GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



KLEBELSBERG GLACIER: glacier, about 3 mi. 

 wide and 10 mi. long, situated at the S. side of 

 Finsterwalder Gl. and flowing NW. from the central 

 plateau of Palmer Pen. towards Lallemand Fjord; 

 in about 67°23'S., 66°19'W. First surveyed from 

 the plateau in 1946-47 by the FIDS, and named by 

 them for Raimund von Klebelsberg, Austrian 

 glaciologist. 



Kleine Pic: see Nachtigal Peak. 



KLEINSCHMIDT PEAK: peak about 10,500 ft. 

 in el., on the SW. flank of Penck Trough, imme- 

 diately N. of the edge of the polar plateau, in New 

 Schwabenland; in about 73°55'S., 3°45'W. Disc, 

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

 for Dr. Ernst Kleinschmidt, dir. of the division of 

 meteorology of the Deutsche Seewarte (German 

 Hydrographic Office) in Hamburg. Not adopted: 

 Heksegryta [Norwegian] . 



KLOVSTAD, CAPE : bold cape lying between the 

 Murray and Newnes Glaciers at the S. extremity 

 of Robertson Bay, in northern Victoria Land; in 

 about 71°39'S., 170°08'E. First charted in 1899 

 by the BrAE under C. E. Borchgrevink, who named 

 it for Dr. Herlof Klovstad, medical officer on the 

 exp. staff. 



KLUTSCHAK POINT: rocky headland about 3 

 mi. SE. of Cape Demidov on the S. coast of South 

 Georgia; in 54°10'S., 37°43'W. The coast in this 

 vicinity was roughly charted in 1775 by a Br. exp. 

 under Cook, and in 1819 by a Russ. exp. under 

 Bellingshausen. The point itself appears on charts 

 dating back to about 1900. The point was named 

 by the Br-APC, following a survey by the SGS, 

 1951-52, for Heinrich W. Klutschak, Austrian 

 artist who accompanied the American sealing 

 schooner Flying Fish to South Georgia in 1877-78 

 and published a narrative of his activities with a 

 sketch map in 1881. 



KNIFE POINT: point on the S. side of Borge Bay, 

 about 0.1 mi. SE. of Mooring Pt., on the E. side of 

 Signy I., in the South Orkney Is.; in 60°43'S., 

 45°36'W. The name appears, on a chart based on 

 a 1927 survey of Borge Bay by DI personnel on the 

 Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming. 



KNIGHT ROCKS: two small rocks, about 1 mi. 

 apart, which lie nearly 3 mi. off the SW. coast of 

 Snow I., South Shetland Is.; in 62°49'S., 61°35'W. 

 So named by the Br-APC, following survey by Lt. 

 Cdr. F. W. Hunt, RN, in 1951-52, because of their 

 proximity to nearby Castle Rock. 



KNOB, THE: conspicuous dome-shaped rock 

 about 130 ft. in el., at the W. side of Elsehul, on the 

 N. coast of South Georgia; in 54°6l'S., 37°59'W. 



The feature was charted and given this descriptive 

 name by DI personnel in 1930. 



KNOBHEAD: mountain about 8,300 ft. in el., 

 lying S. of the W. end of Kukri Hills and overlook- 

 ing Ferrar Gl. and Taylor Gl. at their point of 

 apposition, in Victoria Land; in about 77°55'S., 

 161°40'E. Disc, by the BrNAE, 1901-4, under Scott, 

 who so named it because of its appearance. Not 

 adopted: Knob Head Mountain, Knobhead Moun- 

 tain. 



Knobhead Mountain: see Knobhead. 



KNOB POINT: the SW. tip of Vindication I., in 

 the South Sandwich Is.; in 57°04'S., 26°47'W. 

 Charted in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery

 height of land overlooks the point. 



KNOLL, THE: snow-free knoll about 1,200 ft. in 

 el., surmounting Cape Crozier at the E. extremity of 

 Ross I.; in about 77°29'S., 169°33'E. Disc, and 

 named by the BrNAE, 1901-4, under Scott.

 Disc, by members of East Base of the USAS in 

 1940. Named for Paul H. Knowles, geologist and 

 leader of the East Base sledging party that surveyed 

 this coast as far S. as Hilton Inlet. 



KNOX COAST: that portion of the coast of Ant- 

 arctica lying between Cape Hordern, in about 

 100°26'E., and the Hatch Islets, in about 109°42'E. 

 Disc, in February 1840 by the USEE under Wilkes,

 rising to about 15,000 ft. in el., standing S. of the 

 base of Martin Pen. and estimated as extending for 

 some 80 mi. in E.-W. direction on Walgreen Coast; 

 in about 75°45'S., 111°30'E. Disc, from a distance 

 on Feb. 24, 1940 by R. Adm. Byrd and other mem-
