 wealth High Commissioner in London in 1911. 



REID ISLET: islet at the E. side of the entrance 

 to Iceberg Bay, along the S. coast of Coronation I., 

 in the South Orkney Is.; in 60°41'S., 45°30'W. The 

 name Reid appears on a map of these islands by 

 Capt. Petter S0rlle in 1912-13. Not adopted: Reid 

 Islets. 



REINBOLT HILLS: group of rocky hills, of low 

 to moderate height, about 3 mi. wide and of un- 

 determined length, standing at the S. side of the 

 confluence of Kreitzer and Baker Three Glaciers, 

 near the junction of Lars Christensen and Ingrid 

 Christensen Coasts; in about 70°20'S., 72°32'E. 

 Delineated in 1952 by John H. Roscoe from aerial 

 photographs taken by USN Op. Hjp. in March 1947, 

 and named by him for Lt. Fred L. Reinbolt, USN, 

 co-pilot on USN Op. Hjp. photographic flights in 

 this area and other coastal areas between 14° and 

 164°, east longitude. 



REIST ROCKS: small group of coastal rocks 

 projecting above the continental ice, fronting on 

 Knox Coast midway between Robinson and Haw- 

 kins Glaciers; in about 66°33'S., 107°26'E. De- 

 lineated from aerial photographs taken by USN Op. 

 Hjp., 1946-47, and named by the US-ACAN for 

 Wilbur H. Reist, tractor driver with USN Op. Wml., 

 1947-48, who assisted in transporting shore parties 

 which established astronomical control stations 

 from Wilhelm II Coast to Budd Coast. 



RELAY BAY: bay on the SW. side of Robertson 

 Bay, lying between Penelope Pt. and Islands Pt., 

 along the coast of northern Victoria Land; in about 

 71°30'S., 169°32'E. First charted and named in 

 1911 by the Northern Party of the BrAE, 1910-13, 

 under Scott. 



RELIEF INLET: narrow, winding re-entrant, 

 about 10 mi. long, in the NE. side of the Drygalski 

 Ice Tongue, formed along a shear plane caused by 

 differential ice movement lying along the coast of 

 Victoria Land; in about 75°18'S., 163°40'E. So 

 named by the South Magnetic Polar Party of the 

 BrAE under Shackleton, 1907-9, because, after al- 

 most giving up hope of rescue, the Nimrod picked 

 up the party. 



REMENCHUS GLACIER: channel glacier about 

 4 mi. wide and 8 mi. long, flowing WNW. from the 

 continental ice overlying Knox Coast and termi- 

 nating in a small, but prominent tongue at the SE. 



end of the Highjump Arch.; in about 66°02'S., 

 101°22'E. Delineated from aerial photographs 

 taken by USN Op. Hjp., 1946-47, and named by the 

 US-ACAN for John F. Remenchus, chief aviation 

 pilot, who assisted USN Op. Wml. shore party op- 

 erations and made photographic flights along Wil- 

 helm II, Queen Mary, Knox and Budd Coasts in 

 January-February 1948. 



REMUS GLACIER: glacier, about 5 mi. long, 

 which flows from the N. slopes of Mt. Lupa north- 

 westward along the NE. end of the Blackwall Mtns. 

 into Providence Cove, Neny Fjord, on the W. side 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 68°20'S., 66°43'W. The lower 

 reaches of the glacier were first roughly surveyed 

 in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. Resurveyed in 

 1948-49 by the FIDS, who so named it for its asso- 

 ciation with Romulus GL, whose head lies near the 

 head of this glacier. 



RENARD, CAPE: cape forming the S. side of the 

 entrance to Flandres Bay and separating the Danco 

 and Graham Coasts, on the W. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 65°01'S., 63°43'W. Disc, in 1898 by the 

 BelgAE under De Gerlache, and named for Pro- 

 fessor Renard, of the Univ. of Gent, a member of

 Aerial photographs taken by USN Op. Hjp., 1946- 

 47, indicate that this bay extends inland as much 

 as 50 miles.
