GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



SANDEFJORD PEAKS: two conical peaks, the 

 highest about 2,100 ft. in el., marking the SW. end 

 of Pomona Plateau at the W. end of Coronation 

 I., South Orkney Is.; in 60°37'S., 46°0rw. The 

 more southern and lower of these two peaks was 

 named Sandefjord Peak after nearby Sandefjord 

 Bay by DI personnel in 1933. The collective name, 

 Sandefjord Peaks, wa» recommended by the Br- 

 APC following a survey of the peaks by the FIDS 

 in 1950. Not adopted: Sandefjord Peak. 



Sandell, Mount: see Wood, Mount. 



Sanders, Mount: see Saunders, Mount. 



SANDFORD GLACIER: channel glacier about 8 

 mi. wide and 7 mi. long, flowing WNW. from the 

 continental ice to the E. side of Porpoise Bay, about 

 12 mi. SSW. of Waldron Gl., on Banzare Coast; in 

 about 66°35'S., 129°50'E. Delineated from aerial 

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

 named by the US-ACAN for Joseph P. Sandford, 

 passed midshipmen on the brig Porpoise of the 

 USEE under Wilkes, 1838-42. 



SANDOW, MOUNT: rocky summit about 4,000 

 ft. in el., protruding above the continental ice about 

 10 m. SSW. of Mt. Amundsen, at the E. side of 

 Denman Gl., on Queen Mary Coast; in about 

 67°29'S., 100°15'E. Disc, in December 1912 by 

 Frank Wild and other members of the Western 

 Base party of the AAE under Mawson. Named by 

 Mawson for Eugene Sandow, of London, patron of 

 the expedition. 



Sandwich Bay: see Iris Bay. 



SANDWICH BLUFF: flat-topped mountain about 

 2,000 ft. in el., broken sharply at its W. side by a 

 steep dark bluff, standing slightly W. of center on 

 Vega I., which lies S. of the NE. end of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 63°50'S., 57°30'W. Disc, by the SwedAE 

 under Nordenskjold, 1901-4. Charted in 1945 by 

 the FIDS, and so named because a horizontal snow- 

 holding band of rock breaks the western cliff 

 giving it the appearance of a sandwich when viewed 

 from the north. 



Sandwich Group; Sandwich Islands; Sandwich 

 Land: see South Sandwich Islands. 



SANTA ROCK: rock about 120 ft. in el., lying 

 about 1.5 mi. NNW. of Vindication I., in the South 

 Sandwich Is.; in 57°02'S., 26°48'W. Charted and 

 named in 1930 by DI personnel on the Discovery II. 



SAPPHO POINT: point which marks the W. 

 side of the entrance to Cumberland East Bay, on 

 the N. coast of South Georgia; in 54°14'S., 36°28'W. 

 Probably first sighted by a Br. exp. under Cook, 



who explored the N. coast of South Georgia in 

 1775. Named for H.M.S. Sappho, British ship used 

 in charting portions of Cumberland Bay in 1906. 



Sarg-Berg: see Coffin Top. 



Sartorius Island: see Greenwich Island. 



SASTRUGI, CAPE: sharply projecting point 

 forming the SW. extremity of a small plateau 

 lying close W. of Campbell Gl., in Victoria Land; 

 in about 74°44'S., 163°32'E. First explored by the 

 Northern Party of the BrAE under Scott, 1910-13, 

 and so named because sastrugi impeded the ap- 

 proach to this point. 



SATELLITE, THE: small rock peak about 4,200 

 ft. in el., protruding slightly above the icecap about 

 4 mi. SSW. of Pearce Peak and about 7 mi. E. of 

 Baillieu Peak, on Mac-Robertson Coast; in about 

 67°51'S., 61°09'E. Disc, and named by the BAN- 

 ZARE under Mawson on about Feb. 17, 1931. The 

 approximate position of this peak was verified in 

 aerial photographs taken by the USN Op. Hjp. on 

 Feb. 26, 1947. 



SATURN GLACIER: glacier in SE. Alexander I 

 Island, at least 9 mi. long and about 9 mi. wide 

 at its mouth, fiowing E. into the ice shelf of George 

 VI Sound between Two-Step Cliffs and Corner 

 Cliffs; in 71°59'S., 68°30'W. The coast in this 

 vicinity was first explored from the air and par- 

 tially photographed by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 

 23, 1935, and was roughly surveyed from the 

 ground in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. This 

 glacier was surveyed in 1949 by the FIDS, and 

 was named by them after the planet Saturn. 



SAUNDERS, CAPE: cape forming the W. side 

 of the entrance to Stromness Bay, on the N. coast 

 of South Georgia; in 54°07'S., 36°38'W. Disc, in 

 1775 by a Br. exp. under Cook and named for 

 his close friend Sir Charles Saunders, First Lord 

 of the Admiralty. 



SAUNDERS, MOUNT: peak about 10,500 ft. in 

 el., standing about 6 mi. SE. of Mt. Mills, in the 

 N. part of the Dominion Range; in about 85°18'S.,
