[edit] Monroe Island

'''Monroe Island''' ({{coor dm|60|36|S|46|3|W|}}) is a largest of the [[Larsen Islands]], lying off the west end of [[Coronation Island]] in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. The Larsen Islands were discovered by Captain [[George Powell]] and Captain [[Nathaniel Palmer]] in December 1821, but were named on a chart by the Norwegian whaler Captain [[Petter Sorlle]] in 1912-13. They were recharted in 1933 by DI personnel on the [[Discovery II]], who used the name Larsen Islands for the group and named the largest [[island]] [[Larsen Island]]. Because the names were found to be confusing, the island was renamed in 1954 by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) for the sloop [[James Monroe]], which was commanded by [[Captain Palmer]] at the time of discovery and anchored in this vicinity in December 1821.

[edit] Monroe Point

'''Monroe Point''' ({{coor dm|62|49|S|61|30|W|}}) is a point lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of [[Cape Conway]] on the southwest side of [[Snow Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. It was named [[Low Point]] by DI personnel on the [[Discovery II]] in 1935, but this name has not since been used. In order to avoid duplication, a new name was applied by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1961. Monroe Point derives from [[Monroe Island]], the name used for Snow Island by sealers in the 1820s.

[edit] Moraine Strait

'''Moraine Strait''' ({{coor dm|78|12|S|165|48|E|}}) is a strait on the [[McMurdo Ice Shelf]] that trends north-south between [[Brown Peninsula]], [[Mount Discovery]], and [[Minna Bluff]] on the west, and [[Black Island]] on the east. The surface of the strait, especially the north part between Brown Peninsula and Black Island, is noteworthy for the presence of broad moraine belts that obscure much of the ice and suggest the name. The strait was discovered by the ''Discovery'' expedition, 1901-04, led by Scott. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 1999.

Photographed from the air by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. Charted by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]], 1949-51, and so named by them because several patches of lichens were found on the exposed rocky surfaces. "Mousse" is French for moss.
