'''Little Jason Lagoon''' ({{coor dm|54|11|S|36|36|W|}}) is an almost circular lagoon, 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) in diameter, lying at the head of [[Jason Harbor]] to which it is connected by a narrow cut, in [[Cumberland West Bay]], [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Little Jason]] was in use at South Georgia prior to 1920. The feature was surveyed in 1929 by DI personnel, who named it [[Nogood Lagoon]] because a motor boat could not get through the entrance. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the feature is known locally as Little Jason or (in Norwegian) [[Lille Jason]]. In order to indicate the nature of the feature, and at the same time to conform with local usage, the name Little Jason Lagoon is approved.

The plateau lies at an average elevation of 1,000 m above the sea level and 600 m above the ice on its northern flank. Discovered by an ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) party led by [[W.G. Bewsher]] in 1956. The name of the massif derives from Mount Loewe, which was named for [[Fritz Loewe]], a member of the ANARE reconnaissance party in the French expedition at [[Port Martin]], [[Adelie Coast]], in 1951.

[edit] Loqui Point

'''Loqui Point''' ({{coor dm|65|55|S|64|58|W|}}) is a point which marks the south side of the entrance to [[Barilari Bay]], on the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. This feature was discovered and named "[[Cap Garcia]]" by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]], 1903-05, under Charcot. At the same time Charcot gave the name "[[Cap Loqui]]" to the north cape of Barilari Bay, after [[Captain Loqui]] of the [[Argentine Navy]]. The maps of Charcot's French Antarctic Expedition of 1908-10, showed "Cap Garcia" as the north cape of Barilari Bay, and the name [[Cape Garcia]] has since become established in that position. Charcot did not use the name "Cap Loqui" on the maps of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10, and with his shifting of the name Cape Garcia, this south entrance point to Barilari Bay has remained unnamed. For the sake of historical continuity, the name Loqui Point has been accepted for this feature.
