GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



KEMP, CAPE: cape forming the SW. tip of 

 Doumer I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 64°52'S., 

 63"39'W. Disc, and first charted by the FrAE, 

 1903-5, under Charcot. Various islands of the 

 Palmer Arch, were charted in 1927 by DI personnel 

 on the Discovery, and this cape was subsequently 

 named for Stanley W. Kemp, British marine biol- 

 ogist and oceanographer, and scientific leader on 

 the Discovery. 



Kemp, Mount: see Kempe, Mount. 



KEMP COAST : that portion of the coast of Ant- 

 arctica that lies between the head of Edward VIII 

 Bay, location not precisely determined but in about 

 67°10'S., 56°00'E., and William Scoresby Bay, in 

 about 67°25'S., 59°40'E. Named for a British seal- 

 ing captain, Peter Kemp, who disc, land in this 

 vicinity in 1833. Not adopted: Kemp Land. 



KEMPE, MOUNT: peak about 9,800 ft. in el., 

 lying SE. of Mt. Huggins, in the Royal Society 

 Range, on the W. side of the Ross Sea; in about 

 78°21'S., 162°47'E. Disc, by the BrNAE, 1901-4, 

 under Scott, who named it for Sir Alfred Bray 

 Kempe, at that time Treasurer of the Royal Society. 

 Not adopted: Mount Kemp. 



Kemp Land: see Kemp Coast. 



Kemp Peak: see Stanley Kemp Peak. 



KEMP PENINSULA: irregular ice-covered pen- 

 insula about 25 mi. long in a N.-S. direction and 

 12 mi. wide. The peninsula rises gently to about 

 1,000 ft. in el. and projects E. between the heads 

 of Mason and Mossman Inlets, on the E. coast of 

 Palmer Pen.; in 73°08'S., 60°15'W. First seen 

 from the air in December 1940 by members of the 

 US AS, who at that time photographed all but its 

 N. extremity. During 1947 it was photographed 

 from the air by the RARE, who in conjunction with 

 the FIDS charted it from the ground. Named by 

 the FIDS for Stanley W. Kemp, British marine 

 biologist and oceanographer, first Dir. of Research 

 of the Discovery Investigations, 1924-36, and Dir. 

 of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, 1936-45. 



KENDALL ROCKS : group of pillar-shaped rocks 

 about 3 mi. NNE. of Tower I., lying in Bransfield 

 Str.; in 63°28'S., 59°49'W. The name Kendall 

 Group appears NW. of this position on a chart 

 based upon work by a Br. exp., 1828-31, under 

 Foster, but it was later found that no islets exist 

 there. The name Kendall Rocks has subsequently 

 been applied to these pillar-shaped rocks disc, in 

 1838 by a Fr. exp. under D'Urville. Named for Lt. 

 E. N. Kendall of Foster's exp. ship, the Chanticleer. 



KENNEDY, CAPE : point forming the E. extrem- 

 ity of Melba Pen.; on Queen Mary Coast; in about 

 66°32'S., 98°25'E. Disc, by the Eastern Party, 

 under Frank Wild, operating from the Western 

 Base of the AAE, 1911-14, under Mawson. Named 

 for A. L. Kennedy, magnetician at the Western 

 Base and cartographer for the Eastern Party. 



Kennedy, Mount: see Kennedy Peak. 



KENNEDY, MOUNT: small bare peak about 

 1,800 ft. in el., standing about 2 mi. S. of Mt. 

 Rivett in the Gustav Bull Mtns., on Mac-Robertson 

 Coast; in about 67°51'S., 66°13'E. The BANZARE, 

 under Mawson, sighted land in this area in early 

 January 1930 and an airplane flight was made 

 from the ship for observation. The exp. returned 

 to the area on Feb. 13, 1931, making a landing at 

 Scullin Monolith. They named this peak pre- 

 sumably for A. L. Kennedy who did special physi- 

 cal research with the exp. during 1930-31. 



KENNEDY PEAK : small peak protruding above 

 the continental ice about 3 mi. SSW. of Mt. Barr 

 Smith, standing at the W. side of Scott Gl. on 

 Queen Mary Coast; in about 67°14'S., 99°00'E. 

 Delineated from aerial photographs taken by USN 

 Op. Hjp., 1946-47, and named by the US-ACAN 

 for A. L. Kennedy, cartographer with the AAE 

 Western Base party, in recognition of the close 

 correlation of his 1912-13 running survey of the 

 E. half of the Queen Mary Coast with the US-ACAN 

 map of 1955 compiled from aerial photographs. 

 Not adopted: Mount Kennedy (q.v.). 



KENNETT RAWSON, MOUNT: prominent pro- 

 jecting corner point on the massif surmounted by 

 Mt. Alice Gade, standing between Isaiah Bowman 

 Gl. and Moffett Gl. in the Queen Maud Range; in

 80°10'S., 160°20'E. Disc, by the BrNAE, 1901-4,
