[edit] Babel Rock

'''Babel Rock''' ({{coor dm|63|53|S|61|24|W|}}) is the northernmost of a small group of rocks lying north of [[Intercurrence Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]]. Two of the rocks lying off the north end of Intercurrence Island were first charted and named [[Penguin Islands]] by [[James Hoseason]], [[First Mate]] of the sealer Sprightly, in 1824. Since the name has not been used in recent years, it has been rejected to avoid confusion with the many other "Penguin" names. Babel Rock, the largest and most conspicuous of the rocks, is the site of a penguin rookery and the name arises from the ceaseless noise.

'''Balleny Islands''' ({{coor dm|66|55|S|163|20|E|}}) is a group consisting primarily of three large and two smaller islands, heavily glaciated and volcanic in origin, lying 150 miles north-northeast of [[Cape Kinsey]], [[Oates Coast]]. The group trends NW-SE for nearly 100 miles. The islands were discovered by [[John Balleny]], commander of the [[Eliza Scott]], in February 1839. They were named in his honor by [[Captain Beaufort]], hydrographer to the Admiralty.

[edit] Mount Banck

'''Mount Banck''' ({{coor dm|64|54|S|63|3|W|}}) is a conspicuous [[mountain]] of red rock, 675 m, dominating the small [[peninsula]] just west of [[Mascias Cove]], on the west coast of [[Graham Land]].

The name [[Mount William]], given by Biscoe in 1832 to a mountain which he described as being on the mainland but now identified on [[Anvers Island]], has been used for the feature here described.

[edit] Barlow Island

'''Barlow Island''' ({{coor dm|62|52|S|62|21|W|}}) is a small [[island]] lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west-northwest of the north tip of [[Smith Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name Barlow, presumably for [[Peter Barlow]], British physicist and mathematician, was applied to a cape on the east side of Smith Island by a British expedition under Foster, 1828-31. In 1951-52, the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) determined that no significant cape exists on the east side of the island, but for the sake of historical continuity applied the name to the island described above.
