GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



Sverre Hassel, Mount: see Hassel, Mount. 



SVIP ROCKS: group of submerged rocks re- 

 ported to lie about 10 mi. WNW. of Rugged I., in 

 the South Shetland Is.; in about 62°31'S., 61°40'W. 

 The name seems first to appear on the charts of 

 the FrAE, 1908-10, under Charcot. It probably 

 derives from the Svip, a whale catcher operating in 

 the area at that time. Not adopted : Svip Rock. 



SWANN GLACIER: broad glacier of undeter- 

 mined length flowing E. into Wright Inlet, to the 

 N. of Mt. Tricorn, on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; 

 in 73°53°S., 61°48'W. The glacier was disc, and 

 photographed from the air in December 1940 by 

 members of East Base of the USAS. During 1947 

 it was photographed from the air by members of 

 the RARE, under Ronne, who in conjunction with 

 the FIDS charted it from the ground. Named by 

 Ronne for W. F. G. Swann, Dir. of the Barthol Re- 

 search Foundation of Franklin Inst, of Swarth- 

 more, Pa., a contributor to the expedition. 



SW ANSON MOUNTAINS: range of mountains 

 about 8 mi. long and about 3,000 ft. in el., lying 

 about 8 mi. ENE. of Mt. Rea, in the Edsel Ford 

 Ranges of Marie Byrd Land; in about 76°58'S., 

 145°00'W. Disc, on aerial flights by the ByrdAE 

 in 1934 and named for the Hon. Claude A. Swanson, 

 Sec. of the Navy, 1933-39. Not adopted: Claude 

 Swanson Mountains. 



SWARTLEY, MOUNT: peak in the Allegheny 

 Mtns., in the E. part of the Edsel Ford Ranges in 

 Marie Byrd Land; in about 77°15'S., 143°00'W. 

 Disc, in aerial flights from West Base of the USAS 

 in 1940 and named for Prof. Stanley Swartley, of 

 Allegheny College, Pennsylvania. 



SWEENEY MOUNTAINS: group of mountains 

 rising above Joerg Plateau; in about 75°45'S., 

 67°40'W. Disc, by the RARE, 1947-48, under 

 Ronne,, who named these mountains for Mrs. Ed- 

 ward C. Sweeney, a contributor to the expedition. 

 Not adopted: Catherine Sweeney Mountains. 



SWELL POINT: small, narrow point, about 1.2 

 mi. S. of Resolution Pt., along the E. coast and 

 near the SE. extremity of Cook I., South Sandwich 

 Is.; in 59°27'S., 27°06'W. It was named by DI 

 personnel following their survey in 1930. 



Swift Balch, Mount: see Balch, Mount. 



SWINE HILL: the southernmost of two rugged, 

 rocky knolls, about 1,800 ft. in el., standing about 

 10 mi. WNW. of the summit of Mt. Bagshawe on 

 the W. coast of Palmer Pen. and overlooking Gada- 

 rene Lake and George VI Sound; in 71°24'S., 

 67°33'W. This feature was first seen and photo- 



graphed from the air on Nov. 23, 1935 by Lincoln 

 Ellsworth, and was mapped from these photo- 

 graphs by W. L. G. Joerg. It was roughly sur- 

 veyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill, and re- 

 surveyed in 1948 by the FIDS, who erected a cairn 

 on the summit. Named by FIDS for its association 

 with Gadarene Lake (q.v.) and the incident of the 

 Gadarene swine. 



Swinford Glacier: see Berwick Glacier. 



SWINFORD GLACIER: tributary glacier enter- 

 ing the W. side of Beardmore Gl. between Mt. 

 Adams and the Marshall Mtns.; in about 84°37'S., 

 165'^45'W. This glacier was named Berwick Gla- 

 cier by the BrAE, 1907-9, under Shackleton, but a 

 subsequent cartographic error exchanging the po- 

 sitions of the Berwick and Swinford Glaciers on the 

 charts of the BrAE, 1910-13, under Scott, has 

 caused the name Swinford to become well estab- 

 lished for this glacier. The Berwick Glacier lies 

 about 10 mi. SW. of Swinford Glacier. Not 

 adopted: Berwick Glacier (q.v.). 



S.W. Point: see South West Point. 



Sydney Herbert Sound: see Sidney Herbert 

 Sound. 



Syd Victoria Land: see Victoria Land. 



Syren Bay: see Siren Bay. 



SYREZOL, CAPE : cape at the E. side of the en- 

 trance to Admiralty Bay, King George I., in the 

 South Shetland Islands; in 62°11'S., 58°17'W. 

 Charted and probably named by the FrAE, 1908-10, 

 under Charcot. 



TABARIN PENINSULA: peninsula about 14 mi. 

 long and 10 mi. wide, lying S. of the trough be- 

 tween Hope Bay and Duse Bay and forming the S. 

 portion of the NE. extremity of Palmer Pen.; in 

 63°30'S., 57°00'W. Disc, by the SwedAE, 1901-4, 

 under Nordenskjold. It was charted in 1946 by 

 the FIDS and named after Operation Tabarin, the 

 naval code name for the FIDS from 1943 to 1945. 



TABLE ISLAND: conspicuous flat-topped island

 Robert I., in the South Shetland Is.; in 62°20'S.,

 back to at least 1822 and is now established inter- 

 national usage. 



Table Mountain: see Two-Step Cliffs. 



TABLE NUNATAK: fiat-topped, rectangular 

 nunatak lying about 0.5 mi. E. of Cape Agassiz, on
