[edit] King Cliffs

'''King Cliffs''' ({{coor dm|72|18|S|96|7|W|}}) is an ice-covered cliffs, with numerous rock exposures, forming the south side of the larger north arm of [[Morgan Inlet]], on [[Thurston Island]].

King]], geologist, member of the [[Ellsworth Land Survey]] which worked at the cliffs in the 1968-69 season.

Klutschak]], Austrian artist who accompanied the American sealing schooner [[Flying Fish]] to South Georgia in 1877-78 and published a narrative of his activities with a sketch map in 1881.

[edit] Koppen Point

'''Koppen Point''' ({{coor dm|54|30|S|36|2|W|}}) is a point marking the northeast side of the entrance to [[Moltke Harbor]] in [[Royal Bay]], [[South Georgia]]. The name Koppenberg was originally given by the German group of the [[International Polar Year Investigations]], 1882-83, to a small hill lying close inland from the point now described, and about 0.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (0.8 [[Kilometer|km]]) east of the German base. It was named for Professor [[W. Koppen]] (1846-1940), noted meteorologist and climatologist, who had recommended the establishment of a high level observatory near the base. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the hill is too small and unimportant to require a name, but that one is needed for the nearby point. For the sake of historical continuity, the name of Koppen is transferred to this previously unnamed point; the name Koppenberg is rejected.
