GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



SMAALAND COVE: cove lying 1.5 mi. WSW. of 

 Doubtful Bay (q.v.) along the SE. coast of South 

 Georgia; in 54°53'S., 36°05'W. The name Doubt- 

 ful Bay was given to this feature during the survey 

 by DI personnel in 1927, and the name Smaaland 

 Bay appeared on their chart for the bay 1.5 mi. 

 ENE. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the names 

 Doubtful Bay and Smaaland Bay are both well 

 established locally, but that they are always used 

 in the reverse positions shown on the DI chart. 

 In order to conform to local usage, the name Smaa- 

 land is approved for the feature now described, 

 and the name Doubtful Bay as applied to this fea- 

 ture, is rejected. Cove is considered a more suitable 

 descriptive term than bay. Not adopted: Doubtful 

 Bay (q.v.), Smaaland Bay. 



SMALL ISLAND: island about 1 mi. in extent, 

 lying 1 mi. S. of Intercurrence I. in the Christi- 

 ania Is., at the NE. end of the Palmer Arch.; in 

 63°57'S.,61°25'W. Though the origin of this name 

 is unknown, it has appeared on maps for over 100 

 years and its usage has been established inter- 

 nationally.

 Berntsen Pt., lying in the entrance to Borge Bay, off 

 the E. side of Signy I. in the South Orkney Is.; 

 in 60°43'S., 45°36'W. The name was probably 

 applied by DI personnel on the Discovery II who 

 charted Borge Bay in 1933.

 and Cape Collier, along the E. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 72°25'S., 62°00'W. This inlet was disc, and 

 charted in 1940 by the US AS, but it was later 

 erroneously shown on charts as "Stefansson In- 

 let." During 1947 the inlet was photographed from 

 the air by the RARE, under Ronne, who in con- 

 junction with the FIDS charted it from the ground. 

 Named by Ronne for R. Adm. Edward H. Smith, 

 USCG, noted Arctic oceanographer and explorer,

 was first reported in 1819 by Capt. William Smith, 

 for whom this island was named. This island was

 photographed from the air in December 1940 by 

 members of the US AS, and in 1947 by members of
