[edit] Nachtigal Peak

'''Nachtigal Peak''' ({{coor dm|54|29|S|36|14|W|}}) is a rocky [[peak]] on a spur projecting northward from the southeast extremity of the [[Allardyce Range]], [[South Georgia]].

The name "[[Kleine Pic]]" ([[Little Peak]]) was given to this feature by the German group of the [[International Polar Year Investigations]], 1882-83. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that "Kleine Pic" is not particularly descriptive or distinctive for the peak described, and that name has been rejected. The name Nachtigal Peak, recommended by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1954, derives from nearby [[Nachtigal Glacier]], which was named by the German group of 1882-83.

[edit] Nattriss Head

'''Nattriss Head''' ({{coor dm|54|51|S|35|56|W|}}) is a small but prominent rock [[headland]] marking the south side of the entrance to [[Drygalski Fjord]] on the southeast coast of [[South Georgia]]. Charted by [[German Antarctic Expedition]], 1911-12, under Filchner. It was named [[Nattriss Point]] for [[E.A. Nattriss]], shipping officer to the [[Discovery Committee]], following survey by DI personnel in 1927. The name Nattriss Head is approved for this feature because the term head is more descriptive than point, and because acceptance of this form will avoid confusion with Nattriss Point (also named for E.A. Nattriss) on [[Saunders Island]] in the [[South Sandwich Islands]].

[edit] Nebles Point

'''Nebles Point''' ({{coor dm|62|11|S|58|52|W|}}) is a point forming the west side of the entrance to [[Collins Harbor]] in the southwest part of [[King George Island]], [[South Shetland Islands]]. On his chart of 1825, [[James Weddell]], Master, [[Royal Navy]], applied the name [[Nebles Harbour]] to Collins Harbor, or possibly to an anchorage close north of [[Ardley Island]]; the detail of this part of his map cannot be interpreted with certainty. Nebles Point was given by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1960 in order to preserve Weddell's naming in the area. The point lies between the two possible positions of his name.

'''Needle Peak''' ({{coor dm|62|44|S|60|11|W|}}) is a sharply-pointed black [[peak]], 370 m, standing at the west side of [[Brunow Bay]] on the south coast of [[Livingston Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The feature was named [[Barnards Peak]] on [[James Weddell]]'s chart published in 1825, but the name Needle Peak given by DI personnel following a 1935 survey has succeeded it in usage. The name [[Barnard Point]] has been approved for the nearby point at the southeast side of [[False Bay]].

'''Neighbour Peak''' ({{coor dm|54|31|S|36|6|W|}}) is a [[peak]] rising 1 [[Mile|mile]] (1.6 [[Kilometer|km]]) west of [[Pirner Peak]] at [[Royal Bay]], [[South Georgia]]. The [[British Combined Services Expedition]], 1964-65, identified this feature as "Nachbar" (meaning neighbor), the name used by the German expedition under Schrader, 1882-83. The [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) recommended in 1971 that "Nachbar" be used in the English form Neighbour and the descriptive term peak be added to it.

The [[bay]] was first charted by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37.

[edit] Neny Fjord

'''Neny Fjord''' ({{coor dm|68|16|S|66|50|W|}}) is a [[bay]] 10 [[Mile|mile]]s (16 [[Kilometer|km]]) long in an east-west direction and 5 [[Mile|mile]]s (8 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide, between [[Red Rock Ridge]] and [[Roman Four Promontory]] on the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. This coast was first explored in 1909 by Dr. [[Jean B. Charcot]] who, it appears, gave this name to a feature somewhat north of the bay described. The [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) made a detailed survey of this area in 1936-37, and in correlating their work with that of Charcot applied the name Neny Fjord to the bay between Red Rock Ridge and Roman Four Promontory. The name has become established in this latter position through international acceptance and use.

This feature together with [[Gibbs Glacier]], which flows southeast, occupy a transverse depression between Neny Fjord and [[Mercator Ice Piedmont]] on the east side of Antarctic Peninsula. The name Neny Glacier, derived from association with Neny Fjord, was first used by the [[U.S. Antarctic Service]], 1939-41, whose members used the glacier as a sledging route.

'''Neny Matterhorn''' ({{coor dm|68|20|S|66|51|W|}}) is a sharp, pyramid-shaped [[peak]] over 1,125 m, standing in the northwest part of the [[Blackwall Mountains]] on the south side of [[Neny Fjord]], [[Graham Land]]. First roughly surveyed in 1936-37 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill, and resurveyed in 1948-49 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS). The name was apparently first used by members of the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), 1947-48, under Ronne, and the FIDS, and derives from its location near Neny Fjord, and its resemblance to the [[Swiss Matterhorn]].

[edit] Mount Nicholas

'''Mount Nicholas''' ({{coor dm|69|22|S|69|50|W|}}) is a [[mountain]], 1,465 m, standing 5.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (9 [[Kilometer|km]]) south-southwest of [[Cape Brown]] and forming the north limit of [[Douglas Range]] on the east side of [[Alexander Island]].

The French Antarctic Expedition maps showed it as an [[island]], or possible [[headland]], separated by a channel from Alexander Island. The coast in this vicinity was photographed from the air in 1937 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), but Charcot's name which was altered to "[[Cape Nicholas]]," was applied in error to the seaward bulge of [[Mount Calais]], about 13 [[Mile|mile]]s (21 [[Kilometer|km]]) to the north-northwest Surveys in 1948 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) identified the feature originally named "Ile Nicolas II" by Charcot as the mountain described.

'''Nichols Ridge''' ({{coor dm|77|28|S|162|44|E|}}) is a rock ridge between [[Denton Glacier]] and [[Decker Glacier]] in east [[Asgard Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. The feature descends from heights north of [[Mount Newall]] to the snout of [[Wright Lower Glacier]] at the east end of [[Wright Valley]]. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) (1997) after [[Robert L. Nichols]] ([[Nichols Snowfield]]), one of the first American scientists to do geologic research in Wright Valley.

This ridge is in proximity to Meserve, Hart, Goodspeed, and [[Denton Glaciers]], named after four young geologists who worked in this area under Nichols in the 1958-59 field season.

[edit] Nilsen Bay

'''Nilsen Bay''' ({{coor dm|67|36|S|64|34|E|}}) is a small [[bay]] just west of [[Strahan Glacier]], and 18 [[Mile|mile]]s (29 [[Kilometer|km]]) east-southeast of [[Cape Daly]].
