Cape Kidson

'''Cape Kidson''' ({{coor dm|73|24|S|60|45|W|}}) is an abrupt rock scarp which rises to 300 m, forming the north side of the entrance to [[New Bedford Inlet]], on the east coast of [[Palmer Land]]. First sighted and photographed from the air by members of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) in 1940. During 1947 the cape was photographed from the air by the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), who in conjunction with the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for [[Edward Kidson]], [[New Zealand]] meteorologist and author of the meteorological reports of the [[British Antarctic Expedition]] under Shackleton, 1907-09, and the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] under Mawson, 1911-14.

Kiel Glacier

'''Kiel Glacier''' ({{coor dm|78|8|S|154|15|W|}}) is a broad, heavily crevassed [[glacier]] descending southwest from [[Edward VII Peninsula]] just east of the [[Rockefeller Mountains]].

It is named for driver [[Max R. Kiel]], [[U.S. Navy]], [[Mobile Construction Battalion]], who lost his life on [[March 5]], [[1956]], when his tractor fell into a [[crevasse]] about 20 nautical miles (37 km) westward of this glacier while attempting to establish a trail to [[Byrd Station]].

Kikko Terrace

'''Kikko Terrace''' ({{coor dm|68|8|S|42|40|E|}}) is a rocky terrace rising to 150 m about 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) south-southeast of [[Cape Hinode]]. The feature was mapped by the JapARE from surveys and air photos obtained 1957-62. The Japanese form of the name, "Kikko-ga-hara" (tortoise shells terrace), and the English form, Kikko Terrace, were given by the [[Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] of Japan in 1973.
