Emmanuel Glacier
Emmanuel Glacier (-77.9°N, 162.08333°W) is a glacier in the Royal Society Range of Victoria Land, descending from Mount Lister northwestward between Table Mountain and Cathedral Rocks to enter Ferrar Glacier. Named by the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13) after Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England.

Emona Anchorage
Emona Anchorage (-62.61667°N, -60.33333°W) is a roughly square embayment forming the head of South Bay, Livingston Island. Over 100 m deep at its central portion northwest by north of Spanish Point. Entered between Hesperides Point and a nameless cape lying 3,180 m northwest by north of it and 30-40 m northeast by east of Ereby Point. Next east-northeast of the second cape a nameless 710 m wide cove is indenting for 250 m, with a shoal east of that cape and a small awash inlet 550 m due northeast of it. A nameless narrow crescent-shaped moraine reef off the cove's entrance is extending 600 m, partly exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide but for the islet rising to near 3 m at its northeast extremity. A nameless ice-free tipped cape forms the east-northeast side of the entrance to the cove located 3,140 m north-northwest of Hesperides Point and 2,920 m west of Aleko Rock. The remaining northwest coast of Emona Anchorage is, with several minor disruptions, a narrow beach under the ice-cap cliff, with a rectilinear ice scarp-slope running parallel some 100 m inland. That section of the coast is 2,150 m long, featuring a single minor point lying 3,510 m north of Hesperides Point and 1,970 m west-northwest of Aleko Rock. An ice sea cave located 870 m east-northeast of that point and 1,450 m northwest of Aleko Rock marks the beach end and the north corner of the bay. The northeast coast except for Aleko Rock is formed by a glacier snout, while Bulgarian Beach accounts for most of the southeast coast. A longitudinal depression in Perunika Glacier running westward from Rezen Knoll ends in the indentation forming the east corner of the bay, located 930 m southeast of Aleko Rock and 3,000 m northeast of Hesperides Point. The Emona Anchorage beaches and drifting sea ice are favored by a fairly small number of penguins and seals, usually comprising chinstrap, gentoo and Adelie penguins and Wendell, crabeater, leopard and incidentally fur seals. Emona is the name of a village and, in the version of Emine, a nearby cape on the Black Sea coast.

Endeavour Massif
Endeavour Massif (-76.55°N, 162.03333°W) is a huge, flat-topped massif on the Scott Coast of Victoria Land. The massif extends south from Pa Tio Tio Gap to Fry Glacier and forms the south block of the Kirkwood Range (Robertson Massif forms the north block). Shoulder Mountain, Mount Belgrave and Mount Creak rise from the south part of the massif. Steep coastal cliffs and projecting ridges mark the east margin, but there is a gentle slope west from the massif's broad, plateaulike snow summit. This feature was originally named Mount Endeavour by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in October 1957, but on subsequent New Zealand and U.S. maps the name is identified as an 1800 m summit 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Mount Creak. Following additional mapping by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1999 and consultation between Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) and New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB), the name of the south block of Kirkwood Range was amended to Endeavour Massif to provide terminology better suited to the complex nature of the feature. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Endeavour has been retained for the summit northwest of Mount Creak. Both features are named after HMNZS Endeavour (formerly John Biscoe), supply ship to the 1957 New Zealand Northern Survey Party.

In association with the names of expedition ships grouped on this island, named after HMNZS Endeavour, tanker/supply ship which for at least 10 seasons, 1962-63 to 1971-72, transported bulk petroleum products and cargo to Scott Base and McMurdo Station on Ross Island.

Mount Endeavour
Mount Endeavour (-76.55°N, 162°W) is an 1810 m summit 1 nautical mile (1.9 km). north of the base of Ketchum Ridge in the south part of Endeavour Massif, Kirkwood Range, Victoria Land. The name Mount Endeavour was given to the south block of the Kirkwood Range by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in October 1957, but in subsequent New Zealand and U.S. maps the name is identified as the 1810 m summit described above. Following additional mapping by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1999 and consultation between Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) and New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB), the name Endeavour Massif was approved for the south block of the Kirkwood Range. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Endeavour has been retained for the summit near Ketchum Ridge. The summit and the massif are named after HMNZS Endeavour (formerly John Biscoe), supply ship to the 1957 New Zealand Northern Survey Party.

Ernesto Pass (-54.01667°N, -37.73333°W) is a pass between Morsa Bay and Right Whale Bay in the northwest part of South Georgia. The name Don Ernesto Glacier, for the catcher Pesca, was used for a glacier in the area on a British Admiralty chart in 1931. The SGS, 1955-56, reported that the glacier is now vestigial and no longer reaches the sea, but that the pass requires a name. The form Ernesto Pass was recommended by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1957.

First surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1946-47, and named West Gould Glacier. With East Gould Glacier it was reported to fill a transverse depression across Graham Land, but further survey in 1957 showed no close topographical alignment between the two. The name Gould has been limited to the east glacier and an entirely new name, for Angus B. Erskine, leader of the first FIDS party to travel down the glacier and to survey it in detail, has been approved for the west glacier.

Eternity Range is divided into three main mountain blocks, the major summits in each from north to south being Mounts Faith, Hope and Charity. These four names were applied by Lincoln Ellsworth who discovered the range from the air during his flights of November 21 and 23, 1935. In November 1936, the range was surveyed by J.R. Rymill of British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) who gave the name Mount Wakefield to the central mountain in the range. This complication by Rymill, and uncertainty as to the precise location or extent of Ellsworth's discovery, hindered for a time a resolution of its nomenclature (i.e., following the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939-41, the name Eternity Range or Eternity Mountains was incorrectly applied to the present Welch Mountains 60 miles farther south). A careful study of the original reports, maps and photographs, and comparison with materials from subsequent expeditions such as Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947, and Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1960, has led to the conclusion that the range described comprises at least the core of Ellsworth's Eternity Range and appropriately commemorates his discovery. The name Wakefield, given by Rymill, has been transferred to nearby Wakefield Highland.
