[edit] Stepping Stone Pond

'''Stepping Stone Pond''' ({{coor dm|77|33|S|160|47|E|}}) is a small freshwater frozen pond 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) east-northeast of [[Craig Pond]] in the Labyrinth of [[Wright Valley]], [[McMurdo Dry Valleys]]. So named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) (2004) following a visit by the [[United States Antarctic Program]] (USAP) field sampling party (2003-04), which reported the pond has perfect stepping stones that allow it to be crossed easily.

[edit] Stepping Stones

'''Stepping Stones''' ({{coor dm|64|47|S|64|0|W|}}) is a three prominent rocks lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) north of [[Limitrophe Island]], off the southwest coast of [[Anvers Island]]. The rocks form one of a series of small boat refuges for parties working between nearby [[Palmer Station]] and [[Biscoe Bay]], and therefore form "stepping stones" for coastal trips. Named by Palmer Station personnel in 1972.

[edit] Stina Rock

'''Stina Rock''' ({{coor dm|54|0|S|37|58|W|}}) is a conical rock, 35 m high, lying off [[Cape Pride]] in the east side of the entrance to Elsehul, off the north coast of [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Pillar Rock]] was probably given by Lieutenant Commander [[J.M. Chaplin]], [[Royal Navy]], during his survey of Elsehul in 1930, but this same name is more frequently used for a feature 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) away in [[Bird Sound]] than it is for this rock. Pillar Rock has therefore been rejected for the feature now described and a new name substituted; Stina Rock, proposed by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1957, is for the buoy-boat (ex-catcher) Harbor.

[edit] Sulzberger Ice Shelf

'''Sulzberger Ice Shelf''' ({{coor dm|77|0|S|148|0|W|}}) is an [[ice shelf]] about 85 nautical miles (160 km) long and 50 nautical miles (90 km) wide bordering the coast of [[Marie Byrd Land]] between [[Edward VII Peninsula]] and [[Guest Peninsula]]. The ice shelf was observed and roughly mapped by the [[Byrd Antarctic Expedition]] (1928-30), which applied the name [[Sulzberger Bay]] to the open water indenting this feature. The [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) extended the name Sulzberger to the adjacent ice shelf.

[edit] Sunshine Glacier

'''Sunshine Glacier''' ({{coor dm|60|38|S|45|30|W|}}) is a [[glacier]], 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, flowing south into [[Iceberg Bay]] on the south coast of [[Coronation Island]], in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. It is the largest glacier on the south side of Coronation Island and terminates in ice cliffs up to 60 m high. Surveyed in 1948-49 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) and so named by them because, when all else was in shadow, small gaps in the clouds above frequently allowed patches of sunshine to appear on the surface of this glacier.
