Geographic Names of the Antarctic 2nd Edition
This gazetteer contains 12,710 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, Bouvetbya,
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. This
publication, which supersedes previous Board gazetteers or
lists for the area, contains names approved as recently as
December 1994.
