pt., in the South Orkney Is.; 

 in 60°40°S., 45°33'W. Named by Matthew Bris- 

 bane, who roughly charted the S. coast of Coro- 

 nation I. under the direction of James Weddell 

 in 1823. 



ICEBERG POINT: prominent cliff about 8 mi. 

 WSW. of Van Ryswyck Pt., on the SE. coast of 

 Anvers I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 64°38'S., 63°04'W. 

 This portion of Anvers I. was first explored by the 

 BelgAE 1897-99, under De Gerlache. The name 

 appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by 

 DI personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect an 

 earlier naming. 



ICE FJORD: inlet about 1 mi. wide which 

 recedes NE. about 2.5 mi., lying 2 mi. N. of Wilson 

 Hbr., along the S. coast and near the W. end of 

 South Georgia; in 54°04'S., 37°46'W. The name 

 dates back to at least 1920 and is now well estab- 

 lished in international usage. Not adopted: Ice 

 Bay.
