GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



son into George VI Sound immediately N. of Mt. 

 King; in 69°51'S., 69°22'W. First roughly surveyed 

 in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. Resurveyed 

 in 1948 by the FIDS, and named by them for Adam 

 Sedgwick, English geologist and prof, of geology 

 at Cambridge Univ., 1818-73. 



Seeleoparden Fjord: see Sea Leopard Fjord. 



Seilkopf Mountains: (in about 72°45'S., 3°30'W.) 

 the decision of May 1947 has been VACATED, as it 

 is not possible to correlate the feature with subse- 

 quent survey work. 



SELBORNE, CAPE: steep, rounded snow cape 

 with high cliffs from which hills rise to the moun- 

 tains about 30 mi. southwestward, forming the S. 

 side of the entrance to Barne Inlet, on the W. edge 

 of Ross Ice Shelf; in about 80°20'S., 160°50'E. 

 Disc, and named by the BrNAE, 1901-4, under 

 Scott. William Waldegrave Palmer Selborne, 2d 

 Earl of Selborne, entered the Cabinet as First Lord 

 of the Admiralty in 1900. Not adopted: Cape 

 Selbourne. 



Selbourne, Cape: see Selborne, Cape. 



Sel Bucht; Selbukta: see Seal Bay. 



SELIGMAN INLET: broad inlet which recedes 

 about 6 mi. inland between Capes Choyce and Free- 

 man, along the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 67°50'S., 

 65°30'W. The inlet was photographed from the 

 air by the USAS in 1940. It was charted by the 

 FIDS in 1947 and named for Gerald Seligman, 

 founder and president of the British Glaciological 

 Society. 



Sel oene: see Seal Nunataks. 



SENTINEL ISLETS : small group of rocky islets, 

 lying immediately off the coastal ice cliffs about 2 

 mi. E. of the E. end of the Curzon Its., off Adelie 

 Coast; in 66°47'S., 141°42'E. Photographed from 

 the air by USN Op. Hjp., 1946-47. Charted by the 

 FrAE under Liotard, 1949-51, who established an 

 astronomical control station here, and so named 

 because these islets mark the easternmost rock 

 outcrops, as yet known, along Adelie Coast. 



SENTINEL MOUNTAINS : group of high moun- 

 tains projecting through the icecap in Ellsworth 

 Highland between 77°S. and 78°S., and between 

 86°00'W. and 92°30'W. They consist of a major 

 NE.-SW. trending range, flanked by subranges and 

 outliers. Near the N. end of the main range Mt. 

 Ulmer reaches an estimated el. of 12,500 ft. First 

 sighted and photographed from the air, on Nov. 23, 

 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth who in naming them 

 recognized their prominent position as a landmark 



on an otherwise featureless ice surface. Not 

 adopted: Sentinel Range. 



SENTINEL NUNATAK: black, pyramid-shaped 

 nunatak, about 2,100 ft. in el., which is the eastern- 

 most of the Tillberg Nunataks, lying in the mouth 

 of Drygalski Gl., on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 64°47'S., 60°46'W. The nunatak was charted by 

 the FIDS in 1947 and so named because of its 

 commanding position at the mouth of Drygalski 

 Glacier. 



SENTINEL PEAK: conspicuous, pointed peak 

 about 6,200 ft. in el., standing at the N. side of 

 Ferrar Gl. and forming the highest point in the 

 south-central part of the Kukri Hills, in Victoria 

 land; in about 77°46'S., 162°38'E. Disc, and 

 named by the BrNAE, 1901-4, under Scott. 



Sentinel Range: see Sentinel Mountains. 



SENTINELS, THE: small group of rocks lying 

 in the entrance to Godthul, a bay along the N. 

 coast of South Georgia; in 54°16'S., 36°17'W. 

 Rocks in this approximate position have been indi- 

 cated on charts since about 1912, but they were 

 first accurately charted by personnel of the Nor. 

 exp., 1927-28. The name appears to have been 

 applied by DI personnel who recharted this area in 

 1929. 



SERAPH BAY: broad bay formed by the E. coast 

 of Thurston Pen. where it joins Eights Coast on 

 the SW. side of Bellingshausen Sea, lying close S. 

 of the Fletcher Is.; in about 72°15'S., 95°00'W. 

 Disc, by the USAS in a flight from the Bear on 

 Feb. 27, 1940. Named by the US-SCAN for the 

 brig Seraph, of Stonington, Conn., which in 1830, 

 under the command of Capt. Benjamin Pendleton, 

 participated in a private exp. to the SW. of the 

 South Shetland Is., southward of 60°S., and as far 

 west as 101°W. 



SEVEN BUTTRESSES : series of seven rock but- 

 tresses, about 500 ft. in el., which are separated by 

 narrow icefalls and extend for about 4 mi. along 

 the S. part of the W. coast of Tabarin Pen., at the 

 NE. end of Palmer Pen.; in 63°36'S., 57°10'W. 

 Probably first sighted by a party under J. Gurmar 

 Andersson of the SwedAE, 1901-4. The Seven 

 Buttresses were surveyed and named by the FIDS, 

 1946. 



SEWARD MOUNTAINS: isolated mountains, 

 about 5,000 ft. in el., standing about 20 mi. S. of 

 Goodenough Gl. on the SW. shore of Palmer Pen.; 

 in about 72°26'S., 66°15'W. Disc, in 1936 by the 

 BGLE under Rymill. Named by Rymill for Sir 

 Albert Charles Seward, Prof, of Botany at Cam- 

 bridge, 1906-36. Not adopted: Seward Nunataks.
