SHARBONNEAU, CAPE: rounded, snow-covered 

 headland forming the S. side of the entrance to 

 Lehrke Inlet, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 70^50'S., 6r27'W. Members of the East Base of 

 the US AS who explored this coast in 1940 charted 

 this feature as an island, which they named for 

 Charles W. Sharbonneau, carpenter at East Base. 

 It was determined to be a cape of Palmer Pen. in 

 1947 by a joint sledge party consisting of members 

 of the RARE and the FIDS. Not adopted: Shar- 

 bonneau Island. 



Sharbonneau Island: see Sharbonneau, Cape. 



SHARP PEAK: sharp peak about 1,500 ft. in el., 

 situated in the NE. part of Livingston I., about 2.5 

 mi. NW. of High Pt., in the South Shetland Is.; in 

 62°31'S., 60°07'W. The name was applied by DI 

 personnel on the Discovery II who charted the peak 

 in 1935. 



SHARP PEAK: peak probably over 4,000 ft. in 

 el., about 4 mi. S. of Ferin Head, on the W. coast of 

 Palmer Pen.; in 66°03'S., 65°18'W. Disc, and 

 named by the BGLE, 1934-37, under Rymill. The 

 name is descriptive. 



SHEEHAN ISLANDS: group of small islands in 

 the William Scoresby Arch., the highest about 300 

 ft. in el., lying E. of the entrance to William 

 Scoresby Bay off Mac-Robertson Coast; in about 

 67°22'S., 59°51'E. Disc, by the BANZARE under 

 Mawson on Feb. 18, 1931, but erroneously charted 

 as Sheehan Nunatak, lying behind the coast line. 

 Their insularity was determined by DI personnel 

 on the William Scoresby on Feb. 27, 1936. They 

 were more fully mapped by Norwegian cartogra- 

 phers from aerial photographs taken by a Nor. exp. 

 under Lars Christensen in January and February 

 1937. Not adopted: Hamar0galten [Norwegian], 

 Sheehan Nunatak.

 Olav Hbr., on the N. coast of South Georgia; in 

 54°04'S., 37°08'W. The name appears on a chart 

 based upon a 1929 survey of Prince Olav Hbr. by DI 

 personnel, but may reflect an earlier naming. 



SHEILA COVE: cove in the SW. part of Jessie 

 Bay on the N. coast of Laurie I., South Orkney Is.; 

 in 60°45'S., 44°46'W. Surveyed and named by the

 Eagle, who landed the party which established the 

 FIDS base at Hope Bay in 1945.
