The feature is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long and lies just north of Spencer Island and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of Steventon Island. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Stuart S. Gould, U.S. Navy Reserve, dental officer at McMurdo Station, 1967. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Gould Knoll
Gould Knoll (-72.23333°N, -100.58333°W) is a mostly ice-covered rock knoll that rises on the east margin of Hale Glacier, Thurston Island, at the point the glacier enters Abbot Ice Shelf. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after William G. Gould, NOAA specialist, 1960s to the mid 1990s, in the archiving of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer satellite images of the world, including those used for AVHRR image maps of the Antarctic continent.

Gould Nunataks
Gould Nunataks (-66.5°N, 51.7°W) is a small group of nunataks about 18 nautical miles (33 km) southeast of Mount Biscoe in Enderby Land. Discovered in January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson, who named them Gould Nunatak after Lieutenant Commander R.T. Gould, Royal Navy, of the Hydropaphic Dept., Admiralty, who worked on the British Admiralty South Polar Chart. Plotted as a group by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) from air photos in 1964.

Discovered in December 1929 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Laurence Gould. Named by Byrd for president Laurence M. Gould of Carleton College, polar explorer who served as geologist and second in command of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928-30. From 1955-1970, Gould was a leader in the planning of the U.S. Antarctic Research Program, and has served as chairman of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Polar Research, and chairman of the international Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.

Goulden Cove
Goulden Cove (-62.18333°N, -58.63333°W) is the southern of two coves at the head of Ezcurra Inlet, Admiralty Bay, on King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Probably named by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, who surveyed Admiralty Bay in December 1909.

Gourdin Island
Gourdin Island (-63.2°N, -57.3°W) is a largest island in a group of islands and rocks 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) north of Prime Head, the north tip of Antarctic Peninsula.
