[edit] Rabot Point

'''Rabot Point''' ({{coor dm|64|17|S|57|20|W|}}) is a high rocky point on the east side of [[James Ross Island]]. It lies in [[Markham Bay]] and separates the mouths of Gourdon and [[Hobbs Glaciers]]. The name "[[Rabot Gletscher]]" after the French glaciologist, [[Charles Rabot]], was originally given by [[Otto Nordenskjold]], leader of the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, to a small [[glacier]] close west of [[The Watchtower]] on the south side of the [[island]]. [[The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) surveyed the south part of the island in 1953 and found that the glacier is very insignificant and does not require a name. In order to preserve the name Rabot in the vicinity, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) has applied it to the point described.

[edit] Rainbow Ridge

'''Rainbow Ridge''' ({{coor dm|78|6|S|165|24|E|}}) is a small ridge which forms a distinct western rim to the large crater-like depression high in the central part of [[Brown Peninsula]], in [[Victoria Land]]. Given this geologically descriptive name by the [[New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (NZ-APC), it arose from investigations by the [[New Zealand Geological Survey]] and the [[Victoria University Expedition]] in 1964-65. The top of the ridge has been planed off by subsequent glaciation and the resultant surface exposes two basalt "pipes" ([[Nubian Formation]]) within the trachyte. These have altered the trachyte at their margins to various shades of brown, hence the name of the ridge.

[edit] Ramp Rocks

'''Ramp Rocks''' ({{coor dm|53|59|S|38|18|W|}}) is a three barren rocks, the largest being 23 m high, lying 2.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (4.0 [[Kilometer|km]]) northwest of [[Johannesen Point]], [[Main Island]], at the west extremity of [[South Georgia]]. The name "Laavebrua," a descriptive Norwegian term meaning literally "threshing floor bridge" or "barn bridge," was used for the largest rock by whalers and sealers at South Georgia. [[In Norwegian]] barns used for storing hay, there is a ramp up which the wagons are driven before tipping. "Laavebrua," which is not strictly translatable, is this ramp. The [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) recommended in 1954 that "[[Ramp Rock]]" be approved for the large rock, but in 1976 altered the name to Ramp Rocks to include the three rocks. The name [[Lavebrua Island]] is already approved for an [[island]] near [[Deception Island]].

[edit] Ranvik Island

'''Ranvik Island''' ({{coor dm|68|54|S|77|50|E|}}) is a rocky [[island]], 1.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (2.4 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, which is the largest island in the southern part of the [[Rauer Islands]].

Mapped by Norwegian cartographers, as being connected to the mainland, from air photos taken by the [[Lars Christensen Expedition]] (1936-37). They gave the name "Ranviktangen" (the Ranvik tongue) because of its association with Ranvik Bay. The [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) has approved [[John H.

[edit] Reeves Bluffs

'''Reeves Bluffs''' ({{coor dm|79|36|S|158|40|E|}}) is a line of east-facing rock bluffs, 8 [[Mile|mile]]s (13 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, situated 15 [[Mile|mile]]s (24 [[Kilometer|km]]) west of [[Cape Murray]] in the [[Cook Mountains]]. Discovered by the ''Discovery'' expedition (1901-04) under Captain [[Robert F. Scott]], who gave the name "[[Mount Reeves]]," after [[Edward A. Reeves]], [[Map Curator]] to the [[Royal Geographical Society]], to a summit along this bluff. The bluff was mapped in detail by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photography (1959-63). Since a prominent [[mountain]] does not rise from the bluffs, and because the name Mount Reeves is in use elsewhere in Antarctica, the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) (1965) recommended that the original name be amended and that the entire line of bluffs be designated as Reeves Bluffs.

[edit] Relay Bay

'''Relay Bay''' ({{coor dm|71|30|S|169|32|E|}}) is an arm of [[Robertson Bay]], about 5 [[Mile|mile]]s (8 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide, lying between [[Islands Point]] and [[Penelope Point]] along the north coast of [[Victoria Land]]. First visited on [[October 4]], [[1911]] by the [[Northern Party]], led by [[Victor Campbell]], of the [[British Antarctic Expedition]], 1910-13. So named because they found it necessary to relay their sledges owing to the heavy pressure ridges encountered here. The Nielsen, Ommanney, Crume and [[Reusch Glaciers]] flowing into the [[bay]] contribute to these pressures.

[edit] Relay Hills

'''Relay Hills''' ({{coor dm|69|29|S|68|0|W|}}) is a group of low, ice-covered hills, mainly conical in shape, between [[Mount Edgell]] and [[Kinnear Mountains]] in western [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. First roughly surveyed from the ground by [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), 1936-37. Photographed from the air by [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), November 1947. Resurveyed by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), November 1958. The name, applied by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC), arose because both the BGLE and the FIDS sledging parties had to relay their loads through this area to the head of [[Prospect Glacier]].

[edit] Relict Lake

'''Relict Lake''' ({{coor dm|62|57|S|60|36|W|}}) is a small [[lake]] lying southeast of [[Pendulum Cove]] on [[Deception Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. So named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1957 because when Lieutenant [[E.N. Kendall]] made his survey of Deception Island in [[January-March]] 1829, Pendulum Cove extended inland to this lake, which has since been cut off from the sea.

[edit] Relief Inlet

'''Relief Inlet''' ({{coor dm|75|13|S|163|45|E|}}) is a narrow inlet at the southwest corner of [[Terra Nova Bay]].

So named by the [[South Magnetic Polar Party]], led by [[T.W.E. David]], of the [[British Antarctic Expedition]], 1907-09, because, after almost giving up hope of rescue, the Nimrod picked up the party here.

'''Relief Pass''' ({{coor dm|79|49|S|158|23|E|}}) is a pass, about 1,000 m high, situated 1 [[Mile|mile]] (1.6 [[Kilometer|km]]) north of [[Bastion Hill]] in the [[Brown Hills]]. Explored by the [[Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition]] (VUWAE), 1962-63, and so named by its members because of the relief it provided after ascent to this pass.

[edit] Reluctant Island

'''Reluctant Island''' ({{coor dm|67|50|S|67|5|W|}}) is a small [[island]] off eastern [[Horseshoe Island]]. Surveyed by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1955-57. So named because of the feature's apparent reluctance to be recognized as an island; it did not appear on maps of the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) 1934-37 and was mapped as a [[cove]] by FIDS in 1948-50.

[edit] Remington Glacier

'''Remington Glacier''' ({{coor dm|78|34|S|84|18|W|}}) is a steep [[glacier]] about 7 [[Mile|mile]]s (11 [[Kilometer|km]]) long in the southeast part of the [[Sentinel Range]], [[Ellsworth Mountains]]. It rises just north of [[McPherson Peak]] and flows east-southeast to debouch between the terminus of [[Hough Glacier]] and [[Johnson Spur]]. Discovered by [[U.S. Navy Squadron VX]]-6 on photographic flights of December 14-15, 1959, and mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from these photos. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for [[Edward W. Remington]], glaciologist at the [[South Pole Station]] during the IGY in 1957.

[edit] Remus Glacier

'''Remus Glacier''' ({{coor dm|68|20|S|66|43|W|}}) is a [[glacier]], 8 [[Mile|mile]]s (13 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, which flows from the north slopes of [[Mount Lupa]] northwestward along the northeast side of the [[Blackwall Mountains]] into [[Providence Cove]], [[Neny Fjord]], on the west coast of [[Graham Land]].
