Clements Island
Clements Island (-65.93333°N, -66°W) is an island 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long lying immediately south of Rabot Island in the Biscoe Islands. The French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, under Charcot, gave the name "Ile Clements Markham" for Sir Clements Markham, President of the Royal Geographical Society, 1893-1905. Charcot applied this name to an incompletely defined island northeast of Renaud Island, in what is now the Pitt Islands. The recommended application, however, is based upon the map of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934-37, which provided a more reliable chart of the area. The first part of the name rather than the last, has been retained to distinguish this feature from Markham Island in Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Colorado Glacier (-85.88333°N, -133.08333°W) is a tributary glacier, 10 nautical miles (18 km) long, draining northeast from Michigan Plateau to enter Reedy Glacier between the Quartz Hills and Eblen Hills. 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 the University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, which has sent a number of research personnel to Antarctica.

Colosseum Cliff
Colosseum Cliff (-77.6°N, 161.45°W) is an impressive banded cliff located between Sykes Glacier and the doleritic rock of Plane Table in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land. The descriptive name was applied by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC).

Colosseum Ridge
Colosseum Ridge (-79.78333°N, 156.33333°W) is a ridge between Haskell Ridge and Richardson Hill in the Darwin Mountains. The ridge contains pyramidal peaks and five large cirques, the appearance of the latter bearing a resemblance to the Colosseum in Rome. Mapped and named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1962-63).

The Colosseum
The Colosseum (-79.78333°N, 156.41667°W) is a steep sided, moraine floored cirque on the east side of Colosseum Ridge, Darwin Mountains. The large well formed amphitheater is near the head of the glacier-filled enclave west of Richardson Hill. So named because this cirque and four others on the ridge bear a striking resemblance to the Colosseum in Rome.

Coloured Peak
Coloured Peak (-85.5°N, -156.33333°W) is a peak (660 m) near the head of Ross Ice Shelf in the coastal foothills of the Queen Maud Mountains, about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of O'Brien Peak. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. The peak was examined by members of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1969-70, and so named because of the colorful yellow, pink and brown banded strata that mark the feature.

Columbia Mountains
Columbia Mountains (-70.23333°N, -63.85°W) is a striking group of largely bare rock peaks, ridges and nunataks located near the east margin of the Dyer Plateau, 20 nautical miles (37 km) southeast of the Eternity Range, in Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Columbia University, New York City, which for several seasons in the 1960s and 1970s has sent geologists to study the structure of the Scotia Ridge.

Column Rock
Column Rock (-63.18333°N, -57.31667°W) is a conspicuous rock pinnacle 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) north of Gourdin Island, Trinity Peninsula. The descriptive name was applied by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC).

Columnar Valley
Columnar Valley (-77.96667°N, 161.95°W) is a valley trending northwest between The Handle and Table Mountain in the northwest part of Royal Society Range, Victoria Land. Descriptively named by Alan Sherwood, NZGS field party leader in the area, 1987-88, after the columnar-jointed dolerite that forms the valley walls.

Colvocoresses Bay
Colvocoresses Bay (-66.35°N, 114.63333°W) is a bay formed by the right angle of the Budd Coast at Williamson Glacier. The bay is over 30 nautical miles (60 km) wide at the entrance and is occupied by glacier tongues and icebergs from Williamson and Whittle Glaciers. Delineated by G.D. Blodgett (1955) from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946-47). Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for George W. Colvocoresses, Midshipman on the sloop Vincennes during the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-42) under Charles Wilkes. Colvocoresses, later promoted to Captain, U.S. Navy, published (1852-55) his own account of the voyage in Four Years in the Government Exploring Expedition Commanded by Captain Wilkes.

Colwell Massif
Colwell Massif (-78.03333°N, 161.55°W) is a rugged rock massif, about 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, rising to 2,635 m between Palais Glacier, Ferrar Glacier, and Rotunda Glacier, in Victoria Land. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1994 after Rita R. Colwell, marine microbiologist who has conducted field research in Antarctica; member of National Science Board (1983-90) who chaired Presidential committee on National Science Foundation (NSF) roles in the polar regions; from 1991, President, Maryland Biotechnology Institute, University of Maryland.

Mount Coman
Mount Coman (-73.81667°N, -64.3°W) is a prominent isolated mountain which rises above the ice-covered plateau of Palmer Land, located just westward of the Playfair Mountains. Discovered by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, under Ronne, who named this mountain for Dr. F. Dana Coman, physician with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition of 1928-30.

Comb Ridge
Comb Ridge (-63.91667°N, -57.46667°W) is a ridge which rises to 105 m and forms the east and major part of the hill at the extremity of The Naze, a peninsula of northern James Ross Island, lying south of the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula. Probably first sighted in 1902 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Nordenskjold. It was charted and given this descriptive name by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1946.

Comberiate Glacier
Comberiate Glacier (-78.35°N, 162.23333°W) is a named after Michael A. Comberiate, who was instrumental in developing a system for satellite communications to and within Antarctica, the South Pole Satellite Data Link (SPSDL).

Mount Combs
Mount Combs (-73.48333°N, -79.15°W) is an isolated mountain rising above the ice surface at the base of Rydberg Peninsula, Ellsworth Land. Discovered by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) (1947-48) under Finn Ronne, who named it for Representative J.M. Combs of Beaumont, Texas, who did much to gain support for the expedition.
