GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



Land; in about 75°19'S., 162°43'E. Disc, by the 

 BrAE under Shackleton, 1907-9, who named it 

 for Dr. Philippi, distinguished geologist, who was 

 a member of the GerAE under Drygalski, 1901-3. 



Philippieis; Philippigletscher; Philippi Ice Pla- 

 teau: see Philippi Rise. 



PHILIPPI GLACIER: glacier which flows in an 

 E. direction to the SW. side of Drygalski Fjord, at 

 the SE. end of South Georgia; in 54°49'S., 36°03'W. 

 Charted by the GerAE under Filchner, 1911-12, 

 who named it for Emil Philippi, glaciologist with 

 the GerAE under Drygalski, 1901-3, and professor 

 of geology at the Univ. of Jena. 



PHILIPPI GLACIER: channel glacier about 6 

 mi. wide and 7 mi. long, flowing N. from the con- 

 tinental ice overlying Wilhelm II Coast to the E. 

 end of the West Ice Shelf, about 25 mi. W. of Gauss- 

 berg; in about 66°45'S., 88°20'E. Delineated from 

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

 Named by the Australian Committee on Antarctic 

 Names for Emil Philippi, geologist with the GerAE 

 under Drygalski, 1901-3, who made scientific ob- 

 servations in the immediate vicinity of Gaussberg. 



PHILIPPI RISE: low, snow-covered promontory, 

 about 7 mi. wide and extending some 10 mi. E. from 

 the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 66°05'S., 62°20'W. 

 The ice surface is highest in the W., where it rises 

 to about 1,300 ft. in el., and is broken by Borch- 

 grevink and Gemini Nunataks. The SwedAE un- 

 der Nordenskjold, 1901-4, reported an ice wall or 

 glacial terrace in the vicinity of Borchgrevink 

 Nunatak. Although unable to determine its na- 

 ture, Nordenskjold named the feature Philippi- 

 gletscher, after Emil Philippi. It was determined 

 to be a snow-covered promontory by the FIDS 

 during their 1947 survey of this coast. Not 

 adopted: Philippigletscher [German], Philippieis 

 [German] , Philippi Ice Plateau. 



Philip Wrigley Gulf: see Wrigley Gulf. 



PHILLIPS, CAPE : cape about 7 mi. SW. of Cape 

 Daniell, lying at the foot of Mt. Brewster at the 

 N. end of the E. coast of Victoria Land; in about 

 72°58'S., 170°00'E. Disc, in 1841 by a Br. exp. 

 under Ross, who named it for Lt. Charles G. 

 Phillips of the exp. ship Terror. 



PHILLIPS, MOUNT: high mountain standing W. 

 of Mt. Lubbock, in northern Victoria Land; in 

 about 73° ID'S., 167°05'E. Disc, in January 1841 

 by a Br. exp. under Ross, who named it for Prof. 

 John Phillips, Asst. Sec. of the British Association. 



Phillips Glacier: see Albanus Glacier. 



PHILLIPS MOUNTAINS: a range of isolated 

 peaks about 4,000 ft. in el., standing at the N. 

 side of Balchen Gl. at the S. end of Ruppert Coast; 

 in about 76°10'S., 145°00'W. Disc, by the ByrdAE, 

 1928-30, and named by Byrd for Albanus Phillips, 

 Sr., a manufacturer of Cambridge, Md., and patron 

 of the Byrd expeditions. 



PHILS ISLET: islet lying immediately S. of 

 Guepratte I. in Discovery Sound, in the Palmer 

 Arch.; in 64°30'S., 63°00'W. Charted and named 

 in 1927 by DI personnel on the Discovery. 



PHOBOS RIDGE: rocky ridge of sandstones and 

 shales forming the W. side of Mars Glacier, on 

 the E. side of Alexander I Island; in 71°54'S., 

 68°30'W. The coast in this vicinity was first seen 

 from the air and partially photographed by Lin- 

 coln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935. This ridge was 

 first surveyed in 1949 by the FIDS. Named by 

 the FIDS for its association with Mars Glacier; 

 Phobos being the inner of the two satellites of 

 Mars. 



Phoques, lies des: see Seal Islands. 



PHYLLIS BAY: small bight between Allen and 

 Scarlett Points at the S. end of Montagu I., in the 

 South Sandwich Is.; in 58°28'S., 26°18'W. Charted 

 in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery II, and 

 named for Phyllis V. Horton, daughter of Lt. Cdr. 

 W. A. Horton, RN (Ret.) , chief engineer of. the 

 Discovery II at the time of the survey. 



PICKERSGILL ISLANDS: group of islands about 

 15 mi. SE. of Annenkov I. and 8 mi. SW. of Ducloz 

 Head, South Georgia; in 54°37'S., 36°45'W. These 

 islands were disc, in 1819 by a Russ. exp. under 

 Bellingshausen, who charted the largest of the 

 group as Pickersgill Island, erroneously thinking 

 it to be the island named in 1775 by a Br. exp. 

 under Cook for Lt. Richard Pickersgill of the exp. 

 ship Resolution. The name Pickersgill Islands 

 has been established by usage for the group of 

 islands disc, by Bellingshausen. The island origi- 

 nally named by Cook has been known as Annenkov 

 Island since 1819. Not adopted: Pickersgill Island. 



Pickersgills Island: see Annenkov Island. 



Pic Luigi de Savoie: see Luigi di Savoia Peak. 



Piedrabuena, Isla: see Eta Island. 



PIERRE, MOUNT: sharp conical peak, probably 

 1,500 ft. in el., standing immediately S. of Moureaux 

 Pt., the N. tip of the snow-covered peninsula form- 

 ing the N. end of Liege I., in the Palmer Arch.; in 

 63°59'S., 61°46'W. Disc, and named by the BelgAE 

 under De Gerlache, 1897-99.
