[edit] Sewing-Machine Needles

'''Sewing-Machine Needles''' ({{coor dm|62|58|S|60|30|W|}}) is a three prominent rock needles, the highest 45 m, lying close southeast of [[Rancho Point]], [[Deception Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name [[Sewing-Machine Rock]] was given by whalers for what was originally a conspicuous natural arch. Needles is now considered the more suitable descriptive term; an earthquake tremor in 1924 caused the arch to collapse.

[edit] Seymour Island

'''Seymour Island''' ({{coor dm|64|17|S|56|45|W|}}) is an [[island]] 10 [[Mile|mile]]s (16 [[Kilometer|km]]) long and 5 [[Mile|mile]]s (8 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide at its greatest breadth, lying 1 [[Mile|mile]] (1.6 [[Kilometer|km]]) northeast of [[Snow Hill Island]] at the south margin of Erebus and [[Terror Gulf The]] northeast end of this feature was sighted by a British expedition under Ross, [[January 6]], [[1843]], and named [[Cape Seymour]] after [[R. Admiral George Francis Seymour]]. Its insular nature was determined by Captain [[C.A. Larsen]] in 1892-93 and the name Seymour has since been extended to the entire island.

[edit] Shackleton Coast

'''Shackleton Coast''' ({{coor dm|82|0|S|162|0|E|}}) is that portion of the coast along the west side of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] between [[Cape Selborne]] and [[Airdrop Peak]] at the east side of [[Beardmore Glacier]].

[edit] Shackleton Ice Shelf

'''Shackleton Ice Shelf''' ({{coor dm|66|0|S|100|0|E|}}) is an extensive [[ice shelf|ice shelf]] fronting the coast of Antarctica for about 240 [[Mile|mile]]s (380 [[Kilometer|km]]) (95E to l05E), projecting seaward about 90 [[Mile|mile]]s (140 [[Kilometer|km]]) in the west portion and 40 [[Mile|mile]]s (60 [[Kilometer|km]]) in the east. The existence of this ice shelf was first made known by the [[United States Exploring Expedition]] under Wilkes who mapped a portion of it from the Vincennes in February 1840. It was explored by the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] under Mawson (1911-14) who named it for [[Sir Ernest Shackleton]]. The extent of the ice shelf was mapped in greater detail in 1955, using aerial photography obtained by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. Further mapping by the [[Soviet Expedition]] of 1956 showed the portion eastward of [[Scott Glacier]] to be a part of this ice shelf.

'''Sherratt Bay''' ({{coor dm|62|2|S|57|50|W|}}) is a [[bay]] between [[Cape Melville]] and [[Penguin Island]] on the south side of [[King George Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]].

[edit] Simpson Glacier

'''Simpson Glacier''' ({{coor dm|71|17|S|168|38|E|}}) is a [[glacier]], 6 [[Mile|mile]]s (10 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, in the [[Admiralty Mountains]]. It flows northward to the coast between [[Nelson Cliff]] and [[Mount Cherry-Garrard]] where it forms the [[Simpson Glacier Tongue]]. The latter feature was named by the [[British Antarctic Expedition]], 1910-13, after [[Sir George Simpson]], meteorologist of the expedition. The glacier described was mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS), 1960-63, and was so named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) because (with [[Fendley Glacier]] to the east) it nourishes the Simpson Glacier Tongue.
