GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



under De Gerlache. The name appears on a map 

 based on a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the 

 Discovery. Named after adjacent Lion Island. 



LIONS RUMP, CAPE: conspicuous headland 

 forming the W. side of the entrance to King George 

 Bay, on King George I., in the South Shetland Is.; 

 in 62°08'S., 58°06'W. Charted and named during 

 1937 by DI personnel on the Discovery II. Not 

 adopted: Cape Lion's Rump. 



LIOTARD, MOUNT: conspicuous ice-covered 

 peak, about 7,300 ft. in el., standing 5 mi. SSE. of 

 Mt. Gaudry and 6 mi. NNE. of Mt. Ditte in the SE. 

 part of Adelaide I.; in 67°37'S., 68°34'W. Disc, and 

 first surveyed in 1909 by the FrAE under Charcot. 

 Resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS and named by 

 them for Andre F. Liotard, French observer with 

 FIDS in 1947-48 and leader of the French Antarctic 

 Expedition to Adelie Coast, 1949-51. 



LIOTARD GLACIER : channel glacier about 3 mi. 

 wide and 6 mi. long, flowing NNE. from the con- 

 tinental ice and terminating in a small tongue 

 about 4 mi. W. of Helena It., the W. extremity of 

 Geologic Arch., on Adelie Coast; in about 66°37'S., 

 139°32'E. Delineated from aerial photographs 

 taken by USN Op. Hjp., 1946-47, and named by the 

 US-AC AN for Andre-Frank Liotard, leader of the 

 FrAE, 1949-51, whose group completed the initial 

 survey of the coastal features as far westward as 

 this glacier. Liotard previously served as observer 

 on the John Biscoe during the 1947-48 relief and 

 establishment of FIDS meteorological bases, and 

 as leader of the FrAE, 1948-49, which was unable 

 to penetrate the pack ice off Adelie Coast. Not 

 adopted: Ebba Glacier. 



LIPPMANN ISLET: conical snow-capped islet, 

 about 2 mi. N. of the W. end of Lahille I. and 5 mi. 

 NW. of Nuiiez Pt., off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; 

 in 65°30'S., 64°26'W. Disc, by the FrAE under 

 Charcot, 1903-5, who named it for Gabriel Lipp- 

 mann, French physicist and Nobel Prize winner 

 in 1908. 



LISTER, MOUNT: massive mountain terminat- 

 ing in a sharp peak about 13,350 ft. in el., in the 

 Royal Society Range, W. of McMurdo Sound, along 

 the W. shore of Ross Sea; in about 78°05'S., 

 163°00'E. Disc, by the BrNAE under Scott in 

 January 1902, and named for Lord Joseph Lister, 

 Pres. of the Royal Soc, 1895-1900. 



LITTLE, CAPE: cape forming the S. side of the 

 entrance to Wright Inlet, on the E. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 74°05'S., 61°03'W. Probably seen from 

 the air by members of the USAS who photographed 

 Wright Inlet in December 1940. Photographed 

 from the air during 1947 by the RARE under Ronne, 



who in conjunction with the FIDS charted it from 

 the ground. Named by Ronne for Delbert M. Little, 

 Asst. Chief for Operations, U. S. Weather Bureau, 

 who arranged the program for sending weather re- 

 ports from the RARE. Not adopted: Cape Easson. 



LITTLE AMERICA: the base used by the five 

 U. S. expeditions led by R. Adm. Richard E. Byrd, 

 USN (Ret.) . Little America I. the base used by the 

 ByrdAE, 1929-30, and Little America II, the new 

 base built by the Byrd AE, 1933-35, were established 

 about 1 mi. inside Ver-sur-Mer Inlet, Bay of Whales, 

 about 80 ft. above sea level on the Ross Ice Shelf; 

 in about 78°40'S., 164°03'W. Little America III, 

 also known as West Base of the USAS, 1939-41, 

 was established about 5 mi. NE. on the E. side of 

 the Bay of Whales; in about 78°35'S., 163°52'W. 

 Little America IV, the base used by the central 

 task force of USN Op. Hjp., 1946-47, was estab- 

 lished about 2 mi. NNW. of the USAS base; in about 

 78°33'S., 163°56'W. The latter base was destroyed 

 by calving of the front of Ross Ice Shelf during the 

 1948-55 period and was reported non-existent in 

 January 1955. Little America V, the main base of 

 USN Operation Deepfreeze, 1955-56, was estab- 

 lished about 30 mi. NE. at Kainan Bay; in about 

 78°14'S., 161°50'W. 



Little Bucht: see Doris Bay; Saint Andrews Bay. 



Little Glacier: see Kelsey Glacier. 



LITTLE JASON LAGOON: an almost circular 

 lagoon, about 0.4 mi. in diameter, lying at the head 

 of Jason Hbr. to which it is connected by a narrow 

 cut, in Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia; in 

 54°11'S., 36°36'W. The name Little Jason was in 

 use at South Georgia prior to 1920. The feature 

 was surveyed in 1929 by DI personnel, who named 

 it Nogood Lagoon because a motor boat could not 

 get through the entrance. The SGS, 1951-52, re- 

 ported that the feature is still known locally as 

 Little Jason or (in Norwegian) "Lille Jason." In 

 order to indicate the nature of the feature, and 

 at the same time to conform with local usage, the 

 name Little Jason Lagoon is approved. Not 

 adopted: Lille Jason [Norwegian)], Little Jason, 

 Nogood Lagoon. 



LITTLE MOLTKE HARBOR: small bay, entered 

 between Pirner Pt. and the ice cliffs of Ross Gl., 

 lying 1 mi. S. of Moltke Harbor in the W. side of 

 Royal Bay, South Georgia; in 54°32'S., 36°05'W. 

 First surveyed by a Ger. exp., 1882-83, under Schra- 

 der. The name Little Moltke, derived from the 

 nearby Moltke Harbor, is used for this feature by 

 the sealers in South Georgia. The full name. 

 Little Moltke Harbor, is approved in order to indi- 

 cate the nature of the feature. Not adopted: Little 

 Moltke.
