supporters of the ByrdAE, 1933-35, and who helped 

 furnish the seaplane from which the discovery was 

 made. Not adopted: Mount X-ray, Walter Kohler 

 Range, X-ray Range. 



KOHL-LARSEN PLATEAU: ice-covered plateau, 

 over 2,500 ft. in el., lying W. of the head of Neu- 

 mayer Gl. and N. of the W. end of Allardyce Range, 

 in the central part of South Georgia; in 54°14'S., 

 36°59'W. The plateau was disc, and first roughly 

 indicated on a map by Ludwig Kohl-Larsen during 

 his 1929-30 expedition. It was surveyed and 

 named for its discoverer by the SGS, 1951-52. 



Kong Edward VII Land; Konig Edward VII Land: 

 see Edward VII Peninsula. 



Kong George V-Land: see George V. Coast. 



Kong Leopold og Dronning Astrid Land: see Leo- 

 pold and Astrid Coast. 



Kong Oskar II Kuste: see Oscar II Coast. 



Konig George V-Land: see George V Coast. 



Konig Georg Insel: see King George Island. 



KONIG GLACIER: glacier, about 5 mi. long and 

 2 mi. wide, flowing in a northerly direction from 

 the N. side of Neumayer Gl. to the head of Fortuna 

 Bay, South Georgia; in 54°10'S., 36°48'W. First 

 surveyed in 1928-29 by a Ger. exp. under Kohl- 

 Larsen, who named it for Felix Konig, Austrian 

 mountaineer with the German Antarctic Expedi- 

 tion, 1911-12, under Filchner. Not adopted: Dead 

 Glacier. 



Konigin Alexandra Gebirge: see Queen Alexan- 

 dra Range. 



Konigin Maud Bucht: see Queen Maud Bay. 



Konigin Maud Gebirge: see Queen Maud Range. 



Konigin Mary Land: see Queen Mary Coast. 



Konig Oskar II Land: see Oscar II Coast. 



KOPPEN POINT: point marking the NE. side of 

 the entrance to Moltke Hbr. in Royal Bay, South 

 Georgia; in 54°30'S., 36°02'W. The name "Kop- 

 penberg" was originally given by a Ger. exp. under 

 Schrader, 1882-83, to a small hill lying close inland 

 from the point now described, and about 0.5 mi. E. 

 of the German base. It was named for Prof. W. 

 Koppen (1846-1940), noted meteorologist and cli- 

 matologist, who had recommended the establish- 

 ment of a high level observatory near the base. 

 The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the hill is too 

 small and unimportant to require a name, but that 



one is needed for the nearby point. For the sake 

 of historical continuity, the name of Koppen is 

 transferred to this previously unnamed point; the 

 name "Koppenberg" is rejected. 



Koppenberg: see Koppen Point. 



Koppervick: see Koppervik. 



KOPPERVIK: bay about 0.8 mi. wide, lying 1 

 mi. SW. of Cape BuUer, in the NW. side of the 

 Bay of Isles, South Georgia; in 54°00'S., 37°25'W. 

 The name was applied prior to 1930, probably by 

 Norwegian whalers operating at South Georgia. 

 Not adopted: Koppervick. 



KOTTAS MOUNTAINS: mountains about 11,000 

 ft. in el., rising through the icecap at the N. edge 

 of the polar plateau and about at the head of 

 Penck Trough, in the W. part of New Schwaben- 

 land; in about 74°05'S., 8°30'W. Disc, by the 

 GerAE, 1938-39, under Ritscher, and named for 

 Alfred Kottas, captain of the exp. vessel Schwaben- 

 land. 



K. Prestrud, Mount: see Prestrud, Mount. 



Kraterbucht: see Crater Bay. 



KRAUL MOUNTAINS: major mountain range, 

 about 8,000 ft. in el., projecting northward from 

 the polar plateau some 60 mi. toward Cape Nor- 

 vegia, in the W. part of New Schwabenland; center- 

 ing in about 73°00'S., 13°00'W. It bounds on the 

 W. a large broad depression in the icecap that ex- 

 tends E. to the range forming the W. wall of Penck 

 Trough. Disc, by the GerAE, 1938-39, under 

 Ritscher, and named for Otto Kraul, ice pilot of 

 the expedition. 



KRAUSE POINT: low, ice-covered point fronting 

 on Davis Sea close W. of Jones Gl., lying about 

 26 mi. W. of Cape Filchner, on Wilhelm II Coast; 

 in about 66°32'S., 91°15'E. Delineated from aerial 

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

 named by the US-ACAN for Glenn R. Krause, pho- 

 togrammetrist with the Navy Hydrographic Office, 

 who served as surveyor with the USN Op. Wml. 

 parties which established astronomical control sta- 

 tions along Wilhelm II, Knox and Budd Coasts. 



Kreitzer Bay: see Vincennes Bay. 



KREITZER GLACIER: channel glacier about 7 

 mi. wide and of undetermined length, flowing NW. 

 from the continental ice and entering the E. side 

 of Baker Three Gl. between Jennings Promontory 

 and Reinbolt Hills, near the W. end of Ingrid 

 Christensen Coast; in about 70°17'S., 72°45'E. De- 

 lineated in 1952 by John H. Roscoe from aerial
