Surveyed in 1948 by the ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]), and named by them for [[Aubrey V. Gotley]], meteorologist and officer-in-charge of the party.

[edit] Cape Gotley

'''Cape Gotley''' ({{coor dm|66|42|S|57|19|E|}}) is a cape forming the eastern extremity of [[Austnes Peninsula]] at the north side of the entrance to [[Edward VIII Bay]]. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the [[Lars Christensen Expedition]], 1936-37, and called Austnestangen (the east cape tongue), a name derived from that of the [[peninsula]]. The area was remapped by ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) and in 1958 the cape renamed by [[Antarctic Names Committee of Australia]] (ANCA) for [[A.V. Gotley]], officer in charge of the ANARE party on [[Heard Island]] in 1948.

[edit] Gould Coast

'''Gould Coast''' ({{coor dm|84|30|S|150|0|W|}}) is that portion of the coast along the east margin of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] between the west side of [[Scott Glacier]] and the south end of [[Siple Coast]] (8330S, 15300W). Named by [[New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (NZ-APC) in 1961 for [[Laurence M. Gould]], a geologist who was second-in-command of the [[Byrd Antarctic Expedition]], 1928-30. Gould led the [[Geological Party]] which in 1929 mapped 175 miles of this coast. While president of [[Carleton College]], Northfield, Minnesota, he was appointed Chairman of the [[U.S. National Committee]] for the IGY and took a prominent part in planning the [[United States]] research program for Antarctica.

[edit] Gould Glacier

'''Gould Glacier''' ({{coor dm|66|47|S|64|39|W|}}) is a [[glacier]] 12 nautical miles (22 km) long on the east coast of [[Graham Land]], flowing southeast into [[Mill Inlet]], to the west of [[Aagaard Glacier]]. First surveyed by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1946-47, and named [[East Gould Glacier]]. With [[West Gould Glacier]] it was reported to fill a transverse depression across Graham Land, but further survey in 1957 showed that there is no close topographical alignment between the two. The name Gould, for [[Rupert T. Gould]] (1890-1948), British polar historian and cartographer, has been limited to this glacier and an entirely new name ([[Erskine Glacier]], q.v.) approved for the west glacier.

[edit] Gould Island

'''Gould Island''' ({{coor dm|77|8|S|148|5|W|}}) is an one of the ice-covered islands in [[Marshall Archipelago]], located within [[Sulzberger Ice Shelf]], coastal [[Marie Byrd Land]]. The feature is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long and lies just north of [[Spencer Island]] and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of [[Steventon Island]].
