Since the iceberg tongue was partially delineated for the first time on the 1955 sketch map by Blodgett, use of his name for it is considered appropriate.

In the 1930's, however, the name was applied to a large bay between Williams Point and Cape Shirreff (now Hero Bay). This error has now been rectified and the name Blythe Bay is approved as originally used. The name is probably after Blythe (now Blyth), England, home of William Smith who reported the discovery of the South Shetland Islands in 1819.

An island in this vicinity was surveyed and photographed by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache in 1898. It was originally called "Ile Famine," but in the reports resulting from the expedition it was renamed "Ile Bob." In a survey of the area in 1955, the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) made a landing on this island. Although it differs somewhat in size and position from the Belgian Antarctic Expedition reports, the FIDS found it closely resembles the Belgian Antarctic Expedition photograph and consider it to be the island originally named. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Bouvetoya
Bouvetoya (-54.43333°N, 3.4°W) is an island 5 nautical miles (9 km) long and 3 wide which lies in extreme isolation, about 1,370 nautical miles (700 km) southeast of Cape Aghulas, South Africa, in the southeast part of the Atlantic Ocean. The island terminates in steep rock and ice cliffs on all sides and rises to an ice-covered volcanic cone 780 m high. Discovered on January 1, 1739 by the French explorer J.B.C. Bouvet de Lozier in the ships Aigle and Marie. Bouvet did not circle the island and heavy pack ice and fog prevented him from determining the nature of his discovery. Although evidence, recently uncovered, indicates that Bouvetoya was resighted in 1808 by the British ships Snow Swan and Otter, it was not until the visit of the German ship feature were determined and made known.

Mount Bouvier
Mount Bouvier (-67.23333°N, -68.15°W) is a massive, mainly ice-covered mountain, 2,070 m, immediately north of the head of Stonehouse Bay in the east part of Adelaide Island. Discovered and roughly positioned by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, and named by Charcot for Louis Bouvier, prominent French naturalist. Resurveyed by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10, and by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948-50.

Boving Island
Boving Island (-66.28333°N, 110.51667°W) is a small island in the south part of Newcomb Bay, lying 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) east of McMullin Island in the Windmill Islands. Mapped from U.S. Navy Operation Highjump air photos, 1946-47. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for F. Boving, third officer on M.V. Thala Dan in 1965, who assisted in a hydrographic survey in the vicinity. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Named by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) in 1994 for Charles Bowden, first chairman of the Ross Dependency Committee during Sir Edmund Hillary's South Pole Expedition, part of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1957.

Bowden, Chairman of the Ross Sea Committee which organized the New Zealand party of the CTAE.

The feature was photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth in November 1935 and was mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1958. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Nathaniel Bowditch (1773-1838), American astronomer and mathematician, author of The New American Practical Navigator (1801) which firmly set out the practical results of theories established at that date and has since gone through more than 56 editions.
