GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



LOCKYER ISLAND : island about 5 mi. long and 

 3 mi. wide, lying off the S. shore of James Ross I. 

 in the SW. entrance to Admiralty Sound; in 

 64°27'S., 57°36'W. It was named Cape Lockyer 

 by Capt. James Clark Ross on Jan. 7, 1843 at the 

 request of Capt. Francis R. M. Crozier, in honor 

 of the latter's friend Capt. Nicholas Lockyer, RN. 

 The cape was proven to be an island by the 

 SwedAE under Nordenskjold in 1902. 



LODGE ROCK: low, snow-capped rock, less than 

 100 ft. in el., between Barn Rock and Hayrick It. 

 in the Terra Firma Is., off the W. coast of Palmer 

 Penn.; in 68°42'S., 67°32'W. The Terra Firma Is. 

 were first visited and surveyed in 1936 by the 

 BGLE under Rymill. This rock was surveyed in 

 1948 by the FIDS, and so named by them because 

 a low ledge onto which sledges could be driven 

 provided lodgment clear of the sea ice pressure 

 area. 



LOESENER PLATFORM: fiat-topped mountain 

 platform lying N. of the Preuschoff Range and W. 

 of the Gablenz Range, in New Schwabenland; in 

 about 71°50'S., 4°00'E. Disc, by the GerAE under 

 Filchner, 1938-39, and named for Kurt Loesener, 

 airplane mechanic on the Boreas, one of the flying 

 boats used by the expedition.

 surmounts Point Lola at the E. side of the entrance 

 to Uruguay Cove, on the N. coast of Laurie I., 

 in the South Orkney Is.; in 60°44'S., 44°43'W. The 

 name appears on an Argentine Govt, chart of 1930, 

 based upon surveys by two Argentine naval officers, 

 I. Espindola in the Uruguay in 1915 and A. Rod- 

 riguez in the Primero de Mayo in 1930.

 de Mayo in 1930.

 Cape Paryadin, along the S. coast and near the 

 W. end of South Georgia; in 54°03'S., 38°01'W. 

 Charted and named by DI personnel during sur-

 of the E. end of Nelson I., in the South Shetland 

 Is.; in 62°20'S., 58°51'W. Charted by DI personnel 

 on the Discovery II in 1935, and given this descrip-

LONE ROCK: low, isolated rock about 50 yards 

 long, lying about 4 mi. N. of Cape Gage, James 

 Ross I., on the W. margin of Erebus and Terror

 about 67°12'S., 110°30'E. Delineated from aerial 

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

 peak is estimated to rise to about 6,500 ft. in el., 

 though compilation of this immediate area was 

 greatly handicapped by dense cloud conditions dur- 

 ing the February 1947 flights in this area. Named 

 by the US-ACAN for Lt. Richard J. Long, USN, 

 pilot with USN Op. Wml., 1947-48, who assisted
