[edit] Cape Margerie

'''Cape Margerie''' ({{coor dm|66|49|S|141|23|E|}}) is a low, ice-covered cape, marked by prominent rock outcrops at its north end, lying midway between [[Cape Mousse]] and [[Lacroix Nunatak]] and bounded on the north by numerous rocky islands. Charted by the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] under Mawson, 1911-14, who named this feature for Emmanuel de Margerie, French geographer and geologist. Cape Margerie served as the main base site for [[French Antarctic Expedition]] parties under Liotard, in 1950-51, and Barre, in 1951-52, until fire destroyed the main buildings of their base, known as [[Port Martin]], in January 1952.

[edit] Maria Creek

'''Maria Creek''' ({{coor dm|77|37|S|163|3|E|}}) is a glacial meltwater stream, 0.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (0.8 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, which flows from the snout of [[Canada Glacier]] in [[Taylor Valley]], [[Victoria Land]]. It drains northeast, close to the [[glacier]], entering the west end of [[Lake Fryxell]] to the west of [[Bowles Creek]] and [[Green Creek]]. The name was suggested by [[Diane McKnight]], [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) hydrologist working in the Lake Fryxell basin, 1987-94, and alludes to the many aeolian deposits of fine sands along the creek, indicative of strong winds blowing around the south end of Canada Glacier during the winter. Named from "[[They Called]] the [[Wind Maria]]," a song in [[Paint Your Wagon]], the American musical play by Lerner and Loewe.

[edit] Marian Cove

'''Marian Cove''' ({{coor dm|62|13|S|58|48|W|}}) is a cove indenting the southwest part of [[King George Island]] between [[Collins Harbor]] and [[Potter Cove]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name was used by Scottish geologist [[David Ferguson]] in a 1921 report based upon his investigations of King George Island in 1913-14, but may reflect an earlier naming.

[edit] Marie Byrd Land

'''Marie Byrd Land''' ({{coor dm|80|0|S|120|0|W|}}) is that portion of Antarctica lying east of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] and the [[Ross Sea]] and south of the [[Pacific Ocean]], extending eastward approximately to a line between the head of the Ross Ice Shelf and [[Eights Coast]]. The inclusion of the area between the [[Rockefeller Plateau]] and Eights Coast is based upon the leading role of [[Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd]] in the exploration of this area. The name was originally applied by [[Admiral Byrd]] in 1929, in honor of his wife, to the northwestern part of the area, the part that was explored in that year.

[edit] Marie Island

'''Marie Island''' ({{coor dm|66|7|S|65|45|W|}}) is an [[island]] 2 [[Mile|mile]]s (3.2 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, which lies immediately north of [[Cape Evensen]], [[Graham Land]]. The name "[[Pointe Marie]]," after the elder sister of Dr. [[Jean B. Charcot]], was applied by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] (1903-05) to a point on the coast close north of Cape Evensen. After the French Antarctic Expedition (1908-10) Charcot re-applied the name to the south tip of an island, "[[Ile Waldeck-Rousseau]]," in approximately the same latitude. Correlating its survey with those of Charcot, the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) (1934-37) identified "Ile Waldeck-Rousseau" as [[Waldeck-Rousseau Peak]] on the mainland. The most prominent feature near the [[peak]] requiring a name is the island described. The name Marie Island for this feature preserves Charcot's naming in the locality.

[edit] Mariner Glacier

'''Mariner Glacier''' ({{coor dm|73|15|S|167|30|E|}}) is a major [[glacier]] over 60 [[Mile|mile]]s (100 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, descending southeast from the plateau of [[Victoria Land]], between [[Mountaineer Range]] and [[Malta Plateau]], and terminating at [[Lady Newnes Bay]], [[Ross Sea]], where it forms a floating glacier tongue. Its lower reaches and entrance to its [[valley]] were reconnoitered in December 1958 by Captain [[John Cadwalader]], [[U.S. Navy]], and two members of [[New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition]] (NZGSAE), in a flight from the icebreakers [[USS Glacier|USS ''Glacier'']] and [[USS Staten Island|USS ''Staten Island'']] which were lying close off the south end of [[Coulman Island]], in an attempt to land expedition members on the mainland. Named by NZGSAE, 1958-59, as a tribute to the work of mariners in Antarctic research and exploration.

[edit] Mariner Islands

'''Mariner Islands''' ({{coor dm|66|1|S|101|9|E|}}) is a group of rocky islands and rocks forming the north-central group of the [[Highjump Archipelago]], bounded by [[Edisto Channel]] on the west, [[Gossard Channel]] on the south, and [[Remenchus Glacier]] on the east. Mapped from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47, and named by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) to commemorate the discovery of a large ice-free region at the west end of the [[Knox Coast]] by the crew of the PBM-[[Martin Mariner]] seaplane commanded by [[D.E. Bunger]]. During photographic reconnaissance of this coastal area in January 1947, the aircraft landed on one of the inlets indenting the [[Bunger Hills]] and ground-level photographs and water samples were obtained at that time.

[edit] Marinovic Beach

'''Marinovic Beach''' ({{coor dm|77|35|S|163|34|E|}}) is a gently sloping beach on the south shore of [[Explorers Cove]], [[New Harbor]], on the [[Scott Coast]] of [[Victoria Land]]. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) after [[Baldo Marinovic]], graduate student (biology), University of California, [[Santa Cruz]], and member of the 1985 winter party at [[McMurdo Station]]. During 1984-85, the sea off this beach was a site for the study of reproductive biology and larval ecology of shallow-water echinoderms by biologists of the University of California, Santa Cruz. The name came into local use following the selection of the beach by Marinovic, correctly, as a likely place to study echinoderms.
