Committee Bay

'''Committee Bay''' ({{coor dm|54|1|S|37|19|W|}}) is a small, [[bay]]-like body of water near the center of the Bay of Isles, [[South Georgia]], whose limits are formed by the semi-circular arrangement of [[Crescent Island]], [[Invisible Island]], [[Hogs Mouth Rocks]] and [[Albatross Island]].

Contact Peak

'''Contact Peak''' ({{coor dm|67|46|S|67|29|W|}}) is a prominent rock [[peak]], 1,005 m, which is the southeasternmost peak on [[Pourquoi Pas Island]], off the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First sighted and roughly charted in 1909 by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot. It was surveyed in 1936 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) and in 1948 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS). So named by the FIDS because the peak marks the granite-volcanic contact in the cliffs which is visible at a considerable distance.

Contact Point

'''Contact Point''' ({{coor dm|63|23|S|56|59|W|}}) is a small rock point close west of [[Sheppard Point]] on the north side of [[Hope Bay]], [[Trinity Peninsula]]. The feature was first charted as an [[island]] by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, but was surveyed by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1955 and proved to be a point. So named by FIDS because greywacke, tuff and diorite were found to be exposed on or very close to this point. Such contacts had not previously been recorded and they were important for the interpretation of the geology of [[Tabarin Peninsula]].

The name, derived from the reported existence of copper ore in the cove, was applied by sealers in about 1821 to a much larger cove farther southeast along the west side of Robert Island, but in recent years the name has become established for the cove described.

Corner Cliffs

'''Corner Cliffs''' ({{coor dm|72|4|S|68|25|W|}}) is a rocky mass surmounted by two flat-topped summits 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) apart, immediately south of [[Saturn Glacier]] in the southeast part of [[Alexander Island]]. The rocks of these cliffs were hidden from the line of sight by intervening ice slopes to the west, but the two rock ridges forming the northwest shoulder of this feature were first seen and photographed from the air by [[Lincoln Ellsworth]] on [[November 23]], [[1935]], and mapped from these photos by [[W.L.G.
