GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



personnel following their survey in 1930, but that 

 name has been rejected because there is a West 

 Bluff at nearby Zavodovski Island. The name Sul- 

 phur Point was recommended in 1953 by the 

 Br-APC. The ground here is reddish in color with 

 patches and streaks of sulphur, and strong sul- 

 phurous fumes have been noted by all visitors 

 to this island. Not adopted: West Bluff. 



SULZBERGER BAY: large bay, about 100 mi. 

 wide, in the NW. coast of Marie Byrd Land, lying 

 between the NE. shore of Edward VII Pen. and 

 the line defined by Guest I. and the peninsula on 

 which Mt. Iphigene stands; in about 77°S., 151°W. 

 Disc, by R. Adm. Richard E. Byrd on Dec. 5, 1929 

 and named by him for Arthur H. Sulzberger, pub- 

 lisher of the New York Times and a supporter of 

 the ByrdAE, 1928-30, and 1933-35. Not adopted: 

 Arthur Sulzberger Bav, Biscoe Bay, Sulzberger 

 Embayment. 



Sulzberger Embayment: see Sulzberger Bay. 



SUMMIT PASS: a col, about 1,200 ft. in el., 

 between Passes Peak and Summit Ridge, situated 

 about 2.5 mi. S. of the head of Hope Bay and 3.5 

 mi. NE. of Duse Bay, at the NE. end of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 63°27'S., 57°02'W. This area was first 

 explored by the SwedAE, 1901-4. Summit Pass 

 was first charted and named by the FIDS, 1945. 

 It is the highest point on the sledge route between 

 Hope Bay and Duse Bay. 



SUMMIT RIDGE: ridge about 1,300 ft. in el., 

 with a steep ice slope on the N. side and a rock cliff 

 on the S. side, extending about 0.5 mi. E. from 

 Passes Peak, situated about 2.5 mi. SSE. of the head 

 of Hope Bay and 4 mi. NE. of Duse Bay, at the 

 NE. end of Palmer Pen.; in 63°27'S., 57°02'W. This 

 area was first explored by the SwedAE, 1901-4. 

 Summit Ridge was first charted and named by the 

 FIDS, 1945. The feature takes its name from near- 

 by Summit Pass. 



Sundholmen: see Hum Islet. 



SUNSET FJORD: inlet about 1 mi. wide, in the 

 SW. corner of the Bay of Isles, South Georgia; in 

 54°03'S., 37°28'W. Sunset Fjord was charted in 

 1912-13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, American 

 naturalist aboard the brig Daisy. So named by 

 Murphy because from his anchorage in the Bay 

 of Isles the sun appeared to set directly behind 

 this feature. Not adopted: Rosita Bay. 



SUNSHINE GLACIER: glacier, about 5 mi. long 

 and 3 mi. wide, flowing S. into Iceberg Bay on the 

 S. coast of Coronation I., South Orkney Is.; in 

 60°39'S., 45°30'W. It is the largest glacier on 

 the S. side of Coronation I. and terminates in ice 



cliffs up to 200 ft. high. Surveyed in 1948-49 by 

 the FIDS, and so named by them because, when 

 all else was in shadow, small gaps in the clouds 

 above frequently allowed patches of sunshine to 

 appear on the surface of this glacier. 



SUPPORTING PARTY MOUNTAIN: peak stand- 

 ing at the W. end of the Harold Byrd Mtns. which 

 lie between the head of Ross Ice Shelf and Leverett 

 Gl.; in about 85°27'S., 147°50'W. Disc, by the 

 ByrdAE, 1928-30, and named by the Geological 

 Sledging Party of that exp. in honor of the splendid 

 cooperative work of their Supporting Party. Not 

 adopted: Supporting Party Mountains. 



SURF ROCK: low rock 0.5 mi. W. of the W. tip 

 of Neny I. and 0.2 mi. SE. of Rimaway It., lying in 

 Marguerite Bay off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 68°12'S., 67°06'W. First roughly charted in 1936 

 by the BGLE under Rymill. It was surveyed in 

 1947 by the FIDS who so named it because of the 

 noise of the surf breaking. 



SUSA POINT : low rocky point marking the sea- 

 ward end of a small E.-W. ridge separating two 

 tussock grass covered fiats, lying 0.25 mi. S. of the 

 S. side of the entrance to King Edward Cove in 

 Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia; in 54°17'S., 

 36°30'W. The point was roughly surveyed by the 

 SwedAE, 1901-4, under Nordenskjold. Named by 

 the FIDS following their sketch survey in 1951. 

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

 covery Pt., derived from the chemical fixatives used 

 there in biological work by the FIDS. 



Svarthovden: see Falla Bluff. 



Svart oya: see Black Island. 



SVART PEAK: peak with rock outcropping 

 about 15 mi. WNW. of Stefansson Bay, on Kemp 

 Coast; in about 67°15'S., 58°33'E. Mapped by 

 Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs 

 taken by a Nor. exp. under Christensen in January- 

 February 1937 and so named by them because of 

 its black appearance. 



Svend Foyn Coast: see Foyn Coast. 



SVENNER ISLETS: small group of rocky islets 

 and rocks, marked by a large islet at its NE. end and 

 extending about 4 mi. to the SW., lying about 13 

 mi. N. of Hovde Ice Tongue, off Ingrid Christensen 

 Coast; in about 69°01'S., 76°35'E. Disc, in Febru- 

 ary 1935 by the Nor. exp. under Mikkelsen, who 

 charted the two main islets in the group and ap- 

 plied the name Svenner, after the islands by that 

 name lying off Sandefjordsfjord, Norway. Not 

 adopted: Svenner [Norwegian] , Svenner Islands.
