Geographic Names of the Antarctic 1st edition
This gazetteer contains names approved by the United
States Board on Geographic Names and the Secretary of
the Interior for features in Antarctica and the area extending
northward to the Antarctic Convergence. Included
in this geographic area, the Antarctic region, are
the off-lying South Shetland Islands, the South Orkney
Islands, the South Sandwich Islands, South Georgia,
Bouvetgya, Heard Island, and the Balleny Islands. These
names have been approved for use by U.S. Government
agencies. Their use by the Antarctic specialist and the
public is highly recommended for the sake of accuracy
and uniformity. Research for this publication, which
supersedes previous Board gazetteers or lists for the
area, was completed in June 1979.
