GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



STUMP ROCK: rock in the W. portion of King 

 George Bay which lies close offshore about 0.8 mi. 

 NW. of Martello Tower, in the South Shetland Is.; 

 in 62°05'S., 58°10'W. Charted and named during 

 1937 by DI personnel on the Discovery II. 



STURGE ISLAND: the largest of the Balleny 

 Is., about 27 mi. long and 8 mi. wide; in about 

 67°24'S., 164°15'E. Disc, in February 1839 by 

 John Balleny, who named it for T. Sturge, one 

 of the merchants who united with Charles En- 

 derby, Esq., in sending out the expedition. 



STYGIAN COVE: cove lying immediately W. of 

 Berry Head on the E. side of Signy I., South Ork- 

 ney Is.; in 60°42'S., 45°37'W. On its W. side steep 

 rock cliffs rise to Robin Peak. Roughly surveyed 

 in 1912-13 by Petter S0rlle, Norwegian whaling 

 captain, and again in 1933 by DI personnel. Re- 

 surveyed and named in 1947 by the FIDS. The 

 name arose from the fact that this cove is so 

 overshadowed by the Cliffs of Robin Peak that a 

 sense of stygian gloom is felt. 



SUCCESSION CLIFFS: a line of steep cliffs, 

 about 1.5 mi. long, on the E. coast of Alexander I 

 Island. They face eastward onto George VI Sound, 

 to the S. of Pluto Gl., about 10 mi. N. of Fossil 

 Bluff; in 71°11'S., 68°16'W. This feature was prob- 

 ably first sighted by Lincoln Ellsworth, who pho- 

 tographed segments of the coast in this vicinity 

 on Nov. 23, 1935. The cliffs were first roughly 

 surveyed from the ground in 1936 by the BGLE 

 under Rymill, and were resurveyed in 1948 by the 

 FIDS. So named by FIDS because a geologic 

 succession, or depositional sequence, is revealed 

 by the accessible rock exposures of these cliffs. 



SUDAN BEACH: small shingle beach lying about 

 700 yards S. of Dartmouth Pt., on the E. side of 

 Moraine Fjord, South Georgia; in 54°19'S., 36°27'W. 

 This vicinity was roughly surveyed by the SwedAE, 

 1901-4, under Nordenskjold. The beach was 

 sketch surveyed and named by the FIDS in 1951. 

 The name is one in a group in the vicinity of Dart- 

 mouth Pt., derived from the chemical stains used 

 in preparation for histological examination of bio- 

 logical material collected there by FIDS. 



Siidantillen See: see Scotia Sea. 



Sud-Georgien: see South Georgia. 



Siid-Orkney Inseln: see South Orkney Islands. 



Siid-Sandwich Inseln: see South Sandwich 

 Islands. 



Sud-Shetland Inseln; Sydshetland: see South 

 Shetland Islands. 



SUESS, MOUNT: conspicuous mountain, capped 

 by three black peaks about 3,700 ft. in el., situated 

 on the S. side of Mackay Gl., in Victoria Land; in 

 about 77°02'S., 16r47'E. Disc, by the BrAE, 

 1907-9, under Shackleton, and named for Prof. 

 Eduard Suess, noted Austrian geologist and paleon- 

 tologist. 



SUFFIELD POINT: conspicuous bluff about 2 

 mi. SW. of Collins Hbr., at the SW. end of King 

 George I., in the South Shetland Is.; in 62°11'S., 

 58°56'W. The name appears to have been ap- 

 plied by DI personnel on the Discovery II who 

 charted the bluff in 1935. 



SUGARLOAF ISLET: the southernmost of two 

 islets lying about 1 mi. off the E. coast of Clarence 

 I., in the South Shetland Is.; in about 61°09'S., 

 53°52'W. This islet was known to both the Ameri- 

 can and British sealers as early as 1822, and the 

 name Sugarloaf has been well established in inter- 

 national usage for over 100 years. Not adopted: 

 Sugarloaf Island, Zuckerhut Insel [German]. 



SUGARTOP, MOUNT: prominent partly snow- 

 covered mountain, about 7,600 ft. in el., standing 

 5 mi. NW. of Mt. Paget in the AUardyce Range of 

 South Georgia; in 54°22'S., 36°38'W. The name 

 Sugarloaf Peak has appeared on maps for this 

 feature for many years, but the SGS, following a 

 survey of South Georgia in 1951-52, reported that 

 the name Mount Sugartop is well established 

 locally for this mountain. This latter name is 

 approved on the basis of local usage. Not adopted: 

 Mount Sugar Top, Sugarloaf Peak, Sukkertoppen 

 [Norwegian] . 



Sukkertoppen; Sugarloaf Peak: see Sugartop, 

 Mount. 



SULLIVAN, MOUNT: mountain about 6,800 ft. 

 in el., standing at the S. side of Bingham Gl. about 

 15 mi. NE. of Mt. Wakefield, inland from the E. 

 coast of Palmer Pen.; in 69°39'S., 63°49'W. This 

 feature lies in the area explored from the air by 

 Sir Hubert Wilkins in 1928 and Lincoln Ellsworth 

 in 1935, but it was first charted by the BGLE in 

 1936-37. It was photographed from the air in 

 1940 by the USAS and in 1947 by the RARE under 

 Ronne. Named by Ronne for Col. H. R. Sullivan 

 of the Office of Research and Development of the 

 then USAAF, which furnished equipment for the, 

 expedition. 



Sullivan Inlet: see Mill Inlet. 



SULPHUR POINT: prominent bluff lying 1.5 mi. 

 N. of Wordie Pt. on the W. coast of Visokoi I., 

 South Sandwich Is.; in 56°42'S., 27°16'W. It was 

 named West Bluff, because of its position, by DI
