GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



TRIPP, MOUNT: mountain about 7,880 ft. in el., 

 standing in the Queen Alexandra Range about 

 midway between Shackleton Inlet and Beardmore 

 GL, on the W. side of Ross Ice Shelf; in about 

 83°09'S., 166°25'E. Disc, by the BrAE, 1907-9, 

 under Shackleton who named this feature for 

 Leonard Tripp, of New Zealand, who was of as- 

 sistance to this exp. and to Shackleton's ship- 

 wrecked exp. of 1914-16. 



TRIPP BAY: bay about 5 mi. long and wide, 

 formed by a recession in the coastal piedmont at 

 the foot of Albrecht Penck and Fry Glaciers, along 

 the coast of Victoria Land; in about 76°38'S., 

 162°50'E. This bay was first charted by the BrAE, 

 under Shackleton. The name Tripp Bay appears 

 to have been first used by the BrAE under Scott, 

 1910-13, and derives from Tripp Island, which lies 

 within the bay. 



TRIPP ISLAND: glaciated island in the center 

 of Tripp Bay, lying about 2 mi. from the shore on 

 either side, off the coast of Victoria Land; in about 

 76°38'S., 162°37'E. Disc, by the BrAE, 1907-9, un- 

 der Shackleton, and named by him for Leonard 

 Tripp. 



TRISTAN ISLET: small rocky islet, lying about 

 0.7 mi. W. of Yseult It. and about 0.3 mi. NNW. of 

 the W. point on Cape Jules, off Adelie Coast; in 

 66°44'S., 140°54'E. Photographed from the air by 

 the FrAE under Barre, 1951-52, and so named be- 

 cause of its twin relationship with Yseult It. 

 Tristan is the popular spelling of Tristram, leg- 

 endary hero incorporated into Arthurian legend 

 and later popularized by Wagner's opera "Tristan 

 und Isolde." Not adopted: Rocher Noir [French]. 



TRITON POINT: rocky point forming the E. 

 end of the high ridge separating Venus and Nep- 

 tune Glaciers, on the E. coast of Alexander I Is- 

 land; in 71°42'S., 68°12'W. The coast in this 

 vicinity was first explored from the air and partially 

 photographed by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 

 1935, and was roughly surveyed in 1936 by the 

 BGLE under Rymill. The point was surveyed in 

 1949 by the FIDS, and was named by them for its 

 association with Neptune Glacier; Triton being a 

 satellite of Neptune. 



TRITOPPEN PEAK: a triple-suijimit peak about 

 4,400 ft. in el., standing S. -of Mt. Hordern in the 

 David Range of the Framnes Mtns., on Mac-Robert- 

 son Coast; in about 68°00'S., 62°32'E. Mapped by 

 Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs 

 taken by a Nor. exp. under Christensen in January 

 1937. The name is descriptive,, meaning "the 

 three-peaked mountain." Not adopted: Tritoppen 

 [Norwegian] . 



TROIS PfiREZ, CAPE: promontory forming the 

 N. side of the entrance to Beascochea Bay, on the 

 W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°26'S., 64°06'W. 

 Disc, by the BelgAE under De Gerlache, 1897-99, 

 but apparently not named by them until about 

 1904, when in working up their scientific reports 

 they gave to it the name Trooz. In the meantime, 

 the FrAE under Charcot, 1903-5, left for the Ant- 

 arctic and in November 1904 re-sighted the same 

 cape, to which they gave the name Trois Pferez, for 

 the brothers Fernando, Leopoldo, and JManuelo 

 Perez of Buenos Aires. Maurice Bongrain in his 

 report of 1914 acknowledges the Belgian name 

 Trooz for this cape. However, the US-ACAN has 

 retained the Charcot name of Trois Perez because 

 of its long usage, and has applied the name Trooz 

 Glacier (q.v.) to the large glacier immediately N. 

 of Cape Trois Perez. Not adopted: Cap de Trooz 

 [French], Cape Perez, Cape Trois Perez. 



TROOZ GLACIER: glacier about 5 mi. wide and 

 some 15 mi. long, flowing W. and entering Gran- 

 didier Chan, between Cape Tuxen and Cape Trois 

 Perez, on the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°22'S., 

 63°55'W. Disc, by the FrAE, 1908-10, under Char- 

 cot. Named for J. de Trooz, Belgian Minister of 

 the Interior and Public Instruction, who was 

 instrumental in procuring funds for the publica- 

 tion of the scientific results of the BelgAE, 1897-99, 

 under De Gerlache. This name was suggested by 

 the US-ACAN because of duplication of naming 

 for what is now known as Cape Trois Perez (q.v.). 



TROUBRIDGE, MOUNT: prominent mountain 

 peak of the Admiralty Range in northern Victoria 

 Land; in about 71°12'S., 168°00'E. Disc, in Janu- 

 ary 1841 by a Br. exp. under Ross, who named it 

 for R. Adm. Sir Edward Thomas Troubridge, one 

 of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty at that 

 time. Not adopted: Mount Trowbridge. 



TROUSERS ROCK: rock with a prominent wave- 

 cut arch, lying immediately W. of Cook Rock, about 

 0.3 mi. NE. of Vindication I. in the South Sandwich 

 Is.; in 57°04'S., 26°45'W. Charted in 1930 and 

 given this descriptive name by DI personnel on the 

 Discovery II. 



Trowbridge, Mount: see Troubridge, Mount. 



TRUMP ISLETS: group of islets between Ex- 

 tension Reef and Turtle Islet, lying some 11 mi. 

 WNW. of Black Head, off the W. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in 66°02'S., 66°05'W. Disc, and named by 

 the BGLE, 1934-37, under Rymill. Not adopted: 

 Trump Islands. 



Tryggve Gran, Mount: see Gran, Mount.
