[edit] Schokalsky Bay

'''Schokalsky Bay''' ({{coor dm|69|15|S|69|55|W|}}) is a [[bay]], 9 [[Mile|mile]]s (14 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide at its entrance and indenting 6 [[Mile|mile]]s (10 [[Kilometer|km]]) between [[Mount Calais]] and [[Cape Brown]] along the east coast of [[Alexander Island]]. Hampton Glacier discharges tremendous amounts of ice into the head of Schokalsky Bay at a steep gradient causing the ice there to be extremely broken and irregular, and discourages use of this bay and [[glacier]] as an inland sledging route onto northeast Alexander Island. First sighted from a distance in 1909 and roughly charted by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot who, thinking it to be a strait, gave the name "[[Detroit Schokalsky]]" after [[Yuliy M. Shokal]]'skiy, Russian geographer, meteorologist and oceanographer. Charcot followed the spelling Schokalsky used by the man himself when writing in Roman script. The coast in this vicinity was photographed from the air and this bay roughly charted in 1937 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), but Charcot's "Detroit Schokalsky" was not identified. Surveys by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1948 identified this bay as the feature originally named by Charcot.

'''Scree Peak''' ({{coor dm|63|38|S|57|27|W|}}) is a conspicuous, flat-topped [[peak]] with talus-covered slopes, 560 m, standing at the northeast end of [[Eagle Island]] in [[Prince Gustav Channel]], off the south coast of [[Trinity Peninsula]]. Discovered by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) and so named following their 1945 survey. The name is descriptive of the slopes of the peak.

[edit] Screen Islands

'''Screen Islands''' ({{coor dm|65|1|S|63|43|W|}}) is a group of islands extending northwest from [[Aguda Point]] for 1.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (2.4 [[Kilometer|km]]) across the entrance to [[Hidden Bay]], off the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First charted by the [[Belgian Antarctic Expedition]] under Gerlache, 1897-99. So named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1958 because they form a screen across the entrance to Hidden Bay.

[edit] Scripps Heights

'''Scripps Heights''' ({{coor dm|69|8|S|63|40|W|}}) is a rugged heights which are largely ice covered, surmounting the [[cove]] between Casey and [[Lurabee Glaciers]] on the east coast of [[Palmer Land]]. Deeply scarred by glaciers, the heights terminate on the east in [[Cape Walcott]]. Discovered by [[Sir Hubert Wilkins]] in his pioneer flight on [[December 20]], [[1928]]. Thinking the feature to be a large [[island]] lying between two great transverse channels which completely severed [[Antarctic Peninsula]], he named it [[Scripps Island]] for [[William Scripps]] of Detroit, MI. Correlation of aerial photographs taken by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] in 1935 and preliminary reports of the findings of the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37, led [[W.L.G. Joerg]] to interpret this to be a peninsula. In published reports, members of the BGLE have concurred in this interpretation which was also borne out by the results of subsequent flights and a sledge trip from [[East Base]] by members of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) in 1940.

[edit] Scudding Glacier

'''Scudding Glacier''' ({{coor dm|76|54|S|160|45|E|}}) is an abrupt [[glacier]], 3 [[Mile|mile]]s (4.8 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, descending into the end of [[Alatna Valley]] from the south side of [[Mount Gunn]] in the [[Convoy Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. This high elevation glacier is adjacent to the neve of [[Cambridge Glacier]] and snow laden katabatic winds make their first descent into Alatna Valley over the glacier. Even on days of relatively light winds, snow clouds derived from the high neve may be seen swirling and scudding down this glacier. So named by the 1989-90 [[New Zealand Antarctic Research Program]] (NZARP) field party to the area.

[edit] Sentinel Range

'''Sentinel Range''' ({{coor dm|78|10|S|85|30|W|}}) is a major [[mountain]] range situated northward of [[Minnesota Glacier]] and forming the northern half of the [[Ellsworth Mountains]].

The range was first sighted and photographed from the air on [[November 23]], [[1935]], by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] who in naming it recognised its prominent position as a landmark on an otherwise featureless ice surface. The range was first visited and partially surveyed in January 1958 by the [[Marie Byrd Land Traverse]] party, led by [[Charles R. Bentley]].
