[edit] Tabarin Peninsula

'''Tabarin Peninsula''' ({{coor dm|63|32|S|57|0|W|}}) is a [[peninsula]] 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 5 to 12 nautical miles (22 km) wide, lying south of the trough between [[Hope Bay]] and [[Duse Bay]] and forming the east extremity of [[Trinity Peninsula]]. Discovered and charted by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. It was mapped in 1946 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) and named after [[Operation Tabarin]], the naval code name for the FIDS from 1943 to 1945.

[edit] Mount Takahe

'''Mount Takahe''' ({{coor dm|76|17|S|112|5|W|}}) is a large, isolated snow-covered [[mountain]] (an extinct [[volcano]]) standing 40 nautical miles (70 km) southeast of [[Toney Mountain]] in [[Marie Byrd Land]]. It is roughly circular, 18 nautical miles (33 km) across, and rises to 3,400 meters. This mountain was probably among those viewed from a distance by [[Admiral Byrd]] and other members of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) in plane flights from the ship Bear on February 24 and 25, 1940. It was visited in December 1957 by members of the [[Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party]], 1957-58, who applied the name. "Takahe," the Maori name for a flightless, almost extinct [[New Zealand]] bird, is the nickname of the [[U.S. Navy]] LC-47 aircraft whose crew resupplied the traverse party near this mountain and assisted by providing aerial reconnaissance to locate passable routes.

First surveyed in 1936 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), and so named by them because the nunatak marks the end of the sledge route from the [[Wordie Ice Shelf]], down [[Eureka Glacier]], to George VI Sound.

[edit] Mount Theseus

'''Mount Theseus''' ({{coor dm|77|27|S|162|16|E|}}) is a prominent [[peak]], 1,830 m, just south of [[Clark Glacier]] in the [[Olympus Range]] of [[Victoria Land]]. Named by the [[Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition]] (VUWAE) (1958-59) after a figure of Greek mythology.

[edit] Theta Islands

'''Theta Islands''' ({{coor dm|64|19|S|63|1|W|}}) is a several small islands and rocks which lie close west of [[Kappa Island]] at the west extremity of the [[Melchior Islands]], [[Palmer Archipelago]]. The islands were roughly charted by DI personnel in 1927. The name, derived from the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet, appears to have been first used on a 1946 Argentine government chart following surveys of the Melchior Islands by Argentine expeditions in 1942 and 1943.

[edit] Thiel Mountains

'''Thiel Mountains''' ({{coor dm|85|15|S|91|0|W|}}) is an isolated, mainly snow-capped mountains, 45 nautical miles (80 km) long, located roughly between the [[Horlick Mountains]] and the [[Pensacola Mountains]] and extending from [[Moulton Escarpment]] on the west to [[Nolan Pillar]] on the east. Major components include [[Ford Massif]] (2,810 m), [[Bermel Escarpment]] and a group of eastern peaks near Nolan Pillar. Observed and first positioned by the [[United States Antarctic Research Program]] (USARP) [[Horlick Mountains Traverse Party]], 1958-59. Surveyed by the [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) Thiel Mountains parties of 1960-61 and 1961-62. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) after [[Edward C. Thiel]], traverse seismologist at [[Ellsworth Station]] and the Pensacola Mountains in 1957. In December 1959, he made airlifted geophysical observations along the 88th meridian West, including work near these mountains. Thiel perished with four others in the crash of a P2V Neptune aircraft soon after take-off from [[Wilkes Station]], [[November 9]], [[1961]].

[edit] Thiel Trough

'''Thiel Trough''' ({{coor dm|81|30|S|57|0|W|}}) is a submarine trough trending NE-SW with depths reaching to 1,500 m below sea level. The trough extends southwest from about 7630S, 3500W, in the [[Weddell Sea]]; underlies [[Filchner Ice Shelf]] and the south part of [[Ronne Ice Shelf]], south of [[Henry Ice Rise]]; and continues west to about 8300S, 8500W, near [[Martin Hills]]. The portion northeast of Henry Ice Rise was discovered in 1957-58 by a U.S. traverse party from [[Ellsworth Station]] and named "[[Crary Trough]]" after [[Albert P. Crary]], [[Chief Scientist]], [[United States Antarctic Research Program]] (USARP). The southwest portion was traced by U.S. seismic traverse parties, 1958-64, and the whole delineated in greater detail by the [[Scott Polar Research Institute]] (SPRI)-[[National Science Foundation]] (NSF)-[[Technical University of Denmark]] (TUD) airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79. The name "Crary Trough" was set aside by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) at the suggestion of Dr. Crary, who recommended that the entire trough be named after [[Edward C. Thiel]] (1928-61), chief seismologist at Ellsworth Station, 1956-58, and leader of the traverse party that discovered this feature.

[edit] Thil Island

'''Thil Island''' ({{coor dm|70|8|S|72|39|E|}}) is a small rocky [[island]] lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of [[Jennings Promontory]] in the eastern part of the [[Amery Ice Shelf]]. Delineated in 1952 by [[John H. Roscoe]] from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. Named by Roscoe for [[R.B. Thil]], air crewman on [[Operation Highjump]] photographic flights over this area.

[edit] Thimble Peak

'''Thimble Peak''' ({{coor dm|63|27|S|57|6|W|}}) is a truncated cone, 485 m, consisting of rock and ice, standing at the east side of [[Mondor Glacier]] and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of [[Duse Bay]] at the northeast end of [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. First charted by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS), 1946. The descriptive name was given by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1948.

[edit] Thode Island

'''Thode Island''' ({{coor dm|77|2|S|148|3|W|}}) is a small ice-covered [[island]] in [[Sulzherger Ice Shelf]], located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of [[Benton Island]] and 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of [[Przybyszewski Island]] in [[Marshall Archipelago]].
