[edit] Emona Anchorage

'''Emona Anchorage''' ({{coor dm|62|37|S|60|20|W|}}) is a roughly square embayment forming the head of [[South Bay]], [[Livingston Island]]. Over 100 m deep at its central portion northwest by north of [[Spanish Point]]. Entered between [[Hesperides Point]] and a nameless cape lying 3,180 m northwest by north of it and 30-40 m northeast by east of [[Ereby Point]]. Next east-northeast of the second cape a nameless 710 m wide [[cove]] is indenting for 250 m, with a shoal east of that cape and a small awash inlet 550 m due northeast of it. A nameless narrow crescent-shaped moraine reef off the cove's entrance is extending 600 m, partly exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide but for the islet rising to near 3 m at its northeast extremity. A nameless ice-free tipped cape forms the east-northeast side of the entrance to the cove located 3,140 m north-northwest of Hesperides Point and 2,920 m west of [[Aleko Rock]]. The remaining northwest coast of Emona Anchorage is, with several minor disruptions, a narrow beach under the [[ice cap|ice-cap]] cliff, with a rectilinear ice scarp-slope running parallel some 100 m inland. That section of the coast is 2,150 m long, featuring a single minor point lying 3,510 m north of Hesperides Point and 1,970 m west-northwest of Aleko Rock. An ice sea cave located 870 m east-northeast of that point and 1,450 m northwest of Aleko Rock marks the beach end and the north corner of the [[bay]]. The northeast coast except for Aleko Rock is formed by a [[glacier]] snout, while [[Bulgarian Beach]] accounts for most of the southeast coast. A longitudinal depression in [[Perunika Glacier]] running westward from [[Rezen Knoll]] ends in the indentation forming the east corner of the bay, located 930 m southeast of Aleko Rock and 3,000 m northeast of Hesperides Point. The Emona Anchorage beaches and drifting sea ice are favored by a fairly small number of penguins and seals, usually comprising chinstrap, gentoo and Adelie penguins and Wendell, crabeater, leopard and incidentally fur seals. Emona is the name of a village and, in the version of Emine, a nearby cape on the [[Black Sea]] coast.

[edit] Endeavour Massif

'''Endeavour Massif''' ({{coor dm|76|33|S|162|2|E|}}) is a huge, flat-topped massif on the [[Scott Coast]] of [[Victoria Land]]. The massif extends south from [[Pa Tio Tio Gap]] to [[Fry Glacier]] and forms the south block of the [[Kirkwood Range]] ([[Robertson Massif]] forms the north block). Shoulder Mountain, [[Mount Belgrave]] and [[Mount Creak]] rise from the south part of the massif. Steep coastal cliffs and projecting ridges mark the east margin, but there is a gentle slope west from the massif's broad, plateaulike snow summit. This feature was originally named [[Mount Endeavour]] by the [[New Zealand Northern Survey Party]] of [[Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition]] in October 1957, but on subsequent [[New Zealand]] and U.S. maps the name is identified as an 1800 m summit 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Mount Creak. Following additional mapping by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) in 1999 and consultation between [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) and [[New Zealand Geographic Board]] (NZGB), the name of the south block of Kirkwood Range was amended to Endeavour Massif to provide terminology better suited to the complex nature of the feature. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Endeavour has been retained for the summit northwest of Mount Creak. Both features are named after HMNZS Endeavour (formerly [[John Biscoe]]), supply ship to the 1957 New Zealand Northern Survey Party.

[edit] Mount Endeavour

'''Mount Endeavour''' ({{coor dm|76|33|S|162|0|E|}}) is an 1810 m summit 1 nautical mile (1.9 km). north of the base of [[Ketchum Ridge]] in the south part of [[Endeavour Massif]], [[Kirkwood Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. The name Mount Endeavour was given to the south block of the Kirkwood Range by the [[New Zealand Northern Survey Party]] of [[Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition]] in October 1957, but in subsequent [[New Zealand]] and U.S. maps the name is identified as the 1810 m summit described above. Following additional mapping by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) in 1999 and consultation between [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) and [[New Zealand Geographic Board]] (NZGB), the name Endeavour Massif was approved for the south block of the Kirkwood Range. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Endeavour has been retained for the summit near Ketchum Ridge. The summit and the massif are named after HMNZS Endeavour (formerly [[John Biscoe]]), supply ship to the 1957 New Zealand Northern Survey Party.

[edit] Erratic Point

'''Erratic Point''' ({{coor dm|53|4|S|73|22|E|}}) is a small, moss-covered point at the head of [[South West Bay]], 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km) northeast of [[Cape Gazert]], on the west side of [[Heard Island]]. The [[German Antarctic Expedition]] in 1902 charted a cape in this vicinity, from the summit of [[Mount Drygalski]], and applied the name "[[Kap Lerche]]." [[In November]] 1929 the [[British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition]] (BANZARE) under Mawson charted a small point in this position and applied the name [[Erractic Point]] because of the large number of massive erractic boulders encountered there. The ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) was unable to find any significant feature in this immediate area during their 1948 survey of the [[island]], hence the name Erratic Point was retained by them for this small point.

[edit] Erskine Glacier

'''Erskine Glacier''' ({{coor dm|66|29|S|65|40|W|}}) is a [[glacier]] 16 nautical miles (30 km) long on the west coast of [[Graham Land]], flowing west into [[Darbel Bay]] to the north of [[Hopkins Glacier]]. First surveyed by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1946-47, and named [[West Gould Glacier]]. With [[East Gould Glacier]] it was reported to fill a transverse depression across Graham Land, but further survey in 1957 showed no close topographical alignment between the two. The name Gould has been limited to the east glacier and an entirely new name, for [[Angus B. Erskine]], leader of the first FIDS party to travel down the glacier and to survey it in detail, has been approved for the west glacier.

[edit] Erskine Iceport

'''Erskine Iceport''' ({{coor dm|69|56|S|19|12|E|}}) is an iceport, about 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide and 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, which marks a more-or-less permanent indentation extending southeast into the seaward front of the extensive [[ice shelf]] fringing [[Queen Maud Land]]. The "[[General Erskine Bay]]" was applied by [[U.S. Navy Operation Deepfreeze I]] personnel on the USS Glacier who made a running survey of this coast in March 1956. The term iceport was suggested by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 1956 to denote an ice shelf indentation, subject to configuration changes, which may offer anchorage or possible access to the upper surface of an ice shelf via ice ramps along one or more sides of the feature. Named for General [[Graves B. Erskine]], [[United States Marine Corps]] (USMC) (Ret.), director of the Office of [[Special Operations]], Dept. of the Navy, who assisted in formulating expedition plans and policy.

The mountain rises to 600 m and is similar to the flat [[Cape Beck]] massif that forms the south end of the [[island]]. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) (1999) after [[Steve A. Estes]], [[Geophysical Institute]], University of Alaska, Fairbanks, who investigated the seismicity of nearby [[Mount Erebus]], 1980-81 and 1981-82.

[edit] Eta Island

'''Eta Island''' ({{coor dm|64|19|S|62|55|W|}}) is an [[island]], 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long, which lies immediately north of [[Omega Island]] in the [[Melchior Islands]], [[Palmer Archipelago]]. This island, the largest feature in the northeast part of the Melchior Islands, is part of what was called "[[Ile Melchior]]" by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot, 1903-05, but the name Melchior now applies to the whole island group. Eta Island was roughly surveyed by DI personnel in 1927. The name Eta, derived from the seventh letter of the Greek alphabet, appears to have been first used on a 1946 Argentine government chart following surveys of the Melchior Islands by Argentine expeditions in 1942 and 1943.

[edit] Eternity Range

'''Eternity Range''' ({{coor dm|69|46|S|64|34|W|}}) is a range of mountains 28 nautical miles (50 km) long, rising 2,860 m, and trending north-south approximately in the middle of the [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. Eternity Range is divided into three main [[mountain]] blocks, the major summits in each from north to south being [[Mounts Faith]], Hope and Charity. These four names were applied by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] who discovered the range from the air during his flights of November 21 and 23, 1935. [[In November]] 1936, the range was surveyed by [[J.R. Rymill]] of [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) who gave the name [[Mount Wakefield]] to the central mountain in the range. This complication by Rymill, and uncertainty as to the precise location or extent of Ellsworth's discovery, hindered for a time a resolution of its nomenclature (i.e., following the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS), 1939-41, the name Eternity Range or [[Eternity Mountains]] was incorrectly applied to the present [[Welch Mountains]] 60 miles farther south). A careful study of the original reports, maps and photographs, and comparison with materials from subsequent expeditions such as [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), 1947, and [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), 1960, has led to the conclusion that the range described comprises at least the core of Ellsworth's Eternity Range and appropriately commemorates his discovery. The name Wakefield, given by Rymill, has been transferred to nearby [[Wakefield Highland]].
