'''Obrecht Pyramid''' ({{coor dm|68|9|S|65|32|W|}}) is a pyramidal [[peak]] (about 600 m) on the north shore of [[Joerg Peninsula]], [[Bowman Coast]]. The peak was photographed from the air by the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS), 1940, and was surveyed by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), 1946-48. The name "[[Punta Alberto Obrecht]]" after [[Alberto Obrecht]], former Director of the [[Chilean Astronomical Observatory]] and a member of the [[Comision Antartica Chilena]] of 1906, was applied to this feature on a Chilean hydrographic chart of 1947. An amended form of the original name has been approved.

[edit] Obruchev Hills

'''Obruchev Hills''' ({{coor dm|66|35|S|99|46|E|}}) is a group of rounded hills on the coast between [[Denman Glacier]] and [[Scott Glacier]]. The hills were plotted by the [[Western Base Party]] of the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] (1911-14) as a great rock face. They were plotted in greater detail from aerial photographs taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]] (1946-47) and later by the Soviet expedition (1956). Named by the latter for [[Vladimir A. Obruchev]], Soviet geologist (1863-1956).

[edit] Ocean Harbor

'''Ocean Harbor''' ({{coor dm|54|20|S|36|16|W|}}) is a deeply indented [[bay]] on the north coast of [[South Georgia]] which is entered 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) west-northwest of Tijuca point. The names [[New Fortune Bay]] and [[Neufortuna Bay]], probably for the Fortuna, [[Norwegian-Argentine]] whaling vessel which participated in establishing the first permanent whaling station at Grytviken, South Georgia in 1904-05, were used for this feature in 1922 by Filchner, following the [[German Antarctic Expedition]], 1911-12. Following a survey of the [[island]] in 1951-52, the SGS reported that the feature is known to whalers and sealers as Ocean Harbor, a name derived from the [[Ocean Whaling Co]]. which at one time had a station there. The name Ocean Harbor is approved for this feature on the basis of local usage, and also to avoid confusion of the name [[New Fortuna Bay]] with [[Fortuna Bay]], only 22 nautical miles (41 km) to the northwest.

Although the name "[[Kaiser Wilhelm Pik]]" appears on the chart of the [[German Valdivia]] expedition of 1898 as applying to this peak, the accompanying expedition report indicates that name is intended for the entire summit area of the [[island]], not this single peak.

'''Ongul Island''' ({{coor dm|69|1|S|39|32|E|}}) is an [[island]] 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long, which is the largest feature in the [[Flatvaer Islands]] lying just within the east side of the entrance of [[Lutzow-Holm Bay]].

[edit] Orwell Bight

'''Orwell Bight''' ({{coor dm|60|43|S|45|23|W|}}) is a body of water lying south of the eastern half of [[Coronation Island]], bounded on the west by [[Signy Island]] and on the east by the [[Robertson Islands]], in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. The general nature of this [[Bight (geography)|bight]] was first delineated by [[Petter Sorlle]], Norwegian whaling captain who mapped this area in 1912-13. It was surveyed by DI personnel in 1933 and by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1948-49. Named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) for the Norwegian transport Orwell, the second ship of that name belonging to the [[Tonsberg Hvalfangeri]], which anchored in [[Borge Bay]], Signy Island, on the west side of this bight in the seasons 1925-26 to 1929-30.
