[edit] Mount F. L. Smith

'''Mount F. L. Smith''' ({{coor dm|83|38|S|169|29|E|}}) is a [[mountain]], 2,635 m, standing 1 [[Mile|mile]] (1.6 [[Kilometer|km]]) northeast of [[Mount Fox]] in the [[Queen Alexandra Range]]. Discovered by the [[British Antarctic Expedition]] (1907-09) and named for [[F.L. Smith]], London tobacconist, who was a supporter of the expedition.

[edit] Factory Bluffs

'''Factory Bluffs''' ({{coor dm|60|43|S|45|36|W|}}) is the bluffs rising to 120 m to the south of Signy station and [[Factory Cove]], on the east side of [[Signy Island]]. Named by [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) after the small shore-based whaling station that operated in the 1920-30 period below the bluffs on the shores of Factory Cove.

[edit] Factory Cove

'''Factory Cove''' ({{coor dm|60|43|S|45|37|W|}}) is a small cove entered between [[Knife Point]] and [[Berntsen Point]] in the south part of [[Borge Bay]] at [[Signy Island]], in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. The cove was roughly surveyed by the Norwegian whaling captain [[Hans Borge]] in 1913-14, and was named "[[Borge Havna]]" on a map of that period by [[Petter Sorlle]]. The name of Borge was later transferred to the [[bay]] of which this cove forms a small part. The cove was resurveyed by DI personnel in 1927 and renamed Factory Cove, because the ruins of the whaling factory built in 1920-21 by the [[Tonsberg Hvalfangeri]] stand on its southeast shore.

'''Factory Point''' ({{coor dm|54|8|S|36|41|W|}}) is a small point on the west side and close to the head of [[Leith Harbor]], in [[Stromness Bay]], [[South Georgia]].

[edit] False Cape Renard

'''False Cape Renard''' ({{coor dm|65|2|S|63|50|W|}}) is a rocky cape 1.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (2.4 [[Kilometer|km]]) southwest of [[Cape Renard]], on the west coast of [[Graham Land]].

This feature and Cape Renard together were called "[[The Needles]]" by [[Henryk Arctowski]], geologist, oceanographer and meteorologist with the Belgian expedition. Since the two capes are easily confused and need to be distinguished, a collective name is considered unsuitable. False Cape Renard was applied by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot, 1908-10.

[edit] Ferguson Peak

'''Ferguson Peak''' ({{coor dm|54|47|S|35|50|W|}}) is a [[peak]], 560 m, standing close west of the head of [[Cooper Bay]] in the east extremity of [[South Georgia]]. Photographed by [[Niall Rankin]] during his visit to South Georgia in 1947. Rankin did not disclose the locality because he wished to protect the fur seals found there and shown in his photo. The photo was identified as the feature now described by the [[British South Georgia Expedition]], 1954-55, and the peak was unofficially named [[Fur Seal Peak]]. Since [[Bird Island]], at the west end of South Georgia, is now the only place where fur seals breed, this name is misleading. A new name, Ferguson Peak was recommended by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1957 for [[David Ferguson]], a Scottish geologist, who carried out geological investigations in South Georgia in 1911-12 for Messrs. Chr. Salvesen and Company.

[edit] Ferrar Glacier

'''Ferrar Glacier''' ({{coor dm|77|46|S|163|0|E|}}) is a [[glacier]] about 35 [[Mile|mile]]s (60 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, flowing from the plateau of [[Victoria Land]] west of the [[Royal Society Range]] to [[New Harbor]] in [[McMurdo Sound]]. The glacier makes a right (east) turn northeast of Knobhead, where it is apposed, i.e., joined in Siamese-twin fashion, to [[Taylor Glacier]]. From there, it continues east along the south side of [[Kukri Hills]] to New Harbor. Discovered by the ''Discovery'' expedition (1901-04) under Captain [[Robert F. Scott]], R.N., who named this feature for [[Hartley T. Ferrar]], geologist of the expedition. The name Ferrar Glacier was originally applied both to the part of this glacier below its right turn and to the present Taylor Glacier. Griffith Taylor, geologist of the [[British Antarctic Expedition]] (1910-14) under Scott, found evidence that these are not two parts of a single glacier but are two glaciers apposed. With this discovery Scott gave the names Ferrar Glacier and Taylor Glacier essentially as now applied; the Taylor Glacier makes a left turn at [[Cavendish Rocks]] and drains east along the north side of Kukri Hills.

'''Filchner Ice Shelf''' ({{coor dm|79|0|S|40|0|W|}}) is the [[ice shelf|ice shelf]] lying between [[Berkner Island]] and [[Luitpold Coast]], at the head of [[Weddell Sea]]. Over 200 [[Mile|mile]]s (320 [[Kilometer|km]]) long and 100 [[Mile|mile]]s (160 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide, the feature is nourished primarily by the Slessor, Recovery, and [[Support Force Glaciers]], all located east of Berkner Island. The east part of Filchner Ice Shelf was discovered in [[January-February]] 1912 by the [[German Antarctic Expedition]] under [[Wilhelm Filchner]]. Filchner named the feature for [[Kaiser Wilhelm]], but the Emperor requested it be named for its discoverer. The ice shelf lying west of Berkner Island has now been found to be a distinct feature (see [[Ronne Ice Shelf]]). The latter was first seen and explored by the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), 1947-48, under Commander [[Finn Ronne]].

[edit] Filla Island

'''Filla Island''' ({{coor dm|68|49|S|77|50|E|}}) is a rocky [[island]] over 3 [[Mile|mile]]s (4.8 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, located in the north part of the [[Rauer Islands]] and being the largest island in the group. Charted by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the [[Lars Christensen Expedition]] (1936-37). They gave the name Filla (the tatters) to a larger island here, presumably for the ragged outline of the feature as shown on the Norwegian chart. In 1952, [[John Roscoe]] made a study of this area as revealed in aerial photographs taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]] (1946-47). He found that what the Norwegians had named Filla was in fact a cluster of small islands. He applied the name Filla Island to the largest of these as described.
