Three Brothers Hill edit

'''Three Brothers Hill''' ({{coor dm|62|15|S|58|41|W|}}) is a conspicuous hill, 210 m, which is the remnant neck of an extinct [[volcano]] situated at the east side of [[Potter Cove]], [[King George Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]].

Thule Islands edit

'''Thule Islands''' ({{coor dm|60|42|S|45|37|W|}}) is a group of small islands and rocks lying 0.25 nautical miles (0.5 km) southwest of [[Balin Point]] in the northwest part of [[Borge Bay]], [[Signy Island]], in the [[South Orkney Islands]].

Tijuca Point edit

'''Tijuca Point''' ({{coor dm|54|20|S|36|13|W|}}) is a prominent rock point forming the northwest side of the entrance to [[Hound Bay]] on the north coast of [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Penguin Point]] was probably applied to this feature by DI personnel who made a running survey of this coast in 1930.

The name Tijuca Point was given by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) for the Tijuca, a three-masted barque built at Nantes in 1866. From 1908 onwards, she was used as a transport vessel by the [[Compania Argentina]] de Pesca, lying between [[Buenos Aires]] and the whaling station at Grytviken. She foundered in 1946.

'''Tillberg Peak''' ({{coor dm|64|46|S|60|54|W|}}) is a largely ice-free [[summit (topography)|peak]], 610 m, on the ridge running east from [[Foster Plateau]] toward [[Sentinel Nunatak]], on the east coast of [[Graham Land]]. The name Tillberg was given to a group of four rocky outcrops in this area but, since they are not conspicuous topographically, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1963 recommended that the name be transferred to this more useful landmark. Named by Dr. [[Otto Nordenskjold]] after [[Judge Knut Tillberg]], contributor to the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04.

Tillergone Slope edit

'''Tillergone Slope''' ({{coor dm|76|44|S|161|24|E|}}) is a glacial slope, 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km) wide, which is a distributary of [[Flight Deck Neve]] between [[Dotson Ridge]] and [[Flagship Mountain]], in [[Convoy Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. The name was applied by a [[New Zealand Antarctic Research Program]] (NZARP) field party to commemorate an incident when the steering gear of a motor toboggan broke during the 1989-90 season. At the time, this [[glacier]] was being used as access to a camp at Flagship Mountain, and the slope had to be negotiated twice without steerage.

Torinosu Cove edit

'''Torinosu Cove''' ({{coor dm|69|29|S|39|34|E|}}) is a narrow [[cove]] in the eastern part of [[Lutzow-Holm Bay]]. It indents the west side of [[Skarvsnes Foreland]] 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) west of [[Mount Suribachi]], on the coast of [[Queen Maud Land]]. Mapped from surveys and air photos by [[Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition]] (JARE), 1957-62. The name "Torinosu-wan" (bird's nest cove) was given by JARE Headquarters in 1973.

Torlyn Mountain edit

'''Torlyn Mountain''' ({{coor dm|67|47|S|66|55|E|}}) is an elongated [[mountain]], of which [[Murray Monolith]] is the detached front, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of [[Scullin Monolith]] on the coast of Mac. [[Robertson Land]]. In January and February 1931 several Norwegian whale catchers explored along this coast, making sketches of the land from their vessels. They named the mountain for their whale catcher, the Torlyn, from whose deck it was seen in February, although the coast was sketched as early as January 19 from the [[Bouvet II]], another Norwegian whaler. [[The British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition]] (BANZARE) under Mawson made an airplane flight over this area in January 1930, returning for further exploration in February 1931. They named the mountain Murray Monolith, which name is hereby retained only for the detached front.

Tornquist Bay edit

'''Tornquist Bay''' ({{coor dm|54|4|S|36|59|W|}}) is a small [[bay]] between [[Cape Constance]] and [[Antarctic Point]] along the north coast of [[South Georgia]]. Charted in 1929-30 by DI personnel, who called it [[Windy Cove]], because of strong gusts of wind experienced there, but the name [[Windy Hole]] was subsequently used on charts for the bay. Following a survey of South Georgia in 1951-52, the SGS reported that this feature is known to the whalers and sealers as Tornquist Bay, because the wreck of the Cape Constance on [[October 16]], [[1950]], lies near its west shore. This latter name is approved on the basis of local usage; the name Windy Hole is never used locally. The name Windy Cove, originally applied to this bay, has been transferred in local usage to the bay immediately southeast of Antarctic Point and it has since become established there.

Toro Point edit

'''Toro Point''' ({{coor dm|63|19|S|57|54|W|}}) is a point which forms the south extremity of [[Schmidt Peninsula]] and the north side of the entrance to [[Unwin Cove]], [[Trinity Peninsula]]. Named by the fifth [[Chilean Antarctic Expedition]] (1950-51) after [[Carlos Toro Mazote]] G. who, as an aviation lieutenant in 1947, was one of the men chosen to occupy the [[General Bernardo]] O'Higgins station nearby. He was also a member of the fifth Chilean expedition aboard the ship Lientur.

Cape Torson edit

'''Cape Torson''' ({{coor dm|66|40|S|90|36|E|}}) is a point at the east side of [[Posadowsky Bay]] on the coast of Antarctica. First mapped from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. Remapped by the Soviet expedition 1956, who named it after Lieutenant [[K.P.

Tortoise Hill edit

'''Tortoise Hill''' ({{coor dm|64|22|S|57|30|W|}}) is a hill more than 500 m high, 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of [[The Watchtower]] at the southeast corner of [[James Ross Island]]. Named by [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) following [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) surveys, 1958-61. The feature is similar geologically and in appearance to [[Terrapin Hill]] in the northeast portion of the [[island]]; hence the application of a related name.

Tortula Cove edit

'''Tortula Cove''' ({{coor dm|54|14|S|36|30|W|}}) is a [[cove]] close south of [[Mai Point]], on the east side of Maiviken in [[Cumberland Bay]], [[South Georgia]]. Roughly surveyed by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. Resurveyed in 1929 by DI personnel, and in 1951 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS). Named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) after the moss (genus Tortula) which grows in this vicinity.

Tot Island edit

'''Tot Island''' ({{coor dm|65|31|S|64|20|W|}}) is a small [[island]] lying just north of the northeast end of [[Lahille Island]], off the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First charted by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37. So named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1959 because the island is very small.

Tot Pond edit

'''Tot Pond''' ({{coor dm|76|54|S|161|7|E|}}) is the smaller and western of two closely spaced frozen ponds in the floor of [[Alatna Valley]], filled by overflow from the larger adjacent [[Rum Pond]], in the [[Convoy Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. Named by a 1989-90 [[New Zealand Antarctic Research Program]] (NZARP) field party ([[Trevor Chinn]]) in association with Rum Pond; in nautical circles a tot is a traditional small issue of rum.
