GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



appears to have been applied by DI personnel who 

 recharted this area in 1929. 



LONGRIDGE HEAD: headland, about 1,500 ft. 

 in el., marking the S. end of a small coastal ridge 

 which extends 3 mi. northward, standing 5 mi. N. 

 of Cape Saens Pefia on the W. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 67°28'S., 67°38'W. First sighted by mem- 

 bers of the FrAE under Charcot who roughly 

 charted this area in 1909. The name is descrip- 

 tive and was applied by the FIDS who surveyed 

 the headland in 1948. 



LONG ROCK: rock lying in Morton Str., about 

 3 mi. N. of the E. end of Snow I., in the South 

 Shetland Is.; in 62°39'S., 61°15'W. Named by DI 

 personnel on the Discovery II, who charted the 

 intricate passage between Snow and Livingston 

 Islands in 1930-31. 



Long Sound: see Lang Sound. 



LONGSTAFF, MOUNT: mountain with twin 

 peaks, about 10,300 ft. in el., in the Queen Alex- 

 andra Range, standing about 30 mi. SSE. of the 

 mouth of Shackleton Inlet, and about 12 mi. N. 

 of Mt. Lloyd, on the W. side of Ross Ice Shelf; 

 in about 82°58'S., 165°00'E. Disc, by the BrNAE 

 under Scott, 1901-4, who named it for Llewellyn 

 Wood Longstafif, principal contributor to the exp. 

 This was the most southerly high peak seen by 

 Scott on his trip toward the South Pole and for 

 this reason was chosen to commemorate the man 

 whose generous donations made the exp. possible. 



LOOKOUT, CAPE: steep bluff about 800 ft. in 

 el., marking the SE. extremity of Elephant I., in 

 the South Shetland Is.; in about 61°18'S., 55°16'W. 

 The name appears on a map of 1822 by Capt. 

 George Powell, a British sealer, and is nov/ estab- 

 lished international usage. 



Loqui, Cap: see Garcia, Cape. 



LOQUI POINT: point which marks the S. side 

 of the entrance to Barilari Bay, on the W. coast 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 65°55'S., 64°55'W. This fea- 

 ture was first seen, roughly surveyed and named 

 "Cap Garcia" by the FrAE, 1903-5, under Charcot. 

 At the same time Charcot gave the name "Cap 

 Loqui" to the N. cape of Barilari Bay, after Cap- 

 tain Loqui of the Argentine Navy. The maps of 

 Charcot's second expedition to this area, the FrAE 

 of 1908-10, showed "Cap Garcia" as the N. cape 

 of Barilari Bay, and the name Cape Garcia (q.v.) 

 has since become established in that position and 

 accepted by the US-ACAN. Charcot did not use 

 the name "Cap Loqui" on the maps of the FrAE, 

 1908-10, and with his shifting of the name Cape 

 Garcia, this south entrance point to Barilari Bay 



has remained unnamed. For the sake of historical 

 continuity, Charcot's "Cap Loqui" has been altered 

 and accepted for this feature. Not adopted: Cap 

 Garcia [French]. 



LOUBAT POINT: point forming the N. side of 

 the entrance to Deloncle Bay, fronting on Lemaire 

 Chan, opposite Booth I., on the W. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 65°06'S., 63°53'W. Probably first seen by 

 the BelgAE under De Gerlache, 1897-99. It was 

 resighted and charted by the FrAE under Charcot, 

 1903-5, and named by him for a Monsieur De 

 Loubat. Not adopted: Cape De Loubat, Cape 

 Loubat. 



LOUBET COAST: that portion of the W. coast of 

 Palmer Pen. extending from Cape Bellue, in 

 66°20'S., 65°59'W., to the head of Bourgeois Fjord, 

 in 67°31'S., 66°32'W. This coast was explored, in 

 January 1905 by the FrAE under Charcot, who 

 named it for fimile Loubet, then Pres. of France. 

 Not adopted : Loubet Land. 



Loubet Land: see Loubet Coast. 



Loubet Strait: see Gullet, The. 



LOUISE, MOUNT: peak about 2,100 ft. in el., 

 standing about 1 mi. N. of Mt. Gourdon on Booth I., 

 off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°04'S., 64°00'W. 

 First charted by the FrAE under Charcot, 1903-5, 

 and named by him for the sister of Ernest Gourdon, 

 geologist of the expedition. Not adopted: Louise 

 Peak. 



LOUISE ISLET: ice-capped islet about 0.25 mi. in 

 diameter, lying about 1 mi. E. of Cape Anna in the 

 SW. side of the entrance to Wilhelmina Bay, along 

 the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 64°36'S., 62°23'W.

LOUIS PHILIPPE PENINSULA: the extreme 

 NE. portion of Palmer Pen., extending NE. for 

 about 80 mi. from a line connecting Cape Kater 

 and Cape Longing; centering in about 63°40'S., 

 58°30'W. The name Louis Philippe was given by 

 Capt. Dumont D'Urville in 1838 for King Louis 

 Philippe of France. Not adopted: Louis Philippe 

 Coast, Louis Philippe Land, Trinity Peninsula.
