Green Island
Green Island (-54.88333°N, -36.1°W) is a small, rounded, tussock-covered island which lies immediately southeast of Cape Disappointment, the south tip of South Georgia. The name "Green Islands," derived from their covering of tussock grass, was given in 1775 by a British expedition under Cook to a group of three islands lying close off Cape Disappointment. The name "Grune Insel" or "Grun-Insel," meaning Green Island, was used for this island by Kohl-Larsen in 1930, presumably because of local usage. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that whalers and sealers, in practice, use separate names for the three islands, limiting the name Green Island to the northernmost one. Brode Island is the central island and First Rock is southernmost of the three. The name "Green Islands" given by Cook for the three islands is apparently not needed and has dropped from use. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Chaplin, Royal Navy, of the Discovery, during his survey of the Undine Harbor area in 1926 but it is not used locally. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that the feature requires a name, but that Deep Inlet is not sufficiently distinctive; it is descriptive of so many features at South Georgia.

Guepratte Island (-64.5°N, -63°W) is an ice-covered island 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long, lying between Anvers and Brabant Islands at the east side of the entrance to Fournier Bay, Palmer Archipelago. This island was first shown on the Friederichsen map of 1895, embodying the 1873-74 explorations of a German expedition under Dallmann. It was later charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, under Charcot, who named it after Captain Guepratte, French Navy. The name Discovery Island, applied in 1927 by DI personnel on the Discovery, has been rejected in favor of the earlier name. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Mount Guernsey
Mount Guernsey (-69.33333°N, -68.23333°W) is an isolated, mainly ice-covered mountain, 1,250 m, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) north of the summit of Mount Edgell, on the west coast of Antarctic Peninsula. The name "Ile Guernesey" was given in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, after the island of Guernsey off the coast of France. The position of "Ile Guernesey" on the French Antarctic Expedition maps does not agree with that of the mountain described above, but from the French Antarctic Expedition narrative and sketches by Bongrain, French Antarctic Expedition surveyor, it has been determined that this mountain was the feature seen in 1909 by Charcot from a position near the center of the entrance to Marguerite Bay. The mountain was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), but no name was assigned. It was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948.

Guile Island (-65.73333°N, -65.18333°W) is an island lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southwest of Duchaylard Island, in the Biscoe Islands. Charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 because, while there appears to be a number of landing places on this island, numerous underwater rocks make approach dangerous. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Charted and named "White City" by the Br expedition under Shackleton, 1921-22, but this name is considered unsuitable and has never been used locally. Gulbrandsen Lake was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1957 for Gunnar Gulbrandsen, pattern-maker at the Compania Argentina de Pesca station at Grytviken, 1927-30, carpenter at Stromness, 1945-46, and variously carpenter, dockforeman, dockmaster, and junior officer at the South Georgia Whaling Co. station, Leith Harbor, for several years beginning in 1946.

Gulch Island (-63.98333°N, -61.48333°W) is an island lying northwest of Small Island in the Christiania Islands, in the Palmer Archipelago. Shown on an Argentine government chart of 1952. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 because the island is deeply indented. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Gull Channel
Gull Channel (-68.18333°N, -67°W) is a channel 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) wide between Dynamite Island and Stonington Island, along the west coast of Graham Land. First surveyed by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939-41, and so named by them because numerous sea gulls frequented the channel area.

Gull Lake (Antarctica)
Gull Lake (-54.28333°N, -36.51667°W) is a lake, 0.15 nautical miles (0.3 km) in diameter, lying close to the southwest shore of King Edward Cove, 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) south of the abandoned whaling station at Grytviken, South Georgia. First roughly surveyed and named "Mowensee" or "Moven See" (Gull Lake) by A. Szielasko, who visited South Georgia in 1906. The English form Gull Lake was used by Robert Cushman Murphy in 1947, in describing his visit to the lake in November 1912. This latter form, recommended by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954, is approved.

The Gullet
The Gullet (-67.16667°N, -67.63333°W) is a narrow channel between the east extremity of Adelaide Island and the west coast of Graham Land, separating Hansen and Day Islands and connecting the heads of Hanusse Bay and Laubeuf Fjord. This area was first explored in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot who, though uncertain of the existence of the channel, sketched its probable position on the charts of the expedition. The channel was first visited and roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. It was resurveyed and given this descriptive name in 1948 by members of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS).

Gulliver Nunatak
Gulliver Nunatak (-66.2°N, -62.66667°W) is a nunatak with a flat, ice-free summit, 575 m, at the north side of Adie Inlet, 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 the fictional character in Jonathan Swift's appearance is suggestive of a man lying on his back with his head toward the south.

Mount Gunn (-76.86667°N, 160.7°W) is a massive mountain, 2,465 m, standing in the Convoy Range about 7 nautical miles (13 km) northwest of Mount Gran in Victoria Land Photographed in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956-58) and named by them for Bernard M. Gunn, a member of the party.

First observed from the air and roughly charted in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Surveyed from the ground in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who gave this descriptive name. The channel gives a false impression of such narrowness that a boat could not navigate it without scraping her gunnels (gunwales) on either side.

Mount Gunner
Mount Gunner (-83.53333°N, 169.63333°W) is a partially snow-covered peak (1,430 m) that rises from the southern part of Morris Heights in Queen Alexandra Range.
