[edit] Bowers Mountains

'''Bowers Mountains''' ({{coor dm|71|10|S|163|15|E|}}) is a group of north-south trending mountains, about 90 [[Mile|mile]]s (140 [[Kilometer|km]]) long and 35 [[Mile|mile]]s (60 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide, bounded by the coast on the north and by the Rennick, Canham, Black and [[Lillie Glaciers]] in other quadrants. The seaward end was first sighted in February 1911 from the [[Terra Nova]], under Lieutenant [[Harry L.L. Pennell]], [[Royal Navy]], and subsequently named "[[Bowers Hills]]." Lieutenant [[Henry R. Bowers]] perished with Captain [[Robert F. Scott]] on the return from the [[South Pole]] in 1912. The feature was photographed from [[U.S. Navy]] aircraft in 1946-47 and 1960-62, and was surveyed and mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) in 1962-63. The name was amended to Bowers Mountains upon USGS mapping which showed the group to be a major one with peaks rising to nearly 2,600 meters.

[edit] Breakwater Rocks

'''Breakwater Rocks''' ({{coor dm|54|12|S|36|35|W|}}) is a group of rocks extending across the south part of the entrance to [[Boat Harbor]] in [[Jason Harbor]], [[South Georgia]]. The name "[[The Breakwater]]" was probably given by Lieutenant Commander [[J.M. Chaplin]], [[Royal Navy]], during his survey of Jason Harbor in 1929. The SGS, 1956-57, reported that the name is misleading; the rocks are not in a continuous straight line forming a natural breakwater, but are in a group. The name was therefore altered to Breakwater Rocks by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1957.

[edit] Breakwind Ridge

'''Breakwind Ridge''' ({{coor dm|54|9|S|36|50|W|}}) is a prominent rocky ridge which is 2 [[Mile|mile]]s (3.2 [[Kilometer|km]]) long in a north-south direction and rises to 860 m, close southwest of the head of [[Fortuna Bay]] on the north coast of [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Breakwind Range]] was probably applied by DI personnel who mapped Fortuna Bay in 1929-30. Following a resurvey by the SGS, 1951-52, the descriptive term was altered to ridge, which is more suitable for this relatively small feature. The name suggests a beneficial function of this ridge in protecting anchorages at Fortuna Bay from violent southwest and westerly winds.

[edit] Brode Island

'''Brode Island''' ({{coor dm|54|54|S|36|7|W|}}) is a small, rounded tussock-covered [[island]], 1 [[Mile|mile]] (1.6 [[Kilometer|km]]) southwest of [[Green Island]], off the south tip of [[South Georgia]]. First charted in 1775 by a British expedition under Cook. Roughly surveyed by a German expedition, 1928-29, under [[Kohl-Larsen]], who appears to have used the name "Hauptinsel" (head island) for this feature. Following a survey in 1951-52, the SGS reported that the name Brode (Norwegian word meaning loaf) is firmly established among whalers and sealers for this island and the name is approved on this basis.
