[edit] Eadie Island

'''Eadie Island''' ({{coor dm|61|28|S|55|57|W|}}) is an [[island]] 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long which lies between Aspland and O'[[Brien Islands]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The island was charted in February 1821 by a Russian expedition under Bellingshausen, who gave the name "[[Ostrova Tri Brata]]" (three brothers islands) for the present Aspland, Eadie and O'Brien Islands. Eadie Island was named by Lieutenant [[L.C. Hill]], [[Royal Navy Reserve]], captain of the [[Discovery II]], which engaged in survey work in the area in 1936-37, for the dockyard manager of the [[Melbourne Harbour Trust]] of Williamstown, Australia.

[edit] Eklund Islands

'''Eklund Islands''' ({{coor dm|73|16|S|71|50|W|}}) is a group of islands which rise through the ice near the southwest end of [[George VI Sound]]. The largest [[island]], 5 nautical miles (9 km) in extent and rising to 410 m, was discovered in December 1940 by [[Finn Ronne]] and [[Carl R. Eklund]] of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) during their 1,097-mile sledge journey south from [[Stonington Island]] to the southwest part of George VI Sound and return. At that time this large island, named by Ronne for Eklund, ornithologist and assistant biologist of the expedition was the only land protruding above an area of hummocky ice. [[V.E. Fuchs]] and [[R.J. Adie]] of the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) sledged to the southwest part of George VI Sound in 1949, at which time, because of a recession of the ice in the [[sound]], they were able to determine that the island discovered by Ronne and Eklund is the largest of a group of mainly ice-covered islands. On the basis of original discovery, the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) recommends that the name Eklund be applied to the island group rather than the single island discovered by Ronne and Eklund.

[edit] Elephant Cove

'''Elephant Cove''' ({{coor dm|54|9|S|37|41|W|}}) is a small circular [[cove]] lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) north of [[Klutschak Point]] along the south coast and near the west end of [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Elephant Bay]], probably applied by early sealers at South Georgia, was recorded on the chart of the German expedition under [[Kohl-Larsen]], 1928-29, and the chart by DI personnel who mapped South Georgia in this period. Cove is considered a better descriptive term for the feature.

[edit] Elephant Moraine

'''Elephant Moraine''' ({{coor dm|76|17|S|157|20|E|}}) is an isolated moraine, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, located 27 nautical miles (50 km) west of [[Reckling Peak]], to the west of the head of [[Mawson Glacier]] in [[Victoria Land]]. The moraine, described in some reports as an ice core moraine, is situated along a long, narrow patch of bare ice that extends west from Reckling Peak for 60 miles. The feature was noted in U.S. satellite imagery of 1973, and in aerial photographs obtained subsequently, by [[William R. MacDonald]] of [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS), who originally described it to [[William A. Cassidy]] as "a possible [[nunatak]] having an outline similar to an elephant." [[Several United States Antarctic Research Program]] (USARP) field parties led by Cassidy successfully searched for meteorites at this moraine from the 1979-80 season. The descriptive name was approved by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 1989.

[edit] Ellsworth Mountains

'''Ellsworth Mountains''' ({{coor dm|78|45|S|85|0|W|}}) is a major group of mountains, 200 nautical miles (370 km) long and 30 nautical miles (60 km) wide, which trend NNW-SSE and rise from the relatively featureless snow plain that borders the western margin of the [[Ronne Ice Shelf]]. They are bisected by [[Minnesota Glacier]] to form the northern [[Sentinel Range]] and the southern [[Heritage Range]]. The former is by far the higher and more spectacular with [[Vinson Massif]] (5,140 m) constituting the highest point on the continent. The mountains were discovered on [[November 23]], [[1935]], by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] in the course of a trans-Antarctic flight from [[Dundee Island]] to the [[Ross Ice Shelf]]. He gave the descriptive name Sentinel Range. The mountains were mapped in detail by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from ground surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photography, 1958-66. When it became evident that the mountains comprise two distinct ranges, the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) restricted the application of Sentinel Range to the high northern one and gave the name Heritage Range to the southern one; the Committee recommended the name of the discoverer for this entire group of mountains.

[edit] Emerald Cove

'''Emerald Cove''' ({{coor dm|61|35|S|57|46|W|}}) is a [[cove]] 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, lying between [[North Foreland]] and [[Brimstone Peak]] on the north coast of [[King George Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name Shireff's Cove (sic) was given by [[William Smith]] in 1819, after Captain [[William H. Shirreff]], [[Royal Navy]], to whom he reported his discovery of the South Shetland Islands. In 1820, Smith's description of his landing on North Foreland was confused with his description of features on northern [[Livingston Island]], and the name was applied to a feature on that [[island]], where it has been officially accepted. Emerald Cove was applied by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1960 and is for the brig Emerald (Captain [[John G. Scott]]) from Boston, MA, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21 in company with the Esther. These two vessels rescued the crew of the Venus from [[Esther Harbor]] in March 1821.
