GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



48, under Ronne, who named it for Cdr. Gerald 

 Ketchum, USN, commander of the icebreaker Bur- 

 ton Island which broke the ice to free the RARE 

 from Marguerite Bay for the return home. Not 

 adopted : Gardner Glacier, Irvine Gardner Glacier. 



KEYHOLE ISLET: small rocky islet lying 5 mi. 

 SE. of the Terra Firma Is. and 0.75 mi. N. of the ice 

 cliffs of Cape Berteaux, off the W. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 68°47'S., 67°20'W. First surveyed in 1948 

 by the FIDS, who applied this name because of the 

 presence of an ice arch formed by the ice cap on 

 this islet. 



KEYSTONE CLIFFS: cliffs, about 2,000 ft. in el., 

 marking the E. face of the sedimentary ridge be- 

 tween Mercury and Venus Glaciers, on the E. 

 coast of Alexander I. Island; in 71°35'S., 68°13'W. 

 The coast in this vicinity was first seen from the 

 air and partially photographed by Lincoln Ells- 

 worth on Nov. 23, 1935. The cliffs were roughly 

 surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill, and 

 resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS. So named by 

 FIDS because the geologic structures revealed in 

 these cliffs provided the key to the general tectonic 

 structure of the area. 



KIDSON, CAPE: abrupt rock scarp about 1,000 

 ft. in el., forming the N. side of the entrance to 

 New Bedford Inlet, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; 

 in 73°24'S., 60°45'W. First sighted and photo- 

 graphed from the air by members of the USAS in 

 1940. During 1947 the cape was photographed 

 from the air by the RARE, who in conjunction 

 with the FIDS charted it from the ground. Named 

 by the FIDS for Edward Kidson, New Zealand 

 meteorologist and author of the meteorological 

 reports of the BrAE under Shackleton, 1907-9, and 

 the AAE under Mawson, 1911-14. 



KIDSON ISLAND: island about 300 ft. in el., 

 lying NNE. of the Colbeck Arch., off Mac-Robertson 

 Coast; in about 67°10'S., 61°09'E. Disc, in Febru- 

 ary 1931 by the BANZARE under Mawson, and 

 named by him for Edward Kidson. Not adopted: 

 Kidston Island. 



Kidston Island: see Kidson Island. 



Kiffin, Mount: see Kyffin, Mount. 



KILLER RIDGE: dark ridge about 4,000 ft. in 

 el., standing at the N. side of Miller Gl. in the W. 

 part of the Gonville and Caius Range, in Victoria 

 Land; in about 77°08'S., 161°57'E. Charted by the 

 BrAE, 1910-13, under Scott, and named after the 

 killer whale whose outline the ridge is said to 

 resemble. 



Kilpatrick, Mount: see Earkpatrick, Mount. 



KING, MOUNT: flat-topped, mainly ice-covered 

 mountain, about 6,200 ft. in el., standing between 

 Sedgwick and Tumble Glaciers and connected by 

 an ice-covered spur to the Douglas Range to the 

 W., on the E. coast of Alexander I Island; in 

 69°53'S., 69°26'W. First roughly surveyed in 1936 

 by the BGLE under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 

 by the FIDS, and named by them for William 

 B. R. King, prof, of geology at Cambridge Uni- 

 versity. 



KING EDWARD COVE: sheltered cove imme- 

 diately S. of Mt. Duse, in the W. side of Cumber- 

 land East Bay, South Georgia; in 54°17'S., 36°30'W. 

 This cove, frequented by early sealers at South 

 Georgia, was charted by the SwedAE, 1901-4, 

 under Nordenskjold. It was named in about 1906 

 for King Edward VII of England. Not adopted: 

 King Edward's Cove. 



KING EDWARD POINT: low point projecting 

 from the N. side of King Edward Cove toward the 

 central part of the cove, on the W. side of Cumber- 

 land East Bay, South Georgia; in 54°17'S., 36°30'W. 

 Charted by the SwedAE, 1901-4, under Norden- 

 skjold. It was named in about 1906 for King Ed- 

 ward VII of England. Not adopted: Edwards 

 Point, King Edwards Point, King Edward's Point. 



King Edward VIII Gulf: see Edward VIII Bay. 



King Edward VII Land; King Edward VII Pen- 

 insula: see Edward VII Peninsula. 



KING GEORGE BAY: bay indenting the S. 

 coast of King George I. for about 4 mi., in the 

 South Shetland Is.; in about 62°05'S., 58°05'W. 

 Named on Jan. 24, 1820 for the then reigning 

 sovereign of England by a Br. exp. under Brans- 

 field. Not adopted: Bale St. Georges [French], 

 Georges Bay, St. George's Bay.

KING HAAKON BAY: bay, about 3 mi. wide 

 and receding NE. about 5 mi., lying 1 mi. N. of
