GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



the BANZARE under Mawson sighted land in this 

 area and made an aerial observation fight. The 

 exp. landed on nearby Scullin Monolith on Feb. 

 13, 1931 and named this peak, probably for Ernest 

 Marsden, Sec. of the Dept. of Scientific and Indus- 

 trial Research of New Zealand. 



MARS GLACIER: glacier on the E. coast of 

 Alexander I Island, about 4 mi. long and 2 mi. 

 wide, flowing S. into the ice shelf of George VI 

 Sound between Two-Step Cliffs and Phobos Ridge; 

 in 71°53'S., 68°24'W. The coast in this vicinity 

 was first explored from the air and partially pho- 

 tographed by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, 

 and was roughly surveyed from the ground in 

 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. This glacier 

 was first surveyed in 1949 by the FIDS, and was 

 named by them after the planet Mars. 



MARSHALL BAY: semi-circular bay about 2 mi. 

 wide, lying between Capes Vik and Hansen along 

 the S. coast of Coronation I., in the South Orkney 

 Is.; in 60°39'S., 45°39'W. The bay was roughly 

 charted in 1912-13 by Fetter S0rlle, Norwegian 

 whaling captain. Recharted in 1933 by DI per- 

 sonnel on the Discovery II, and named for Dr. E. 

 H. Marshall, surgeon and member of the Marine 

 Executive Staff of the Discovery Committee.

 Inlet, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 71°09'S., 

 61°32'W. This coast was first explored in 1940 

 by members of the USAS but the peak was first 

 charted by a joint party consisting of members of 

 the RARE and FIDS in 1947. Named by the FIDS 

 for Norman B. Marshall, zoologist at the FIDS 

 Hope Bay base in 1945-46.

 by the BrAE, 1907-9, under Shackleton, who 

 named it for George E. Marston, artist with the 

 expedition. Not adopted: Whaleback. 



Martel, Fiord: see Martel Inlet. 



M ARTEL INLET: inlet forming the NE. head 

 of Admiralty Bay, King George I., in the South

Martello Rock: see Martello Tower. 



MARTELLO TOWER: rock about 30 ft. in el. 

 lying in King George Bay about 2 mi. NNW. of 

 Cape Lions Rump, in the South Shetland Is.; in 

 about 62°05'S., 58°08'W. Charted during 1937 

 by DI personnel on the Discovery II, who named 

 it after the fortified towers by that name. Not 

 adopted: Martello Rock. 



MARTIN, MOUNT: mountain about 4,500 ft. 

 in el. with conspicuous rock exposures on its SE. 

 side, standing immediately N. of the head of 

 Anthony Gl. on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 69°40'S., 62°59'W. The mountain lies on the fringe 

 of the area explored by the BGLE in 1936, and 

 was photographed from the air by the USAS in 

 1940. During 1947 the mountain was photo- 

 graphed from the air by members of the RARE, 

 under Ronne, who in conjunction with the FIDS 

 charted it from the ground. Named by Ronne for 

 Orville Martin, electronics engineer who was of 

 assistance in planning and obtaining radio equip- 

 ment necessary for Ronne's expedition. 



MARTIN, POINT: point about 0.8 mi. NNW. of 

 Cape Burn Murdoch, on the SW. side of Scotia Bay, 

 southern Laurie I., in the South Orkney Is.; in

MARTIN, PORT: anchorage lying immediately 

 off Cape Margerie, at the end of Adelie Coast; in

 exp. base established on Cape Margerie. Named 

 for Andre-Paul (J. A.) Martin, second-in-command

 jagged peaks and steep slopes, about 2,000 ft. in
