 mi. long, with steep sharp peaks, lying W. of Moore 

 Embayment along the W. side of Ross Ice Shelf; 

 in about 78°50'S., 160°30'E. Disc, by the BrNAE, 

 1901-4, under Scott. The name seems to be first 

 applied on the charts of the BrAE, 1907-9, under 

 Shackleton. 



WORDIE ICE SHELF: a confluent glacier pro- 

 jecting as an ice shelf into the SE. part of Mar- 

 guerite Bay, between Cape Berteaux and Mt. 

 Edgell, along the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 69°15'S., 67°45'W. Disc, by the BGLE under Ry- 

 mill, 1934-37, who named this feature for James 

 M. Wordie, Honorary Sec. (later Pres.) of the Royal 

 Geographical Soc, member of the Discovery Com- 

 mittee, and Chairman of the Scott Polar Research 

 Institute. He also had been geologist and Chief 

 of the Scientific Staff of the Br. exp., 1914-16, un- 

 der Shackleton. Not adopted: Wordie Shelf Ice. 



WORDIE NUNATAK: rock outcrop lying about 

 10 mi. E. of Mt. Biscoe, in Enderby Land; in about 

 66°19'S., 51°50'E. Disc, in January 1930 by the 

 BANZARE, 1929-31, under Mawson, and named 

 for James M. Wordie. 



WORDIE POINT: the SW. tip of Visokoi I., in 

 the South Sandwich Is.; in 56°44'S., 27°15'W. The

 Discovery II and named for James M. Wordie. 



Wordie Shelf Ice: see Wordie Ice Shelf. 



WORSLEY, CAPE: dome-shaped cape about 700 

 ft. in el., with snow-free cliffs on the S. and E. 

 sides, standing about 22 mi. WSW. of Cape Sobral, 

 on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 64°39'S., 60°25'W. 

 Charted by the FIDS in 1947 and named for Cdr. 

 Frank A. Worsley, British polar explorer and mem- 

 ber of Sir Ernest Shackleton's expeditions of

WORSWICK HILL : rounded summit, more than 

 2,000 ft. in el., at the W. end of Brisbane Plateau, 

 Coronation I., South Orkney Is.; in 60°34'S., 

 45°46'W. The peak appears on some early charts 

 of the South Orkney Is. but is not accurately lo- 

 cated. It was roughly surveyed by DI personnel 

 in 1933, and resurveyed by the FIDS in 1948-49. 

 Named by the Br-APC for Robert F. Worswick of 

 the FIDS, meteorologist at Signy I. in 1950 and 

 1951, who reached this hill during a sledge journey 

 in 1950. 



WRIGHT, MOUNT: peak in the Admiralty Range 

 in northern Victoria Land, standing NE. of Mt. 

 Adam; in about 71°20'S., 169°20'E. This peak was 

 charted by the Northern Party of the BrAE under 

 Scott, 1910-13, and named for Charles S. Wright, 

 physicist with the expedition. 



WRIGHT GLACIER: glacier flowing into the S. 

 part of Wilson Piedmont Gl., on the coast of Vic- 

 toria Land; in about 77°30'S., 163°08'E. This fea- 

 ture appears on the charts of the BrNAE under 

 Scott, 1901-4, and the BrAE under Shackleton, 

 1907-9. It was recharted by the BrAE under Scott, 

 1910-13, and named for Charles S. Wright. 



WRIGHT INLET: ice-filled inlet receding west- 

 ward between Capes Little and Wheeler, along the 

 E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 74°00'S., 61°20'W. The 

 inlet was photographed from the air in 1940 by the 

 USAS, and 1947 by the RARE under Ronne. 

 Named by Ronne foy John K. Wright, Dir. of the 

 American Geographical Soc, which lent its aus- 

 pices to Ronne's expedition. Not adopted: Mount 

 Tricorn Inlet. 



WRIGLEY GULF: an embayment E. of Hobbs 

 Coast, in Marie Byrd Land, the greater part of 

 which appears to be occupied by Getz Ice Shelf; in 

 about 74°S., 129°W. The topographical definition 

 of this feature must remain indefinite until clari- 

 fied by further exploration. Disc, in December 

 1940 by the USAS. Named for Philip Wrigley, 

 Chicago manufacturer who helped support the ex- 

 pedition. Not adopted: Philip Wrigley Gulf.

 indenting the E. side of Merz Pen. between Cape 

 Christmas and Old Mans Head, along the E. coast 

 of Palmer Pen.; in 72°20'S., 60°50'W. This inlet 

 was photographed from the air in 1940 by mem- 

 bers of the USAS. During 1947 the inlet was pho- 

 tographed from the air by members of the RARE, 

 who in conjunction with the FIDS charted it from 

 the ground. Named by the FIDS for Prof. Georg 

 Wiist, German oceanographer. 



WYATT, MOUNT: flat- topped mountain rising 

 to about 9,000 ft. in el., standing at the SE. end of 

 the Rawson Mtns., in the Queen Maud Range; in

 1934 by the ByrdAE geological party under Quin 

 Blackburn, and named at that time by R. Adm. 

 Byrd for Miss Jane Wyatt, friend of Richard S.
