[edit] Gourdon Peak

'''Gourdon Peak''' ({{coor dm|65|5|S|64|0|W|}}) is a [[peak]] 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) north of [[Wandel Peak]], one of several high peaks on the north-south trending ridge of [[Booth Island]], in the [[Wilhelm Archipelago]]. First charted by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]], 1903-05, under Charcot, and named by him for [[Ernest Gourdon]], geologist of the expedition.

[edit] Gourdon Peninsula

'''Gourdon Peninsula''' ({{coor dm|64|24|S|63|12|W|}}) is a snow-covered [[peninsula]] 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, forming the southeast side of [[Lapeyrere Bay]] on the northeast coast of [[Anvers Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]]. The northeast coast of Anvers Island was roughly surveyed by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot in 1905 and the name "[[Pointe Gourdon]]," for [[Vice-Admiral Gourdon]] of the [[French Navy]], was given to a point between Lapeyrere and [[Fournier Bays]]. The [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1956 altered the name to Gourdon Peninsula and applied it to the peninsula described, which almost certainly is the feature Charcot had in mind when he gave the original name.

'''Graptolite Island''' ({{coor dm|60|44|S|44|28|W|}}) is an [[island]] 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) long in the northeast part of [[Fitchie Bay]], lying off the southeast portion of [[Laurie Island]] in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. Weddell's chart published in 1825 shows two islands in essentially this position. Existence of a single island was determined in 1903 by the [[Scottish National Antarctic Expedition]] under Bruce, who so named it because graptolite fossils were found there.

The SGS, 1951-52, reported that this feature is known to whalers and sealers as "Grassholmen," and that Em Island is unknown locally. The indefinite form of the name has been approved.

[edit] Green Island

'''Green Island''' ({{coor dm|54|53|S|36|6|W|}}) is a small, rounded, tussock-covered [[island]] which lies immediately southeast of [[Cape Disappointment]], the south tip of [[South Georgia]]. The name "[[Green Islands]]," derived from their covering of tussock grass, was given in 1775 by a British expedition under Cook to a group of three islands lying close off Cape Disappointment. The name "[[Grune Insel]]" or "[[Grun-Insel]]," meaning Green Island, was used for this island by [[Kohl-Larsen]] in 1930, presumably because of local usage. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that whalers and sealers, in practice, use separate names for the three islands, limiting the name Green Island to the northernmost one. [[Brode Island]] is the central island and [[First Rock]] is southernmost of the three. The name "Green Islands" given by Cook for the three islands is apparently not needed and has dropped from use.

[edit] Greene Inlet

'''Greene Inlet''' ({{coor dm|54|3|S|38|1|W|}}) is an inlet immediately northwest of [[Cape Paryadin]] at the west end of [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Deep Inlet]] was probably given by Lieutenant Commander [[J.M.

The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the feature requires a name, but that Deep Inlet is not sufficiently distinctive; it is descriptive of so many features at South Georgia. Greene Inlet is named for [[Daniel Greene]] of [[New Haven]], CT, who in 1790 commanded one of the first two American sealing vessels to visit South Georgia.

[edit] Guepratte Island

'''Guepratte Island''' ({{coor dm|64|30|S|63|0|W|}}) is an ice-covered [[island]] 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long, lying between Anvers and [[Brabant Islands]] at the east side of the entrance to [[Fournier Bay]], [[Palmer Archipelago]]. This island was first shown on the Friederichsen map of 1895, embodying the 1873-74 explorations of a German expedition under Dallmann. It was later charted by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]], 1903-05, under Charcot, who named it after [[Captain Guepratte]], [[French Navy]]. The name [[Discovery Island]], applied in 1927 by DI personnel on the Discovery, has been rejected in favor of the earlier name.

[edit] Mount Guernsey

'''Mount Guernsey''' ({{coor dm|69|20|S|68|14|W|}}) is an isolated, mainly ice-covered [[mountain]], 1,250 m, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) north of the summit of [[Mount Edgell]], on the west coast of [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. The name "[[Ile Guernesey]]" was given in 1909 by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot, after the [[island]] of Guernsey off the coast of France. The position of "Ile Guernesey" on the French Antarctic Expedition maps does not agree with that of the mountain described above, but from the French Antarctic Expedition narrative and sketches by Bongrain, French Antarctic Expedition surveyor, it has been determined that this mountain was the feature seen in 1909 by Charcot from a position near the center of the entrance to [[Marguerite Bay]]. The mountain was surveyed in 1936 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), but no name was assigned. It was further surveyed by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1948.

[edit] Guest Peninsula

'''Guest Peninsula''' ({{coor dm|76|18|S|148|0|W|}}) is a snow-covered [[peninsula]] about 45 nautical miles (80 km) long between [[Sulzberger Ice Shelf]] and [[Block Bay]] in the northwest part of [[Marie Byrd Land]].

[edit] The Gullet

'''The Gullet''' ({{coor dm|67|10|S|67|38|W|}}) is a narrow channel between the east extremity of [[Adelaide Island]] and the west coast of [[Graham Land]], separating Hansen and [[Day Islands]] and connecting the heads of [[Hanusse Bay]] and [[Laubeuf Fjord]]. This area was first explored in 1909 by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot who, though uncertain of the existence of the channel, sketched its probable position on the charts of the expedition. The channel was first visited and roughly surveyed in 1936 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill. It was resurveyed and given this descriptive name in 1948 by members of the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS).

[edit] Gunnel Channel

'''Gunnel Channel''' ({{coor dm|67|6|S|67|33|W|}}) is a channel, 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) wide and 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, situated in the south part of [[Hanusse Bay]] and separating [[Hansen Island]] from the west coast of [[Graham Land]].

Surveyed from the ground in 1948 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) who gave this descriptive name. The channel gives a false impression of such narrowness that a boat could not navigate it without scraping her gunnels (gunwales) on either side.
