Cape Circoncision

'''Cape Circoncision''' ({{coor dm|54|25|S|3|21|E|}}) is a prominent cape which forms the northwest extremity of Bouvetoya. The name was given on [[January 1]], [[1739]] by [[J.B.C.

The cape was roughly charted in 1898 by a German expedition under [[Karl Chun]]. Cartographic correlation of the name with this cape appears to be first evidenced on the chart of the Norvegia expedition of 1927-28 under Captain [[Harald Horntvedt]].

Clements Island

'''Clements Island''' ({{coor dm|65|56|S|66|0|W|}}) is an [[island]] 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long lying immediately south of [[Rabot Island]] in the [[Biscoe Islands]]. [[The French Antarctic Expedition]], 1903-05, under Charcot, gave the name "[[Ile Clements Markham]]" for [[Sir Clements Markham]], President of the [[Royal Geographical Society]], 1893-1905. Charcot applied this name to an incompletely defined island northeast of [[Renaud Island]], in what is now the [[Pitt Islands]]. The recommended application, however, is based upon the map of the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), 1934-37, which provided a more reliable chart of the area. The first part of the name rather than the last, has been retained to distinguish this feature from [[Markham Island]] in [[Terra Nova Bay]], [[Victoria Land]].

Coal Nunatak

'''Coal Nunatak''' ({{coor dm|72|7|S|68|32|W|}}) is a flat-topped rock mass with steep cliffs facing south, standing 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of [[Corner Cliffs]] on the southeast coast of [[Alexander Island]]. First seen from the air by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] on [[November 23]], [[1935]], and mapped from photos obtained on that flight by [[W.L.G. Joerg]]. Observed from the northwest (the direction from which Ellsworth photographed this [[nunatak]]), only the summit protrudes above the coastal ice, and it was uncertain whether this was a [[peak]] on Alexander Island or an [[island]] in [[George VI Sound]]. Its true nature was determined by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) who visited and surveyed this nunatak in 1949. So named by FIDS because thin lenses of coal occur there.

'''Coats Land''' ({{coor dm|77|0|S|27|30|W|}}) is that part of Antarctica which lies westward of [[Queen Maud Land]] and forms the eastern shore of [[Weddell Sea]], extending in a general northeast-southwest direction between 2000W and 3600W. The northeast part was discovered from the Scotia by [[William S. Bruce]], leader of the [[Scottish National Antarctic Expedition]], 1902-04. He gave the name Coats Land for [[James Coats]], Jr., and Maj. [[Andrew Coats]], the two chief supporters of the expedition. In December 1914 and January 1915, [[Ernest Shackleton]] in the Endurance continued the exploration southward, joining Bruce's discovery to land which [[Wilhelm Filchner]] had discovered from the Deutschland in 1912.

It was charted and named [[Pleasant Cove]] by DI personnel in 1929, but that name is not known locally. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that this feature is known to whalers and sealers as "[[Skomaker Hullet]]" (cobbler's cove), because it was first entered in thick fog by a Norwegian gunner who had once been a cobbler. An English form of this name has been approved.
