Casey Bay
Casey Bay (-67.5°N, 48°W) is a large bay indenting the coast of Enderby Land between Tange Promontory and Dingle Dome. The feature was observed from ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for the Rt. Hon. Richard G. Casey (later Lord Casey), Australian Minister for External Affairs, 1951-60.

Casey Glacier
Casey Glacier (-69°N, -63.83333°W) is a glacier 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide, flowing east into Casey Inlet on the east coast of Palmer Land. Discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins on an aerial flight of December 20, 1928. Wilkins believed the feature to be a channel cutting completely across Antarctic Peninsula, naming it Casey Channel after Rt. Hon. Richard G. Casey. Correlation of aerial photographs taken by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935 and preliminary reports of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934-37, led W.L.G. Joerg to interpret this glacier to be what Wilkins named Casey Channel. This interpretation is borne out by the results of subsequent exploration by members of the East Base of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in 1940.

Casey Inlet
Casey Inlet (-69°N, -63.58333°W) is an ice-filled inlet at the terminus of Casey Glacier, between Miller Point and Cape Walcott, on the east coast of Palmer Land.

Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947. The inlet takes its name from Casey Glacier.

Casey Islands
Casey Islands (-64.73333°N, -64.26667°W) is a group of small islands in the west part of Wylie Bay, south of Cape Monaco, Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Fringing islands in this position were charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, led by Jean B. Charcot. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Casey A. Jones, Jr., cook with the winter party at the nearby U.S. Palmer Station in 1979. He died in an accident, January 9, 1980, while serving at the U.S. South Pole Station. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Cape Casey (-66.36667°N, -63.58333°W) is a conspicuous cape surmounted by a peak 755 m, marking the east end of the peninsula projecting into Cabinet Inlet immediately south of Bevin Glacier, on the east coast of Graham Land. Charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) in 1947. Named by the FIDS for Rt. Hon. Richard G. Casey, Minister of State and Australian member of the British War Cabinet.

Mount Casey
Mount Casey (-73.71667°N, 165.78333°W) is a mountain (2,100 m) at the north side of the head of Oakley Glacier, 5 nautical miles (9 km) east-northeast of Mount Monteagle in the Mountaineer Range of Victoria Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Dennis Casey, U.S. Navy Reserve, Catholic chaplain with the winter party at McMurdo Station, 1967.

Cashman Crags
Cashman Crags (-77.53333°N, 166.85°W) is a two rock summits at c.1500 m on the west slope of Mount Erebus, Ross Island. The feature is 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) southwest of Hoopers Shoulder. At the suggestion of P.R. Kyle, named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (2000) after Katherine V. Cashman, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) team member on Mount Erebus in 1978-79 while a Fulbright scholar at Victoria University of Wellington; worked again on Mount Erebus, 1988-89; later Professor of Geology, University of Oregon.

Cassandra Nunatak
Cassandra Nunatak (-64.45°N, -63.4°W) is a nunatak, 425 m, marking the east side of the mouth of Iliad Glacier in northern Anvers Island, Palmer Archipelago. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955-57, and mapped from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956-57. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Priam's daughter in Homer's Iliad.

Cassidy Glacier
Cassidy Glacier (-77.76667°N, 160.15°W) is a glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, flowing northeast into upper Taylor Glacier between Depot Nunatak and the northwest end of Quartermain Mountains, in Victoria Land. The descriptive names "South-West Arm" and "South Arm" were applied to this glacier and to the part of Ferrar Glacier south of Knobhead, respectively, by the Discovery expedition, 1901-04. Subsequent mapping has shown that the glacier described here is part of the Taylor Glacier system. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1992 after William A. Cassidy, Department of Geology and Planetary Science, University of Pittsburgh, who in 13 field seasons, 1976-90, led United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) teams in the investigation and collection of Antarctic meteorites from diverse sites through Victoria Land and southward to Lewis Cliff, adjacent to Queen Alexandra Range.
