Calf Head edit

'''Calf Head''' ({{coor dm|54|28|S|36|3|W|}}) is a rocky [[headland]] on the north coast of [[South Georgia]], 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of [[Cape Harcourt]]. The name "[[Kalber-Berg]]" (calf [[mountain]]) was given by the German group of the [[International Polar Year Investigations]], 1882-83, but was limited to the summit of the headland. The feature was surveyed by the SGS, 1951-52, who reported that a name is more essential for its seaward extremity in order to distinguish it from Cape Harcourt, with which it is easily confused when viewed from north and NW. The English form of the name, Calf Head, was recommended by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1954.

'''Mount Camber''' ({{coor dm|64|41|S|63|16|W|}}) is a mainly snow-covered [[mountain]], 1,400 m, 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of [[Molar Peak]] in the [[Osterrieth Range]] of [[Anvers Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]]. First seen by the [[Belgian Antarctic Expedition]], 1897-99, under Gerlache. The name [[High Peak]] was probably given to the feature by Lieutenant Commander [[J.M. Chaplin]], [[Royal Navy]], during a sketch survey in 1927 on the unsuitable. The new name, given by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC), is descriptive of the summit, which is long and gently sloping like a cambered road surface.

Equipment and provisions stockpiled on the pond ice were eventually redistributed by the wind and lodged among the surrounding morainic boulders. A 1989-90 [[New Zealand Antarctic Research Program]] (NZARP) party ([[Trevor Chinn]]) camped nearby made frequent visits to the site to clean up the area, but also to acquire various 30-year old exotic foods to supplement their standard camp fare.

'''Case Island''' ({{coor dm|73|19|S|77|48|W|}}) is a roughly circular ice-covered [[island]], 12 nautical miles (22 km) in diameter, lying off the coast of [[Ellsworth Land]]. The island lies in [[Carroll Inlet]] between the mainland and [[Smyley Island]]. Mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photographs, 1961-66. The name was suggested by [[Finn Ronne]] for [[Senator Francis H. Case]] (1896-1962), who assisted in obtaining Government support to provide a ship for the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]], 1947-48.

Casey Bay edit

'''Casey Bay''' ({{coor dm|67|30|S|48|0|E|}}) is a large [[bay]] indenting the coast of [[Enderby Land]] between [[Tange Promontory]] and [[Dingle Dome]]. The feature was observed from ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) aircraft in 1956. Named by [[Antarctic Names Committee of Australia]] (ANCA) for the Rt. Hon. [[Richard G. Casey]] (later [[Lord Casey]]), [[Australian Minister]] for [[External Affairs]], 1951-60.

Casey Glacier edit

'''Casey Glacier''' ({{coor dm|69|0|S|63|50|W|}}) is a [[glacier]] 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide, flowing east into [[Casey Inlet]] on the east coast of [[Palmer Land]]. Discovered by [[Sir Hubert Wilkins]] on an aerial flight of [[December 20]], [[1928]]. Wilkins believed the feature to be a channel cutting completely across [[Antarctic Peninsula]], naming it [[Casey Channel]] after Rt. Hon. [[Richard G. Casey]]. Correlation of aerial photographs taken by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] in 1935 and preliminary reports of the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), 1934-37, led [[W.L.G. Joerg]] to interpret this glacier to be what Wilkins named Casey Channel. This interpretation is borne out by the results of subsequent exploration by members of the [[East Base]] of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) in 1940.

Casey Inlet edit

'''Casey Inlet''' ({{coor dm|69|0|S|63|35|W|}}) is an ice-filled inlet at the terminus of [[Casey Glacier]], between [[Miller Point]] and [[Cape Walcott]], on the east coast of [[Palmer Land]].

Casey Islands edit

'''Casey Islands''' ({{coor dm|64|44|S|64|16|W|}}) is a group of small islands in the west part of [[Wylie Bay]], south of [[Cape Monaco]], [[Anvers Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]].

Cassidy Glacier edit

'''Cassidy Glacier''' ({{coor dm|77|46|S|160|9|E|}}) is a [[glacier]] 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, flowing northeast into upper [[Taylor Glacier]] between [[Depot Nunatak]] and the northwest end of [[Quartermain Mountains]], in [[Victoria Land]]. The descriptive names "[[South-West Arm]]" and "[[South Arm]]" were applied to this glacier and to the part of [[Ferrar Glacier]] south of Knobhead, respectively, by the ''Discovery'' expedition, 1901-04. Subsequent mapping has shown that the glacier described here is part of the Taylor Glacier system. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 1992 after [[William A. Cassidy]], Department of Geology and [[Planetary Science]], University of Pittsburgh, who in 13 field seasons, 1976-90, led [[United States Antarctic Research Program]] (USARP) teams in the investigation and collection of Antarctic meteorites from diverse sites through Victoria Land and southward to [[Lewis Cliff]], adjacent to [[Queen Alexandra Range]].
