GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



KAYE CREST: mountain crest about 10,000 ft. 

 in el., lying between Mt. Preuschoff and Mt. Hade- 

 rich at the N. edge of the polar plateau, in New 

 Schwabenland, in about 72°18'S., 4°40'E. Disc, 

 and named by the GerAE under Ritscher, 1938-39. 



KAY ISLETS: group of islets in Ross Sea, lying 

 off Victoria Land, about 19 mi. E. of Cape Sibbald, 

 in about 74°00'S., 167°45'E. Disc, in 1841 by a 

 Br. exp. under Ross, and named for Lt. Joseph W. 

 Kay, Dir. of the Rossbank Observatory. 



KAY NUNATAK: dark rocky nunatak about 

 2,000 ft. in el., situated at the S. side of Mobiloil 

 Inlet and forming the northernmost outlier of the 

 ice-covered mountain mass surmounted by Mt. 

 Hitchcock, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in about 

 68°43'S., 64°40'W. The nunatak was photo- 

 graphed from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins on 

 Dec. 20, 1928, and by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935. 

 Named in 1952 by the US-AC AN for John D. Kay 

 of the American Geographical Soc, who by utiliz- 

 ing these photographs assisted in constructing the 

 first reconnaissance map of this area. 



KEELER, CAPE: ice-covered cape which rises 

 gently northwestward to about 1,700 ft. in el., 

 forming the S. side of the entrance to Revelle 

 Inlet, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 68°51'S., 

 63°13'W. Disc, on Dec. 20, 1928 by Sir Hubert 

 Wilkins, who named it for Fred E. Keeler of the 

 Lockheed Co. An advance base and meteorologi- 

 cal station was established at Cape Keeler by the 

 RARE under Ronne in 1947-48. 



KEEP ROCK: small rock lying close W. of Castle 

 Rock, off the W. extremity of Snow I., South Shet- 

 land Is.; in 62°47'S., 61°37'W. The name, which 

 derives from association with Castle Rock, was 

 given by the Br-APC following survey by Lt. Cdr. 

 F. W. Hunt, RN, in 1951-52. 



Kegel-Berg: see Skittle, Mount. 



KELLER INLET: ice-filled inlet about 10 mi. 

 long, in a NE.-SW. direction, and 6 mi. wide, be- 

 tween Cape Little and Cape Light, along the E. 

 coast of Palmer Pen.; in 74°15'S., 61°05'W. This 

 inlet was photographed from the air by members 

 of the USAS in December 1940, and in 1947 by 

 members of the RARE under Ronne, who in con- 

 junction with the FIDS charted it from the ground. 

 Named by Ronne for Louis Keller of Beaumont, 

 Texas, who contributed supplies to Ronne's expe- 

 dition. 



KELLER RANGE: mountain mass about 1,900 

 ft. in el., forming the promontory between Mac- 

 kellar and Martel Inlets in Admiralty Bay, on King 



George I. in the South Shetland Is.; in 62°03'S., 

 58°26'W. Probably named by the FrAE under 

 Charcot, who charted Admiralty Bay in Decem- 

 ber 1909. 



KELP BAY: small open bay, close ESE. of Doris 

 Bay, on the N. coast of South Georgia; 54°27'S., 

 36°07'W. It is filled with kelp and there is no 

 anchorage. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the 

 name is well established in use among the South 

 Georgia sealers. 



KELP POINT: point fringed by kelp, marking 

 the SE. side of the entrance to Husvik Hbr., the 

 southern arm of Stromness Bay, on the N. coast 

 of South Georgia; in 54°10'S., 36°38'W. Charted 

 and named by DI personnel in the period 1926-30. 



KELSEY GLACIER: glacier flowing E. along the 

 S. side of Mt. Owen to the head of Nantucket Inlet, 

 on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 74°27'S., 62°25'W. 

 Disc, by the RARE, 1947-48, under Ronne, who 

 named it for Lawrence D. Kelsey, radio operator 

 with the expedition. Not adopted: Delbert Little 

 Glacier, D. M. Little Glacier, Little Glacier. 



KELTIE, CAPE: ice-covered cape marking the 

 N. point of land on Clarie Coast, lying about 9 mi. 

 WNW. of Cape Cesney; in about 65°55'S., 133°30'E. 

 Disc, in January 1912 from the Aurora by AAE per- 

 sonnel under Mawson, and roughly charted at a 

 distance of about 10 mi. as lying in 66°05'S., 

 133°00'E. Named by Mawson for Sir John Scott 

 Keltie, Sec. of the Royal Geographical Soc, 1892- 

 1915. Identification of Cape Keltie is based upon 

 the correlation of the northernmost coastal ex- 

 tremity on the AAE map with the US-ACAN 

 reconnaissance map of 1955 compiled from aerial 

 photographs taken by USN Op. Hjp., 1946-47. As 

 no landings or coastal surveys have been made 

 along this coast, the 1955 interpretation of Cape 

 Keltie is adopted because of photographic conti- 

 nuity with established features at the W. end of 

 Adelie Coast. 



KELTIE, MOUNT: mountain in the Conway 

 Range, about 8,900 ft. in el., lying SW of Mulock 

 Inlet, on the W. side of Ross Ice Shelf; In about 

 79°16'S., 159°20'E. Disc, by the BrNAE, 1901-4, 

 under Scott, who named it for Sir John Scott 

 Keltie. 



Keltie Glacier: see Scott Keltie Glacier. 



KELTIE GLACIER: tributary glacier entering 

 the E. side of Beardmore Gl. about 10 mi. N. of Mill 

 Gl.; in about 84°50'S., 171°00'E. Disc, by the 

 BrAE, 1907-9, under Shackleton, who named it for 

 Sir John Scott Keltie.
