[edit] Mount Supernal

'''Mount Supernal''' ({{coor dm|73|4|S|165|42|E|}}) is a large double summit [[mountain]] (3,655 m) surmounting the southeast corner of [[Hercules Neve]] and the heads of the Gair and [[Meander Glaciers]], in [[Victoria Land]]. The feature has at times been mistaken for [[Mount Murchison]]. Named by the northern party of [[New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition]] (NZGSAE), 1962-63, because of its prominent and lofty appearance.

[edit] Supporters Range

'''Supporters Range''' ({{coor dm|85|4|S|169|30|E|}}) is a rugged range of mountains, 25 [[Mile|mile]]s (40 [[Kilometer|km]]) long, bordering the east side of [[Mill Glacier]], from [[Keltie Glacier]] in the north to [[Mill Stream Glacier]] in the south. So named by the [[New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition]] (NZGSAE) (1961-62) because several peaks of the range are named after supporters of Shackleton's expedition, the [[British Antarctic Expedition]] (1907-09).

[edit] Surf Rock

'''Surf Rock''' ({{coor dm|68|12|S|67|6|W|}}) is a low rock 0.5 [[Mile|mile]]s (0.8 [[Kilometer|km]]) west of the west tip of [[Neny Island]] and 0.2 [[Mile|mile]]s (0.3 [[Kilometer|km]]) southeast of [[Runaway Island]], lying in [[Marguerite Bay]] off the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First roughly charted in 1936 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill. It was surveyed in 1947 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) who so named it because of the noise of the surf breaking.

Named by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN).

First mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos, 1960-64. So named by [[New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition]] (NZGSAE) (1969-70) because, in the middle of an extensive region of purely basement rocks, slightly altered sedimentary rocks which seem to belong to the much younger Beacon series appear on this spur.

[edit] Syrezol Rocks

'''Syrezol Rocks''' ({{coor dm|62|11|S|58|17|W|}}) is a small group of rocks lying 1 [[Mile|mile]] (1.6 [[Kilometer|km]]) west of [[Martins Head]] at the east side of the entrance to [[Admiralty Bay]], [[King George Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. In 1908-10, the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot assigned the name "[[Cap Syrezol]]" to a feature between what is now Martins Head and [[Chabrier Rock]]. Since there is no distinctive point or cape in this position, the name has been applied to these rocks in order to preserve Charcot's naming in the area in which it was originally given.
