[edit] Ickes Mountains

'''Ickes Mountains''' ({{coor dm|75|29|S|139|45|W|}}) is a series of coastal mountains that extend west from [[Strauss Glacier]] for 15 [[Mile|mile]]s (24 [[Kilometer|km]]) in [[Marie Byrd Land]]. The mountains were discovered from aircraft of the [[U.S. Antarctic Service]] on [[December 18]], [[1940]]. The name Ickes Mountains, after Sec. of the [[Interior Harold L. Ickes]], appeared in the maps and reports resulting from this expedition although Ickes objected and never acquiesced to the use. Nonetheless, the name became established in usage and in 1966 was approved by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN). The U.S. Antarctic Service was established in the Division of Territories and [[Island Possessions]] of the Department of the Interior in 1939, during the period (1933-46) that Ickes was secretary.

'''Iris Bay''' ({{coor dm|54|42|S|35|56|W|}}) is a small [[bay]] immediately south of [[Muller Point]] at the east end of [[South Georgia]], lying 6 [[Mile|mile]]s (10 [[Kilometer|km]]) northwest of [[Cape Vahsel]], along the embayment between Cape Vahsel and [[Cape Charlotte]]. The name [[Sandwich Bay]], for [[John Montagu]], 4th Earl of Sandwich, was given to the whole embayment between Cape Vahsel and Cape Charlotte in 1775 by a British expedition under Cook. The name was later restricted on maps to the small bay described, since a name for the large embayment was not considered useful. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the name Iris Bay for the same feature is well established in use among the whalers and sealers in South Georgia, and that the name Sandwich Bay is unknown locally. Iris Bay is approved to conform with local usage.
