GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



by the USAS in 1940. During 1947 it was photo- 

 graphed from the air by the RARE under Ronne, 

 who in conjunction with the FIDS charted it 

 from the ground. Named by Ronne for Richard 

 Upjohn Light, Pres. of the American Geographical 

 Society. Not adopted: Cape Ketchum. 



LIGHTHOUSE BAY; small bay between Cape 

 Crewe and Point Abrahamsen, forming the N. 

 arm of Cook Bay, along the N. coast of South 

 Georgia; in 54°03'S., 37°08'W. Charted by DI 

 personnel in 1929. Probably so named at that time 

 because a lighthouse (now disused) was located 

 on nearby Sheep Point. 



Lille Jason: see Little Jason Lagoon. 



LILLIE GLACIER TONGUE: glacier tongue, 

 about 125 ft. in el., extending N. from Oates Coast 

 for about 20 mi. between Cape Cheetham and Cape 

 Williams; in about 69°50'S., 163°00'E. Disc, in 

 February 1911 by the BrAE under Scott, when the 

 Terra Nova explored W. of Cape North. Dennis 

 G. Lillie was biologist on the Terra Nova. Not 

 adopted: Lillie Ice Tongue. 



Lillie Ice Tongue: see Lillie Glacier Tongue. 



LIMIT ROCK: rock about 2 mi. E. of North 

 Foreland, the NE. cape of King George I., in the 

 South Shetland Is.; in 61°53'S., 57°36'W. Charted 

 in 1937 by DI personnel on the Discovery II, and 

 probably so named because it marks the E. limit 

 of foul ground surrounding North Foreland. 



LIMPET ISLET: southernmost islet of the 

 Leonie Is., which lie in the entrance to Ryder Bay, 

 close off the SE. coast of Adelaide I.; in 67°38'S., 

 68°19'W. The Leonie Is. were disc, and first 

 roughly surveyed in 1909 by the FrAE under Char- 

 cot. Limpet Islet was surveyed in 1948 by the FIDS 

 and so named by them because of the large num- 

 ber of limpet shells found there. 



Lincoln Ellsworth, Mount: see Ellsworth, Mount. 



LINDBERGH INLET: small inlet about 3 mi. 

 wide and 4 mi. long, which marks a more-or-less 

 permanent indentation in the front, the N. sea- 

 ward edge, of the Ross Ice Shelf, lying approxi- 

 mately midway between Discovery Inlet and the 

 Bay of Whales; in about 78°25'S., 167°00'W. Disc, 

 in January 1902 by the BrNAE under Scott, but 

 it was not named at that time. Recharted and 

 photographed from the air in 1929 by the ByrdAE, 

 and named by R. Adm. Byrd for Col. Charles A. 

 Lindbergh, renowned aviator. This feature was 

 last confirmed by USN Op. Hjp. in January 1947, 

 though the configuration of such indentations is 

 continually changing. 



LINDENBERG ISLAND: circular island about 

 0.75 mi. in diameter, about 11 mi. N. of Robertson 

 I. and some 35 mi. ENE. of Cape Fairweather, off 

 the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 64°55'S., 59°42'W. 

 Disc, by a Nor. whaling exp. under C. A. Larsen 

 in December 1893. Named by Larsen for a mem- 

 ber of the firm of Woltereck and Robertson of 

 Hamburg which sent him to the Antarctic. 



LINDLEY, MOUNT: mountain about 7,300 ft. 

 in el., standing about 22 mi. SSW. of Beaumont 

 Bay and about 25 mi. SE. of Mt. Albert Markham, 

 on the W. side of Ross Ice Shelf; in about 81°45'S., 

 159°15'E. Disc, by the BrNAE under Scott, 1901-4, 

 who named it for Lord Nathaniel Lindley, a member 

 of the committee which made the final draft of the 

 instructions for the expedition. 



Lindsay, Cape: see Lindsey, Cape. 



LINDSEY, CAPE: cape which forms the W. end 

 of Elephant I., in the South Shetland Is.; in about 

 61°08'S., 55°42'W. The name appears on Powell's 

 map published by Laurie in 1882. Not adopted: 

 Cape Lindsay. 



LION GLACIER: glacier descending in a SE. di- 

 rection to Lion Sound, about 11 mi. SW. of Van 

 Ryswyck Pt., on the SE. coast of Anvers I., in the 

 Palmer Arch.; in 64°38'S., 63°11'W. Disc, by the 

 BelgAE, 1897-99, under De Gerlache. The name 

 appears on a map based on a 1927 survey by DI 

 personnel on the Discovery. Named after nearby 

 Lion Island and Lion Sound. 



LION ISLAND: island about 2 mi. long and 1 mi. 

 wide, lying off the E. side of Anvers I. and about 

 2 mi. N. of Cape Astrup, Wiencke I., in the Palmer 

 Arch.; in 64°40'S., 63°08'W. Disc, by the BelgAE, 

 1897-99, under De Gerlache. The name appears 

 on a map based on a 1927 survey by DI personnel 

 on the Discovery. The profile of the island sug- 

 gests a reclining lion when viewed from the south- 

 west. 



LION ISLET: small rocky islet, lying about 0.2 

 mi. NNE. of Petrel I., in the main cluster of islets 

 near the SE. end of Geologic Arch., close N. of 

 Astrolabe Glacier Tongue, off Adelie Coast; in 

 66°39'S., 140°01'E. Photographed from the air by 

 USN Op. Hjp., 1946-47. Charted by the FrAE 

 under Liotard, 1949-51, who established an astro- 

 nomical control station on the islet, and so named 

 because the rocky summit at the SE. end resembles 

 a lion's head. 



LION SOUND: small passage on the W. side of 

 Lion Island, in the shape of an embayment in the 

 SE. coast of Anvers I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 

 64°39'S., 63°09'W. Disc, by the BelgAE, 1897-99,
