[edit] Fournier Island

'''Fournier Island''' ({{coor dm|64|33|S|62|49|W|}}) is a small [[island]] in southern [[Schollaert Channel]], lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) off the east extremity of [[Anvers Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]].

[edit] Foyn Point

'''Foyn Point''' ({{coor dm|65|15|S|61|38|W|}}) is a point, surmounted by a [[peak]] 525 m high, marking the north side of the entrance to [[Exasperation Inlet]], on the east coast of [[Graham Land]].

[edit] Francais Glacier

'''Francais Glacier''' ({{coor dm|66|33|S|138|15|E|}}) is a [[glacier]] 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide and 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, flowing north-northeast from the continental ice to the coast close west of [[Ravin Bay]]. Though no glaciers were noted on Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville's chart of this coast, the close correlation of his "Baie des Ravins" feature and narrative description with the indentation of the coast near the mouth of this glacier suggests first sighting of this feature by the French expedition, 1837-40. During December 1912 members of the [[Main Base Party]] of the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] camped on the upland slopes close east of the glacier, but no reference was made to the glacier in the Australasian Antarctic Expedition reports, though a clear view and unpublished sketch were obtained of the distant coast to the northwest. Delineated from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. The [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Marret, 1952-53, sledged west on the sea ice to the ice cliffs close east of the glacier. Named after the Charcot, 1903-05.

[edit] Francais Rocks

'''Francais Rocks''' ({{coor dm|63|2|S|56|0|W|}}) is a group of fringing rocks lying off the northeast coast of D'[[Urville Island]]. The name "Pointe des Francais" (point of the French) was given by Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville (French expedition, 1837-40) to the northeast point of the [[island]] which at that time was believed to be continuous with [[Joinville Island]]. Surveys by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) (1952-54) and aerial photographs by [[Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition]] (FIDASE) (1956-57) have not revealed a definable point hereabout. For the sake of historical continuity in the area, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) (1978) applied the name Francais Rocks to these fringing rocks.

[edit] Cape Frances

'''Cape Frances''' ({{coor dm|67|30|S|164|45|E|}}) is a cape on the east side of [[Sturge Island]] in the [[Balleny Islands]]. In 1841, Captain [[James C. Ross]], viewing Sturge Island from a considerable distance, thought it a group of three islands and named the center [[island]], Frances. This error was discovered in 1904 by Captain [[Robert F. Scott]], who applied the name to this cape.

[edit] Mount Friesland

'''Mount Friesland''' ({{coor dm|62|40|S|60|12|W|}}) is a [[mountain]], 1,790 m, which lies 3 nautical miles (6 km) east-northeast of the head of [[False Bay]], [[Livingston Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The feature was known to American and British sealers as early as 1820-21, and has been variously known as Peak of Frezeland, [[Friezland Peak]], and [[Friesland Peak]]. In the early 1900s the name Barnard, applied by Weddell in 1825 to nearby [[Needle Peak]], was transferred to this mountain. The original name has now been restored; the spelling Friesland appears to have been more frequently used than any of the other versions. The name [[Barnard Point]] has since been approved for the nearby point at the southeast side of False Bay.
