Ferrar Glacier
Ferrar Glacier (-77.76667°N, 163°W) is a glacier about 35 nautical miles (60 km) long, flowing from the plateau of Victoria Land west of the Royal Society Range to New Harbor in McMurdo Sound. The glacier makes a right (east) turn northeast of Knobhead, where it is apposed, i.e., joined in Siamese-twin fashion, to Taylor Glacier. From there, it continues east along the south side of Kukri Hills to New Harbor. Discovered by the Discovery expedition (1901-04) under Captain Robert F. Scott, R.N., who named this feature for Hartley T. Ferrar, geologist of the expedition. The name Ferrar Glacier was originally applied both to the part of this glacier below its right turn and to the present Taylor Glacier. Griffith Taylor, geologist of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-14) under Scott, found evidence that these are not two parts of a single glacier but are two glaciers apposed. With this discovery Scott gave the names Ferrar Glacier and Taylor Glacier essentially as now applied; the Taylor Glacier makes a left turn at Cavendish Rocks and drains east along the north side of Kukri Hills.

Fisher Point
Fisher Point (-81.15°N, 160.71667°W) is a rock coastal point on the east margin of the Darley Hills, Churchill Mountains. The point marks the south side of the mouth of ice-filled Grazzini Bay at Ross Ice Shelf. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Franklin L. Fisher, Chief of the Illustrations Division, National Geographic Magazine, about 1905-49. One of several features in Darley Hills that are named for NGM staff

Fisher Spur
Fisher Spur (-71.15°N, 159.83333°W) is a rugged rock spur jutting northward from the west flank of Daniels Range immediately north of Mount Nero, in the Usarp Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-63. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Dean F. Fisher, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) geophysicist at McMurdo Station, 1967-68.

Mount Fisher
Mount Fisher (-85.1°N, -171.05°W) is a domed, snow-capped summit (4,080 m) standing 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of Mount Ray in the Prince Olav Mountains. Discovered and photographed by R. Admiral Byrd on flights to the Queen Maud Mountains in November 1929, and named by him for the Fisher brothers, Detroit industrialists and contributors to the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928-30.

Fishhook Ridge
Fishhook Ridge (-64.45°N, -59.6°W) is a ridge rising to about 100 m on the east side of Sobral Peninsula, Nordenskjold Coast. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1990 from the shape of the feature in plan view.

Fishtail Point
Fishtail Point (-78.95°N, 162.6°W) is the southernmost point of Shults Peninsula, at the east side of the mouth of Skelton Glacier. Surveyed and given this descriptive name in 1957 by the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956-58).

Fishtrap Cove
Fishtrap Cove (-68.18333°N, -67°W) is a small cove 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) northwest of Boulder Point on the southwest side of Stonington Island, close off the west coast of Graham Land. First surveyed by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939-41. Resurveyed in 1946-47 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it because FIDS parties used this cove for setting fish traps.

Cape Fiske
Cape Fiske (-74.35°N, -60.45°W) is a cape which forms the east tip of Smith Peninsula, on the east coast of Palmer Land. This cape was photographed from the air by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in December 1940, and in 1947 by members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by Ronne for C.O. Fiske climatologist with the Ronne expedition.

Fission Wall
Fission Wall (-85.86667°N, -155.2°W) is a 1,400 m high granite cliff on the north face of Mount Griffith, Hays Mountains, in the Queen Maud Mountains. The feature was climbed on November 16, 1987, by a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP)-Arizona State University geological party led by Edmund Stump. The name derives from granite samples collected on the wall at 100 m spacing for dating by the fission-track method.

Fitch Glacier
Fitch Glacier (-72.01667°N, 168.11667°W) is a tributary glacier flowing south along the east side of McGregor Range to enter Man-o-War Glacier in the Admiralty Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant E.E. Fitch, U.S. Navy, medical officer at Hallett Station, 1963.

Fitchie Bay (-60.75°N, -44.48333°W) is a bay lying between Cape Dundas and Cape Whitson on the south side of Laurie Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Charted in 1903 by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition under Bruce, who named it for John Fitchie, second mate of the expedition ship Scotia.
