GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



OUTER LEE ISLET: islet about 1.5 mi. NNW. of 

 Bellingshausen Pt., lying in the outer part of the 

 Bay of Isles, South Georgia; in 54°02'S., 37°15'W. 

 This islet was charted in 1912-13 by Robert Cush- 

 man Murphy, American naturalist aboard the brig 

 Daisy, who included it as one of two islets which he 

 called the Lee Islands. The islets were recharted 

 in 1929-30 by DI personnel, who renamed the 

 northeastern of these two islets Outer Lee Islet. 

 The southwestern islet is now known as Inner Lee 

 Islet. Not adopted: Lee Islands, Outer Lee, Outer 

 Lee Island. 



Outpost, The: see Vorposten Peak. 



Owen, Mount: see Russell Owen, Mount. 



OWEN, MOUNT: mountain about 3,800 ft. in el., 

 standing between Johnston and Kelsey Glaciers 

 at the head of Nantucket Inlet, on the E. coast of 

 Palmer Pen.; in 74°25'S., 62°30'W. This mountain 

 was photographed from the air in December 1940 

 by the USAS, and in 1947 by the RARE, under 

 Ronne, who in conjunction with the FIDS charted 

 it from the ground. Named by Ronne for Arthur 

 Owen, trail man with the RARE. Not adopted: 

 Mount Arthur Owen. 



OWEN ISLAND: island about 1 mi. long, lying 

 about 5 mi. WNW. of Round Pt., close off the N. 

 coast of King George I., in the South Shetland Is.; 

 in about 61°55'S., 58°21'W. Charted and named 

 in 1935 by DI personnel on the Discovery II. 



O. Wisting, Mount: see Wisting, Mount. 



0YDEHOLMEN, MOUNT: snow-covered moun- 

 tain near the junction of Enderby Land and Kemp 

 Coast, with two summits about 6,500 ft. in el., 

 standing about 8 mi. WSW. of Rayner Peak; in 

 about 67°32'S., 55°33'E. Disc, in February 1936 by 

 DI personnel on the William Scoresby, and mapped 

 by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photo- 

 graphs taken by a Nor. exp. under Christensen in 

 January-February 1937. The Norwegian "0yde- 

 holmen" means literally "desolate islet." Not 

 adopted: oydeholmen. 



0YGARDEN ISLANDS: group of rocky, irregu- 

 lar islands which extend about 17 mi. in an E.-W. 

 direction, lying in the S. part of the entrance to 

 Edward VIII Bay at the extreme W. end of Kemp 

 Coast; in about 66°57'S., 57°30'E. First sighted in 

 February 1936 by DI personnel on the William 

 Scoresby, and considered by them to be part of the 

 mainland. They were charted as islands by Nor- 

 wegian cartographers from aerial photographs 

 taken by a Nor. exp. under Christensen in January- 

 February 4937, and named 0ygarden, a descriptive 

 term for a chain of islands lying along and off the 



coast. Not adopted: Guardian Islands, oygarden 

 [Norwegian] . 



PAAL HARBOR: small harbor about 0.5 mi. S. of 

 Borge Bay, along the E. side of Signy I., in the 

 South Orkney Is.; in 60°43'S., 45°35'W. The name 

 appears on a map based upon a running survey of 

 the South Orkney Is. in 1912-13 by the Norwegian 

 whaling captain Fetter S0rlle. 



PABELL6N ISLET: the southernmost of two 

 islets which lie close off the N. tip of Omega I. and 

 mark the S. side of the western entrance to Ander- 

 sen Harbor in the Melchior Is., Palmer Arch.; in 

 64°19'S., 62°57'W. The islet was roughly surveyed 

 by DI personnel in 1927. The name Pabellon ap- 

 pears to have been first used on a 1946 Argentine 

 govt, chart following surveys of the Melchior Is. by 

 Arg. expeditions in 1942 and 1943. Not adopted: 

 Pabellon Islet. 



PACIFIC POINT: small rounded point on the 

 NW. coast of Zavodovski I., South Sandwich Is.; in 

 56°19'S., 27°36'W. It was named Low Point by DI 

 personnel following their survey in 1930, but that 

 name has been rejected because it has also been 

 used for several other features in the vicinity. The 

 name Pacific Point was recommended in 1953 by 

 the Br-APC, and is after the American schooner 

 Pacific which, under Capt. James Brown, visited 

 Zavodovski I. in 1830, making a landing there. 

 Not adopted: Low Point. 



PAGEANT POINT: the middle and highest of 

 three ice-free points at the E. end of Gourlay Pen. 

 on Signy I., South Orkney Is.; in 60°44'S., 45°36'W. 

 Surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and resurveyed 

 in 1947 by the FIDS. The name, given by the 

 FIDS, derives from the penguin rookery there, with 

 its associated pageantry. 



Page Rock: see Jester Rock. 



PAGET, MOUNT: saddle-shaped moimtain peak 

 about 9,200 ft. in el., marking the summit of the 

 AUardyce Range, in the central part of South 

 Georgia; in 54°26'S., 36°33'W. Mount Paget was 

 known to early sealers and whalers at South 

 Georgia. The name has long been established 

 through general usage. 



PAGET GLACIER: glacier in South Georgia, 

 about 5 mi. long and 1 mi. wide, which flows NE. 

 from the N. slopes of Mt. Paget into the W. side of 

 Nordenskjold Gl.; in 54°24'S., 36°28'W. The gla- 

 cier was roughly surveyed in 1928-29 by a Ger. exp. 

 under Kohl-Larsen, and resurveyed in 1951-52 by 

 the SGS. The name, which is derived from nearby 

 Mt. Paget, was given by the SGS, 1951-52.
