GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



SAILS, BAY OF: bay about 7 mi. wide, which 

 recedes W. about 2.5 mi. between Spike Pt. and 

 Gneiss Pt., along the E. coast of Victoria Land; in 

 about 77°22'S., 163°42'E. The name was suggested 

 by members of the BrAE under Scott, 1910-13, who 

 while sledging across the ice at the mouth of the 

 bay erected makeshift sails on their man-drawn 

 sledge, thereby increasing their speed. 



SAINT ANDREWS BAY: small bay between Mt. 

 Skittle and Doris Bay, along the N. coast of South 

 Georgia; in 54°26'S., 36°11'W. This bay was prob- 

 ably first sighted by a Br. exp. under Cook who ex- 

 plored the N. coast of South Georgia in 1775. The 

 name dates back to at least 1920 and is now well 

 established in international usage. On charts 

 where abbreviations are used, the name may be 

 abbreviated to St. Andrews Bay. Not adooted: 

 Little Bucht [German] , St. Andrew Bay. 



SAINT MICHAEL, MOUNT: prominent rocky 

 point at the head of the bay lying immediately SW. 

 of Broka I., on Kemp Coast; in about 67°09'S., 

 58°27'E. Disc, in February 1936 by DI personnel 

 on the William Scoresby, and probably named by 

 them for its resemblance to Mont Saint Michel on 

 the French coast. Not adopted: Skagen [Nor- 

 wegian] . 



SALPETRIERE BAY: embayment about 1 mi. 

 wide and receding about 0.75 mi. between Herveou 

 Pt. and Poste Pt., along the W. side of Booth I., off 

 the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°04'S., 64°01'W. 

 First charted by the FrAE under Dr. Jean B. Char- 

 cot, 1903-5, and named by him after the Hopital 

 de la Salpetriere, a Paris hospital where his father, 

 Dr. Jean Martin Charcot, founded a clinic for the 

 treatment of nervous diseases. Not adopted: 

 Salpetriere Bay. 



SALTONSTALL, MOUNT: tabular mountain 

 about 8,500 ft. in el., standing about 2 mi. S. of Mt. 

 Innes-Taylor which lies at S. side of the junction of 

 Robert Scott and Poulter Glaciers, in the Queen 

 Maud Range; in about 86°52'S., 153°30'W. Disc, in 

 December 1934 by the ByrdAE geological party 

 under Quin Blackburn, and named by Byrd for 

 John Saltonstall, contributor to the expedition. 



Salvesen Bay; Salveson Cove: see Salvesen Cove. 



SALVESEN COVE: cove about 6 mi. SW. of 

 Brialmont Cove, forming the S. extremity of 

 Hughes Bay, along the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; 

 in 64°20'S., 61°22'W. The cove was partially out- 

 lined on the charts of the BelgAE under De Ger- 

 lache, 1897-99. Probably named by whalers oper- 

 ating in this vicinity after Salvesen and Company, 

 whalers of Leith, Scotland. Not adopted: Salvesen 

 Bay, Salveson Cove. 



SALVESEN RANGE: rocky mountain range, 

 about 18. mi. long and 7,000 ft. in el., which ex- 

 tends from Ross Pass in a SE. direction to a point 

 about 6 mi. W. of Cape Vahsel; in 54°40'S., 36°07'W. 

 This range is roughly delineated on several charts 

 of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the SGS, 

 1951-52, and named for Sir Harold Salvesen, a 

 director of Messrs. Chr. Salvesen and Co., Leith, 

 who gave great assistance to the SGS, 1951-52 and 

 1953-54. 



Sanctuary Pinnacle: see Spire, The. 



SANDEFJORD BAY: narrow body of water, about 

 2 mi. long, extending in a general N.-S. direction 

 between the W. end of Coronation I. and Monroe I., 

 in the South Orkney Is.; in 60°37'S., 46°03'W. The 

 northern entrance is narrow and has Spine It. in 

 the middle. Disc, and roughly charted by Capt. 

 George Powell and Capt. Nathaniel Palmer during 

 their joint cruise in December 1821. The name 

 Sandefjord, presumably for Sandefjord, Norway, 

 center of the Norwegian whaling industry, appears 

 to have been first used on a 1912 chart by Petter 

 S0rlle, Norwegian whaling captain. The feature 

 was surveyed by DI personnel in 1933. Not 

 adopted: Sandefjord. 



SANDEFJORD BAY: bay about 1.5 mi. wide, 

 lying between Cape Ingrid and Tofte Gl. along the 

 W. side of Peter I Island; in about 68°50'S., 90°44'W. 

 In 1821 the Russ. exp. under Bellingshausen ap- 

 proached the island from the SW. and sketched 

 the coast from a distance. A Nor. exp. under Tofte 

 in the Odd I circumnavigated the island in 1927. 

 The bay was charted by the Nor. exp. under Nils 

 Larsen, 1928-29, and named for Sandefjord, Nor- 

 way, center of the Norwegian whaling industry. 

 Not adopted: Sandefjords Bay. 



Sandefjord Bay: see Sandefjord Ice Bay. 



SANDEFJORD ICE BAY: a bay formed in ice, 

 whose limits are restricted by the Amery Ice Shelf 

 on the W., Ingrid Christensen Coast on the S., 

 and a group of glacier tongues on the E., forming 

 the narrow SW. portion of Prydz Bay; in about 

 69°35'S., 73°45'E. Disc, and named Sandefjord 

 Bay in February 1935 by a Nor. exp. under Mikkel- 

 sen in the Thorshavn, a whaling ship sent out by 

 Lars Christensen. Further delineated from aerial 

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

 term "ice bay" is applied to this, feature because 

 of its formation in ice and to eliminate duplica- 

 tion with Sandefjord Bay at Peter I Island. Named 

 for the town of Sandefjord, Norway. Not adopted: 

 Sandefjord Bay (q.v.).
