 standing about 2 mi. NNE. of Cape McNab on 

 Buckle I., in the Balleny Is.; in about 66°48'S.,

 features appear to have been named after the 

 schooner Eliza Scott, exp. ship of the Br. exp. 

 under Balleny, 1839. 



SCOTT GLACIER: glacier about 7 mi. wide and 

 over 20 mi. long, flowing in a NNW. direction to 

 the Queen Mary Coast between Capes Hoadly and 

 Grace, and terminating in part in Edisto Ice 

 Tongue and in another large ice tongue to the 

 westward; in about 66°35'W., 100°09'E. Disc, in 

 November 1912 by the Main Base party led by 

 Frank Wild of the AAE under Mawson, and named 

 for Capt. Robert F. Scott, RN. 



Scott Glacier: see Robert Scott Glacier. 



SCOTT ISLAND: island about 0.25 mi. long and 

 about half as wide, lying about 315 mi. NE. of 

 Cape Adare, the NE. extremity of Victoria Land; 

 in about 67°24'S., 179°55'W. Disc, in December 

 1902 by Capt. William Colbeck, RNR, commander 

 of the BrNAE relief ship Morning, who named it

SCOTT ISLAND BANK: submarine bank lying 

 N. of Ross Sea and surrounding Scott I.; in about 

 67°24'S., 179°55'W. 



SCOTT KELTIE, CAPE : rounded headland with 

 vertical cliffs which rise to a small ice dome about 

 1,300 ft. in el., forming the NW. end of Vega I., 

 south of the NE. end of Palmer Pen.; in 63°47'S., 

 57°41'W. Disc, by the SwedAE under Norden- 

 skjold, 1901-4, and named by him for Sir John 

 Scott Keltie, Sec. of the Royal Geographical Soc, 

 1892-1915. 



SCOTT KELTIE GLACIER: small glacier de- 

 scending steeply to Robertson Bay about 2 mi. SE. 

 of Penelope Pt., on the N. coast of Victoria Land; 

 in about 71°32'S., 169°49'E. First charted in 1899 

 by the BrAE under C. E. Borchgrevink, who named 

 it for Sir John Scott Keltie, then secretary of the 

 Royal Geographical Society. 



Scott Mountains: see Scott Range. 



SCOTT NUNATAKS: conspicuous twin eleva- 

 tions, rising to about 1,700 ft., which form the N. 

 end of the Alexandra Mtns. on Edward VII Pen.; 

 in about 77°10'S., 153°35'W. , Disc, in 1902 by the 

 BrNAE under Capt. Robert F. Scott, RN, and named 



in his honor by Lt. K. Prestrud, leader of the East- 

 ern Sledge Party of the Nor. exp. under Amundsen, 

 who ascended the features while exploring Edward 

 VII Pen. in 1911. Not adopted: Scott Nunatak, 

 Scotts Nunataks, Scott's Nunataks. 



SCOTT RANGE: range of mountains at the 

 head of Ice Bay, lying SSW. of the Tula Range 

 on the coast of Enderby Land; in about 67°40'S., 

 50°00'E. Disc, on Jan. 13, 1930 by the BANZARE 

 under Sir Douglas Mawson, and named by Mawson 

 for Capt. Robert F. Scott, RN. Not adopted: Scott 

 Mountains. 



SCREE PEAK: conspicuous, flat-topped peak 

 with talus-covered slopes, about 1,800 ft. in el., 

 standing at the NE. end of Eagle I. in Prince Gustav 

 off the SE. coast of Louis Philippe Pen.; in 63°38'S., 

 57°27'W. Disc, by the FIDS and so named follow- 

 ing their 1945 survey. The name is descriptive 

 of the slopes of the peak. 



Scripps Island; Scripps Peninsula: see Scripps 

 Ridge. 



SCRIPPS RIDGE: rocky divide which is largely 

 ice covered, lying between Casey and Lurabee 

 Glaciers on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 69°06'S., 

 63°35'W. Deeply scarred by tributary glaciers, 

 it terminates on the E. in Cape Walcott. Disc, by 

 Sir Hubert Wilkins in his pioneer flight on Dec. 20, 

 1928. Thinking it was a large island lying between 

 two great transverse channels which completely 

 severed Palmer Pen., he named it Scripps Island 

 for William Scripps of Detroit, Mich. Correlation 

 of aerial photographs taken by Lincoln Ellsworth 

 in 1935 and preliminary reports of the findings 

 of the BGLE under Rymill, 1934-37, led W. L. G. 

 Joerg to interpret this to be a peninsula. In pub- 

 lished reports, members of the BGLE have con- 

 curred in this interpretation which was also borne 

 out by the results of subsequent flights and a sledge 

 trip from East Base by members of the USAS in 

 1940. The ridge was surveyed by the joint party 

 consisting of members of the FIDS and RARE in 

 1947_48. Not adopted: Scripps Island, Scripps 

 Peninsula. 



SCRIVENER GLACIER: small tributary glacier 

 flowing in a SE. direction from the vicinity of 

 Mounts Woolnough and Morrison to the N. side 

 of Mackay Gl. immediately W. of Mt. Allan Thom- 

 son, in Victoria Land; in about 76°57'S., 161°50'E. 

 Charted and named by the BrAE under Scott, 

 1910-13. 



SCRYMGEOUR, CAPE: high conspicuous cliffs 

 of red colored volcanic rock, forming the E. end 

 of Andersson I., lying in Antarctic Sound off the
