[edit] Mount Sabatier

'''Mount Sabatier''' ({{coor dm|54|49|S|36|8|W|}}) is a [[mountain]] 1,145 m, standing close north of [[Mount Senderens]] and 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of [[Paradise Beach]] in the south part of [[South Georgia]]. The feature appears on charts dating back to the 1930s. It was surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) for Professor [[Paul Sabatier]] (1854-1941), French chemist, whose work with [[Jean-Baptiste Senderens]] led to the introduction in about 1907 of the hydrogenation process for hardening whale oil.

[edit] Sabine Glacier

'''Sabine Glacier''' ({{coor dm|63|55|S|59|47|W|}}) is a [[glacier]] terminating at the sea between [[Wennersgaard Point]] and [[Cape Kater]] on the northwest coast of [[Graham Land]]. Captain [[Henry Foster]] gave the name "[[Cape Sabine]]" in 1829 to a feature lying southeast of Cape Kater but it has not been possible to identify that cape. This toponym preserves the early use of Sabine in this area. Sir [[Edward Sabine]] (1788-1883), English astronomer and geodesist, was a member of the committee which planned the 1829 voyage of Foster in the Chanticleer.

[edit] Sabrina Coast

'''Sabrina Coast''' ({{coor dm|67|20|S|119|0|E|}}) is that portion of the coast of [[Wilkes Land]], Antarctica, lying between [[Cape Waldron]], in 11533E, and [[Cape Southard]], in 12205E. [[John Balleny]] has long been credited with having seen land in March 1839 in about 117E. The [[United States Exploring Expedition]] under Lieutenant [[Charles Wilkes]] approached this coast in February 1840 and indicated its general configuration as shown in part by "[[Totten High Land]]" on his 1840 chart. In 1931 the [[British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition]] (BANZARE) under [[Douglas Mawson]] saw what appeared to be land in this longitude about one degree farther south than that reported by Balleny and Wilkes. In recognition of Balleny's effort, Mawson retained the name of the cutter in 95E in the latter part of March 1839.

[edit] Sacramento Bight

'''Sacramento Bight''' ({{coor dm|54|29|S|36|1|W|}}) is an open [[Bight (geography)|bight]], 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) wide, between [[Calf Head]] and [[Cape Harcourt]] on the north coast of [[South Georgia]]. The name "[[Pinguin-Bay]]" was given by the German group of the [[International Polar Year Investigations]], 1882-83, to a small [[bay]] within the bight now described. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that a name is not necessary for this bay, and that the bight, which is known to whalers and sealers as [[Sacramento Bay]], does require a name. In order to indicate the correct nature of the feature, and at the same time to conform to local usage, the name Sacramento Bight is approved.

[edit] Saint George Peak

'''Saint George Peak''' ({{coor dm|69|6|S|72|3|W|}}) is a [[peak]] in the west part of the [[Havre Mountains]], 1,500 m, situated 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of [[Cape Vostok]] on [[Alexander Island]]. In 1821 the Russian expedition under Bellingshausen sighted a very high [[mountain]] in this area to which they gave the name "[[Gora Svyatogo Georgiya Pobedonostsa]]" (Mountain of [[Saint George]] the Victor). Though the position reported by them for this mountain would place it in the sea, it has been assumed that the peak described here is the same feature. It was first mapped in detail from air photos taken by the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), 1947-48, by Searle of the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1960. The translated form of the name suggested by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) has been approved.

[edit] Sanctuary Cliffs

'''Sanctuary Cliffs''' ({{coor dm|64|27|S|57|12|W|}}) is a rock cliffs at the north edge of the [[ice cap]] which covers the central part of [[Snow Hill Island]], [[James Ross Island]] group. First seen and surveyed by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. They gave the name "Mittelnunatak," presumably because of their position near the middle of the north coast of the [[island]]. Following survey by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1952, it was reported that the term "cliffs" is more suitable than "[[nunatak]]" for this feature. Since the word "Middle" has been accepted in several other Antarctic names, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) recommended an entirely new and more distinctive name be approved. Sanctuary Cliffs is descriptive of the aspect of these cliffs which face into the sun and provide shelter from the prevailing southwesterly winds.

[edit] Sandefjord Bay

'''Sandefjord Bay''' ({{coor dm|60|37|S|46|3|W|}}) is a narrow body of water, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long, extending in a NE-SW direction between the west end of [[Coronation Island]] and [[Monroe Island]], in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. The north entrance is narrow and has [[Spine Island]] in the middle. Discovered and roughly charted by Captain [[George Powell]] and Captain [[Nathaniel Palmer]] during their joint cruise in December 1821. The name Sandefjord, presumably for Sandefjord, Norway, center of the Norwegian whaling industry, appears to have been first used on a 1912 chart by [[Petter Sorlle]], Norwegian whaling captain. The feature was surveyed by DI personnel in 1933.

Discovered in February 1935 by Captain [[Klarius Mikkelsen]] in the Norwegian whaling ship Thorshavn sent out by [[Lars Christensen]]. They gave the name Sandefjordbukta after the town of Sandefjord, center of the Norwegian whaling industry. The term "ice bay" is applied to this feature because of its formation in ice, and to eliminate duplication of the name [[Sandefjord Bay]].

[edit] Sartorius Point

'''Sartorius Point''' ({{coor dm|62|34|S|59|39|W|}}) is a point lying nearly 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of [[Ephraim Bluff]] on the south coast of [[Greenwich Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name [[Point Hardy]] was used for this feature by sealers in the area as early as 1820. This name, however, was later incorrectly applied to [[Fort Point]] lying to the east. In order to avoid further confusion and also duplication with [[Hardy Point]] in the [[South Sandwich Islands]], the name was rejected by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1961 and a new name substituted. Sartorius Point derives from [[Sartorius Island]], the name used for Greenwich Island by [[James Weddell]] in 1820-23. Weddell served under [[Admiral Sir George R. Sartorius]] (1790-1885) on HMS Avon in 1813-14.
