GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



JONES RIDGE: small rock ridge, marked by a 

 sharp peak at its seaward end, protruding above 

 the lower reaches of Denman Gl. near the point 

 where the glacier enters Robinson Bay, on Queen 

 Mary Coast; in about 66°42'S., 99°19'E. Disc, by 

 the Western Base Party of the AAE under Mawson, 

 1911-14, who applied the name Cape Jones, be- 

 lieving the feature marked the W. end of the promi- 

 nent rock cliffs at the E. side of Denman Gl. Dr. 

 S. E. Jones served as medical officer at the Western 

 Base and as leader of the party which extended 

 exploration W. to Gaussberg. The name Jones 

 Ridge was reassigned on the US-ACAN map of 

 1955, compiled from aerial photographs taken by 

 USN Op. Hjp. in February 1947, because a substan- 

 tial portion of the Denman Gl. flowage separates 

 this feature from the rock cliffs to the east. Not 

 adopted: Cape Jones. 



JONES ROCKS : group of rock outcrops protrud- 

 ing above the ice-covered cape at the E. side of the 

 entrance to the Bay of Winds, on Queen Mary 

 Coast; in about 66°34'S., 97°45'E. Charted by the 

 AAE, 1911-14, under Mawson, and named by him 

 for Dr. S. Evan Jones, medical officer with the 

 Western Base party.

 Freshfield along George V Coast; in about 68°30'S.,
