[edit] Smoky Wall

'''Smoky Wall''' ({{coor dm|54|35|S|36|11|W|}}) is a prominent [[mountain]] block, 1,840 m, in the northwest part of the [[Salvesen Range]] of [[South Georgia]]. The name "Wetterwand" (weather wall) was given to this mountain by the German group of the [[International Polar Year Investigations]], 1882-83, but the name did not become established. The feature was surveyed by the SGS, 1951-52, who reported that when viewed from the northeast, its summit is level and regular and has the appearance of a wall. The descriptive name Smoky Wall was recommended by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1954.

[edit] Smyley Island

'''Smyley Island''' ({{coor dm|72|55|S|78|0|W|}}) is an ice-covered [[island]], 38 [[Mile|mile]]s (60 [[Kilometer|km]]) long and from 8 to 21 [[Mile|mile]]s (34 [[Kilometer|km]]) wide, lying at the south side of [[Ronne Entrance]] and just northeast of [[Rydberg Peninsula]], [[Ellsworth Land]]. The feature is almost wholly surrounded by an [[ice shelf|ice shelf]], which gives an erroneous impression that the island is joined to Ellsworth Land. This larger composite feature was observed from aircraft by members of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS), 1939-41, who gave the name "[[Cape Smyley]]" to the projecting ice shelf at the northwest extremity. The [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) has withdrawn that name on the basis of the 1968 [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) map of the area and has approved the name Smyley Island for the island described. Named after Captain [[William H. Smyley]], American master of the sealing vessel Ohio during 1841-42. Captain Smyley, in February 1842, recovered the self-recording thermometer left at [[Pendulum Cove]], [[Deception Island]], by Captain [[Henry Foster]] of the be 0.5F.

[edit] Cape Smyth

'''Cape Smyth''' ({{coor dm|67|37|S|164|40|E|}}) is the southern extremity of [[Sturge Island]] in the [[Balleny Islands]]. In 1841, Captain [[James C.

He named the southernmost "[[Smyth Island]]" for his friend Captain [[William Henry Smyth]], [[Royal Navy]], President of the [[Royal Astronomical Society]]. Ross' error was discovered in 1904 by Captain [[Robert F. Scott]], who applied the name to the southernmost point on Sturge Island.

Its insular character was determined in 1902 by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]] under Nordenskjold.

[edit] South Orkney Islands

'''South Orkney Islands''' ({{coor dm|60|35|S|45|30|W|}}) is a group of two larger and several smaller mountainous, barren islands covered with ice and snow and surrounded by many rocks, lying northeast of the [[Antarctic Peninsula]] between 6020S and 6050S, and 4420W and 46457W. Discovered on the occasion of the joint cruise by Captain [[George Powell]], a British sealer in the sloop Dove, and Captain [[Nathaniel Palmer]], an American sealer in the sloop [[James Monroe]], in December 1821. The islands were named Powell's Group on Powell's chart, published in England, [[November 1]], [[1822]]. They were explored and roughly recharted by Captain [[James Weddell]], British sealer, in 1823. Weddell's chart carried the name South Orkney Islands, which became accepted internationally. Subsequent charts of the group were published by the French expedition under Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville, 1837-40, and by the Norwegian whaling captain [[Petter Sorlle]], 1912-13. A running survey of the islands was completed in 1933 by DI personnel on the [[Discovery II]]. Further surveys were made by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in the period 1947-50.

[edit] South Sandwich Islands

'''South Sandwich Islands''' ({{coor dm|57|45|S|26|30|W|}}) is a chain of north-south trending volcanic islands lying northward of [[Weddell Sea]] and extending 190 [[Mile|mile]]s (300 [[Kilometer|km]]) from [[Zavodovski Island]] on the north to [[Southern Thule]] on the south. Discovered and roughly charted in 1775 by Captain [[James Cook]] who gave the name "[[Sandwich Land]]" for the fourth Earl of Sandwich, then [[First Lord]] of the Admiralty.

[edit] South Shetland Islands

'''South Shetland Islands''' ({{coor dm|62|0|S|58|0|W|}}) is a group of more than twenty islands and islets lying northward of [[Antarctic Peninsula]] and extending about 280 [[Mile|mile]]s (450 [[Kilometer|km]]) from [[Smith Island]] and [[Snow Island]] in the west-southwest to [[Elephant Island]] and [[Clarence Island]] in the east-northeast The islands were sighted by Captain [[William Smith]] of the brig Williams in February 1819 while cruising close to the northern edge of the islands. The name "[[New South Britain]]" was used briefly, but was soon changed to South Shetland Islands. The name is now established international usage.

Nichols]], geologist for Metcalf and Eddy, Engineers, Boston, MA, which made engineering studies here under contract to the [[U.S. Navy]] in the 1957-58 season. So named by Nichols because the stream was located south of the U.S. Navy installations in the Marble Point area.

[edit] Specimen Nunatak

'''Specimen Nunatak''' ({{coor dm|67|59|S|66|46|W|}}) is a small but distinctive rock pinnacle that rises above the ice of [[Swithinbank Glacier]] about 4 [[Mile|mile]]s (6 [[Kilometer|km]]) south of the [[glacier]] terminus, in [[Graham Land]]. The feature was visited on [[February 9]], [[1941]] by [[Herbert G. Dorsey]] and [[Joseph D. Healy]] of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS), 1939-41, who gave the name because the pinnacle was a good example of a [[nunatak]] projecting above a broad ice field.
