GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



INNER LEE ISLET: islet about 0.8 mi. NNE. of 

 Luck Pt., lying in the Bay of Isles, South Georgia; 

 in 54°02'S., 37°16'W. Charted in 1912-13 by Rob- 

 ert Cushman Murphy, American naturalist aboard 

 the brig Daisy, who included it as one of two 

 islets which he called the Lee Islands. These 

 islets were recharted in 1929-30 by DI personnel, 

 who renamed the southwestern of these two islets 

 Inner Lee Islet. The northeastern islet is now 

 known as Outer Lee Islet. Not adopted: Inner Lee 

 Island, Lee Islands. 



INNES-TAYLOR, MOUNT: tabular mountain, 

 about 8,500 ft. in el., standing at the S. side of 

 Poulter Gl., where it joins the W. side of Robert 

 Scott GL, near the S. edge of the Queen Maud 

 Range; in about 86°51'S., 153°35'W. Disc, in De- 

 cember 1934 by the ByrdAE geological party under 

 Quin Blackburn, and named by Byrd for Capt. 

 Alan Innes-Taylor, who served with the exp. as 

 chief of trail operations. 



Innes-Taylor Inlet: see Nantucket Inlet. 



Innfjorden: see William Scoresby Bay. 



Inseln, Bucht der: see Isles, Bay of. 



INTERCURRENCE ISLAND: island about 4.5 

 mi. long, being the largest of the Christiania Is., 

 lying about 9 mi. ENE. of Liege I. at the NE. end 

 of the Palmer Arch.; in 63°55'S., 61°24'W. Though 

 the origin of this name is unknown, it has appeared 

 on maps for over a hundred years and its usage 

 has been established internationally. 



Interior, Puerto: see Inner Harbor. 



INVERLEITH HARBOR: small bay between An- 

 drews Pt. and Briggs Pt. along the NE. coast of 

 Anvers I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 64°32'S., 63°00'W. 

 Presumably disc, by whalers working in this area 

 and named Inverleith or Leith Harbor. The name 

 Inverleith Harbor, "inver" meaning the place of 

 meeting of rivers or where a river falls into the 

 sea or lake, is recommended because the name 

 Leith Harbor is used elsewhere in the Antarctic. 

 Leith, Scotland is the home of Salvesen and Co., 

 a whaling firm which has operated extensively in 

 Antarctic waters. Not adopted: Leith Harbor 

 (q.v.). 



INVISIBLE ISLET: small, tussock grass covered 

 islet, lying close SE. of Crescent It. and MoUyhawk 

 It. in the Bay of Isles, South Georgia; in 54°01'S., 

 37°19'W. Charted in 1912-13, by Robert Cushman 

 Murphy, American naturalist aboard the brig 

 Daisy. Named Invisible Island, probably by DI 

 personnel who surveyed the Bay of Isles in 1929-30. 

 The name Invisible Islet is approved because of the 



small size of the feature. Not adopted: Invisible 

 Island. 



Iota, Isla: see Peace Islet. 



IPHIGENE, MOUNT: mountain lying W. of Ochs 

 Gl. between Mt. Marujupu and the Birchall Peaks, 

 at the S. side of Paul Block Bay, in the Edsel Ford 

 Ranges of Marie Byrd Land; in about 76°28'S., 

 145°51'W. Disc, in 1929 by the ByrdAE and 

 named by him for Mrs. Iphigene Ochs Sulzberger, 

 daughter of Adolph Ochs and wife of Arthur Sulz- 

 berger, patrons of the expedition. 



Irene Frazier, Mount: see Frazier, Mount. 



IRIS BAY: small bay along the E. side of South 

 Georgia, lying 6 mi. NW. of Cape Vahsel, along 

 the embayment between Cape Vahsel and Cape 

 Charlotte; in 54°42'S., 35°56'W. The name Sand- 

 wich Bay, after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sand- 

 wich, was given to the whole embayment between 

 Cape Vahsel and Cape Charlotte in 1775 by a Br. 

 exp. under Cook. The name was later restricted 

 on maps to the small bay described, since a name 

 for the large embayment was not considered use- 

 ful. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the name 

 Iris Bay for the same feature is well established 

 in use among the whalers and sealers in South 

 Georgia, and that the name Sandwich Bay is un- 

 known locally. The name Iris Bay is approved in 

 order to conform with local usage. Not adopted: 

 Sandwich Bay. 



IRIZAR, CAPE: bold rocky headland forming 

 the N. end of Lamplugh I., along the coast of Vic- 

 toria Land; in about 75°36'S., 163°02'E. Disc, by 

 the BrNAE, 1901-4, under Scott, who named it 

 for Capt. Julian Irizar, of the Argentine naval 

 vessel Uruguay, who rescued the shipwrecked 

 SwedAE, 1901-3, under Nordenskjold. 



Irizar Island: see Jonassen Island. 



IRIZAR ISLAND: islet about 0.5 mi. long, lying 

 0.5 mi. NE. of Uruguay I. at the NE. end of the 

 Argentine Is., off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 65°13'S., 64°13'W. Disc, by the FrAE, 1903-5, 

 under Charcot, and named by him for Capt. Julian 

 Irizar, Argentine Navy. The islet was roughly 

 charted in 1935 by the BGLE under Rymill. 



Irvine Gardner Glacier: see Ketchum Glacier. 



IRVINE GLACIER: large glacier flowing in a 

 southerly direction to a point just N. of Gardner 

 Inlet, where it skirts a low ridge along the NE. 

 side of Wetmore Glacier. From this point Irvine 

 Glacier flows in a parallel but slightly lower course 

 to Wetmore Glacier, the two merging at the head
