GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



TRYGGVE POINT: rocky point about 0.75 mi. 

 NW. of Turks Head, on the W. side of Ross I.; in 

 about 77°39'S., 166°42'E. First charted by the 

 BrAE, 1910-13, under Scott, who named it for 

 Tryggve Gran, Norwegian ski expert with the ex- 

 pedition. 



TRYNE CHANNEL: small channel, between the 

 W. side of Tryne I. and Langnes Pen., which merges 

 at its S. end with Tryne Inlet, lying ofl the Vest- 

 fold Hills area of Ingrid Christensen Coast; in 

 about 68°27'S., 78°19'E. Charted in 1952 by John 

 H. Roscoe from aerial photographs taken by USN 

 Op. Hjp. in March 1947, and so named by him 

 because of the close association of this feature 

 with Tryne Island. 



TRYNE INLET: irregular-shaped inlet, whose 

 entrance is largely occupied by Tryne I., marked 

 by three divergent coves at its S. end, indenting 

 the N. side of Langnes Pen., along Ingrid Christen- 

 sen Coast; in about 68°28'S., 78°24'E. Charted by 

 Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs 

 taken in January 1937 by the Nor. exp. under Lars 

 Christensen, and named Tryne Fjord after nearby 

 Tryne Island (then Langnestrynet) . The generic 

 inlet is approved as a more appropriate term on 

 the basis of John H. Roscoe's 1952 compilation from 

 aerial photographs taken by USN Op. Hjp. in 

 March 1947. Not adopted: Tryne Fjord [Norwe- 

 gian]. 



TRYNE ISLAND: low, rocky island, about 2 mi. 

 long, marked by a prominent cove indenting its 

 W. side, lying in the entrance to Tryne Inlet along 

 the N. side of Langnes Pen., oflE the Vestfold Hills 

 area of Ingrid Christensen Coast; in about 68°27'S., 

 78°23'E. Charted by Norwegian cartographers 

 from aerial photographs taken in January 1937 

 by the Nor. exp. under Lars Christensen, and 

 named Langnestrynet, as this feature was believed 

 to form the NE. end of Langnes Pen. In 1952 this 

 extremity was determined to be an island by John 

 H. Roscoe, following his study of USN Op. Hjp. 

 aerial photographs taken in March 1947, who 

 named it Tryne Island. Tryne is a Norwegian word 

 meaning snout. Not adopted: Langnestrynet 

 [Norwegian] . 



TRYNE POINT: rocky point forming the W. 

 side of the entrance of Stefansson Bay, on Kemp 

 Coast; in about 67°17'S., 59°07'E. Charted by Nor- 

 wegian cartographers from aerial photographs 

 taken by the Nor. exp. imder Lars Christensen in 

 January-February 1937, and named Trynet, a Nor- 

 wegian word meaning "the snout." The form 

 Tryne, dropping the definite article, is approved 

 with the added generic term point. Not adopted: 

 Trynet [Norwegian] , Trynet Point, 



TRYNE STRAIT: small, narrow strait, between 

 the E. side of Tryne I. and Langnes Pen., which 

 merges at its S. end with Tryne Inlet, lying off the 

 Vestfold Hills area of Ingrid Christensen Coast; 

 in about 68°27'S., 78°25'E. Charted by Norwegian 

 cartographers from aerial photographs taken in 

 January 1937 by the Nor. exp. under Lars Chris- 

 tensen, and named Tryne Sund after nearby Tryne 

 Island (then Langnestrynet). The generic strait 

 is approved as a more appropriate term on the basis 

 of John H. Roscoe's 1952 compilation from aerial 

 photographs taken by USN Op. Hjp. in March 

 1947. Not adopted: Tryne Sund [Norwegian]. 



Tryne Sund: see Tryne Strait. 



Trynet; Trynet Point: see Tryne Point. 



TUCKER INLET: inlet in the coast of Victoria 

 Land, between Capes Wheatstone and Diniell; in 

 about 72°45'S., 170°00'E. Disc, in February 1841 

 by a Br. exp. under Ross, who named it for Charles 

 T. Tucker, master of the Erebus. 



TULA, CAPE: cape forming the NE. extremity 

 of Renaud I. in the Biscoe Is.; in 65°33'S., 65°34'W. 

 The Biscoe Is. were disc, in February 1832 by a 

 Br. exp. under John Biscoe, and were first roughly 

 surveyed by the FrAE, 1903-5, and FrAE, 1908-10, 

 both under Charcot. Renaud I. was again roughly 

 surveyed in 1935-36 by the BGLE under Rymill. 

 The cape was named in 1954 by the Br-APC after 

 the Tula, one of the two vessels of Biscoe's 1830-32 

 expedition. 



TULA RANGE: range of mountains reaching an 

 el. of 6,100 ft. at its highest point, Mt. Riiser- 

 Larsen. This range lies NE. of Ice Bay in Enderby 

 Land; in about 67°S., 51°E. Disc, on Jan. 14, 

 1930 by the BANZARE imder Mawson. Named 

 for John Biscoe's brig, the Tula, from which Bis- 

 coe disc. Enderby Land in 1831. 



TUMBLE GLACIER: glacier on the E. side of 

 Alexander I Island, about 7 mi. long and 3 mi. 

 wide, which flows E. from the cliffs of Mounts Eg- 

 bert, Ethelwulf and Ethelred into the W. side of 

 George VI Sound immediately S. of Mt. King; in 

 69°57'S., 69°20'W. First roughly surveyed in 1936 

 by the BGLE under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 

 by the FIDS, and so named by them because of 

 the extremely broken condition of the lower 

 reaches of the glacier. 



TUPINIER ISLETS: group of pyramid-shaped 

 islets lying off the NW. coast of Louis Philippe 

 Pen., about 3 mi. NW. of Cape Ducorps; in 63°22'S.,
