Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) aircraft in 1956. The name was first applied by [[John Biscoe]] in 1831 to a feature which cannot now be identified. It was probably named after one of the [[Enderby Brothers]], owners of Biscoe's vessel.

[edit] Herbert Sound

'''Herbert Sound''' ({{coor dm|63|55|S|57|40|W|}}) is a [[sound]] extending from [[Cape Lachman]] and [[Keltie Head]] on the northwest to the narrows between [[The Naze]] and [[False Island Point]] on the southeast, separating [[Vega Island]] from [[James Ross Island]] and connecting [[Prince Gustav Channel]] with Erebus and [[Terror Gulf]]. On [[January 6]], [[1843]] Captain [[James Clark Ross]] discovered a broad embayment east of the sound, which he named [[Sidney Herbert Bay]] after the Hon. [[Sidney Herbert]], M.P., [[First Secretary]] to the Admiralty, 1841-45. The sound proper was discovered and charted by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, under Nordenskjold, who included it with the broad embayment under the name [[Sidney Herbert Sound]]. The recommended application restricts Herbert Sound to the area west of the narrows between The Naze and False Island Point; the embayment discovered by Ross forms the west margin of Erebus and Terror Gulf.

[edit] Heritage Range

'''Heritage Range''' ({{coor dm|79|45|S|83|0|W|}}) is a major [[mountain]] range, 100 [[Mile|mile]]s (160 [[Kilometer|km]]) long and 30 [[Mile|mile]]s (48 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide, situated southward of [[Minnesota Glacier]] and forming the southern half of the [[Ellsworth Mountains]]. The range is complex, consisting of scattered ridges and peaks of moderate height, escarpments, hills and [[nunatak]]s, the various units of relief set off by numerous intervening glaciers. The northern portion of the range was probably first sighted by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] in the course of his trans-Antarctic flight of [[November 23]], [[1935]]. In December 1959, [[E.C. Thiel]], [[J.C. Craddock]] and [[E.S. Robinson]] conducted an aerial reconnaissance of the area, landing on a [[glacier]] in the northern part of the range. During the 1962-63 and 1963-64 seasons, the University of Minnesota expeditions made geologic and cartographic surveys of the range. The entire range was mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from aerial photographs taken by the [[U.S. Navy]], 1961-66. So named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) because topographic units within the range have received names relating to the theme of American heritage.

[edit] Hermes Glacier

'''Hermes Glacier''' ({{coor dm|68|59|S|65|15|W|}}) is a [[glacier]] 8 [[Mile|mile]]s (13 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, flowing west into [[Weyerhaeuser Glacier]] in northern [[Graham Land]]. Surveyed in January 1960 by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) who discovered the glacier after several fruitless attempts to find a route out of the mountains east of [[Earnshaw Glacier]]. It provided an ideal "road" back to known country and was therefore named after Hermes, the god of roads in Greek mythology. This name by [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) initiated the idea of naming other features in this area after Greek gods.

'''Hero Bay''' ({{coor dm|62|31|S|60|27|W|}}) is a [[bay]] 17 [[Mile|mile]]s (27 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide which indents for 6 [[Mile|mile]]s (10 [[Kilometer|km]]) the north side of [[Livingston Island]] between [[Cape Shirreff]] and [[Williams Point]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name [[Blythe Bay]], originally applied to a small bay on the southeast side of [[Desolation Island]] on Powell's chart of 1822 published by Laurie, was erroneously transferred to this bay in the l930s.

Larsen]], who named it after the Hertha, a ship which combined sealing and exploring activities along the west coast of Antarctic Peninsula under Captain [[C.J. Evensen]] in 1893-94. It was determined to be a nunatak by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]] under Nordenskjold during a sledge journey in 1902.

The summit is located 665 m southwest of [[Sinemorets Hill]] and 510 m northwest by north of Atlantic Club Peak. Snow free in the summer months. The feature takes its name from the adjacent [[Hesperides Point]]. The name does not have the accent acute over the second "e", because the [[Bulgarian Antarctic Institute]] reported that pronunciation by the Bulgarians at St. [[Kliment Ohridski Base]].

[edit] Heywood Island

'''Heywood Island''' ({{coor dm|62|20|S|59|41|W|}}) is a rocky, crescent-shaped [[island]] lying 1.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (2.4 [[Kilometer|km]]) west-northwest of the north tip of [[Robert Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name Heywood's Isles, for Captain [[Peter Heywood]], [[Royal Navy]], was given by [[George Powell]] in 1821-22 to a group of islands off the northwest coast of Robert Island. In 1935, DI personnel on the [[Discovery II]] charted these islands, giving the name [[Hummock Island]] to the feature here described. Air photos now show that a group name for the islands is not required and the name [[Heywood Islands]] has been vacated. The alteration of Hummock Island to Heywood Island retains Powell's original naming in the area and eliminates a duplicate name.

First explored by the ''Discovery'' expedition (1901-04) under Scott. Scott's second expedition, the [[British Antarctic Expedition]] (1910-13), explored the area more thoroughly and named the glacier for Professor [[William H. Hobbs]] of the University of Michigan, an authority on glaciology.

[edit] Hobbs Islands

'''Hobbs Islands''' ({{coor dm|67|19|S|59|58|E|}}) is a group of islands 10 [[Mile|mile]]s (16 [[Kilometer|km]]) northeast of [[William Scoresby Bay]]. The largest [[island]] of this group was discovered on [[February 18]], [[1931]] by [[British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition]] (BANZARE) under Mawson who thought it to be a cape and called it [[Cape Hobbs]]. Later exploration by the [[William Scoresby]] expedition (1936) and the [[Lars Christensen Expedition]] (1936-37) showed it to be part of an island group. Named by Mawson for Professor [[William H. Hobbs]].
