The feature appears on charts dating back to the 1930s. It was surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Professor Paul Sabatier (1854-1941), French chemist, whose work with Jean-Baptiste Senderens led to the introduction in about 1907 of the hydrogenation process for hardening whale oil.

Sabine Glacier
Sabine Glacier (-63.91667°N, -59.78333°W) is a glacier terminating at the sea between Wennersgaard Point and Cape Kater on the northwest coast of Graham Land. Captain Henry Foster gave the name "Cape Sabine" in 1829 to a feature lying southeast of Cape Kater but it has not been possible to identify that cape. This toponym preserves the early use of Sabine in this area. Sir Edward Sabine (1788-1883), English astronomer and geodesist, was a member of the committee which planned the 1829 voyage of Foster in the Chanticleer.

Mount Sabine
Mount Sabine (-71.91667°N, 169.55°W) is a prominent, relatively snow-free mountain rising to 3,720 m between the heads of Murray Glacier and Burnette Glacier in the Admiralty Mountains.

John Balleny has long been credited with having seen land in March 1839 in about 117E. The United States Exploring Expedition under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes approached this coast in February 1840 and indicated its general configuration as shown in part by "Totten High Land" on his 1840 chart. In 1931 the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Douglas Mawson saw what appeared to be land in this longitude about one degree farther south than that reported by Balleny and Wilkes. In recognition of Balleny's effort, Mawson retained the name of the cutter in 95E in the latter part of March 1839.

Sabrina Island
Sabrina Island (-66.95°N, 163.28333°W) is the largest of three small islets lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southward of Buckle Island in the Balleny Islands.

Saburro, Commanding Officer of the 109 Airlift Wing, New York Air National Guard, who was the first Guard commander for Operation Deep Freeze.

Sachse Rocks
Sachse Rocks (-54.4°N, 3.41667°W) is a group of submerged rocks which lie close to the northern coast of Bouvetoya and approximately 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) southeast of Cape Valdivia. The rocks were charted and named by the Norwegian expedition, 1927-28, under Captain Harald Horntvedt. Named for Walter Sachse, navigation officer on the German vessel, the 1898 and accurately fixed the position of the island for the first time.

Sack who served as photographer's mate with the central task force of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47, and assisted U.S. Navy Operation Windmill parties in obtaining photographic coverage of this area in January 1948. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Sacramento Bight
Sacramento Bight (-54.48333°N, -36.01667°W) is an open bight, 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) wide, between Calf Head and Cape Harcourt on the north coast of South Georgia. The name "Pinguin-Bay" was given by the German group of the International Polar Year Investigations, 1882-83, to a small bay within the bight now described. The SGS, 1951-52, reported that a name is not necessary for this bay, and that the bight, which is known to whalers and sealers as Sacramento Bay, does require a name. In order to indicate the correct nature of the feature, and at the same time to conform to local usage, the name Sacramento Bight is approved.

Saddle Bluff
Saddle Bluff (-56.7°N, -27.15°W) is a point 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km) northwest of Irving Point on the northeast side of Visokoi Island in the South Sandwich Islands. Named by DI personnel on the Discovery II following their survey in 1930.

Sail Rock (Heard Island)
Sail Rock (-52.9°N, 73.56667°W) is a rock lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Shag Island and 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of Heard Island. This rock, though positioned several miles too far westward, appears to have been first shown on an 1860 sketch map compiled by Captain H.C. Chester, American sealer operating in the area during this period. It was more accurately charted and named on an 1874 chart by the Challenger expedition.

Sail Rock (South Shetland Islands)
Sail Rock (-63.03333°N, -60.95°W) is an insular rock, 30 m high, lying 7 nautical miles (13 km) southwest of Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands. This name, which dates back to at least 1822, was probably given by sealers. From a distance, the rock is reported to resemble a ship under sail, but at close range it is more like a house with a gable roof.

Bay of Sails
Bay of Sails (-77.35°N, 163.56667°W) is a shallow indentation of the coast of Victoria Land between Spike Cape and Gneiss Point. The name was suggested by the Western Geological Party of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13), which while sledging across the ice at the mouth of the bay erected makeshift sails on their man-drawn sledge, thereby increasing the speed.

Saint Andrews Bay
Saint Andrews Bay (-54.43333°N, -36.18333°W) is a bight 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, indenting the north coast of South Georgia immediately south of Mount Skittle. Probably first sighted by the British expedition under Cook which explored the north coast of South Georgia in 1775. The name dates back to at least 1920 and is now well established. On charts where abbreviations are used, the name may be abbreviated to St. Andrews Bay.

Saint George Peak
Saint George Peak (-69.1°N, -72.05°W) is a peak in the west part of the Havre Mountains, 1,500 m, situated 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of Cape Vostok on Alexander Island. In 1821 the Russian expedition under Bellingshausen sighted a very high mountain in this area to which they gave the name "Gora Svyatogo Georgiya Pobedonostsa" (Mountain of Saint George the Victor). Though the position reported by them for this mountain would place it in the sea, it has been assumed that the peak described here is the same feature. It was first mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. The translated form of the name suggested by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) has been approved.

Sally Cove
Sally Cove (-67.8°N, -67.28333°W) is a cove indenting the northwest shore of Horseshoe Island, off Graham Land. So named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the cove was used by all sledging parties leaving the nearby Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) station for the north.

Sally Rocks
Sally Rocks (-62.7°N, -60.43333°W) is a group of rocks lying in South Bay just north of Miers Bluff, Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name Sallys Cove was applied to a feature shown lying southward of Johnsons Dock by James Weddell in 1820-23. There is no true cove in this area, but these rocks may have formed one arm of what appeared to him to be a cove. The name Sally Rocks was given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1961 in order to preserve Weddell's name in the vicinity.

Salmon Bay
Salmon Bay (-77.93333°N, 164.55°W) is a bay just north of Cape Chocolate along the coast of Victoria Land. The bay was originally named Davis Bay in association with Davis Glacier (now Salmon Glacier) by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. The glacier was subsequently renamed Salmon Glacier by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956-58) to avoid confusion with a second Davis Glacier in Victoria Land. In order to preserve the original association, the name of this bay was also changed.

Salmon Cliff
Salmon Cliff (-72.36667°N, 170.1°W) is the second prominent rock cliff south of Seabee Hook on the west side of Hallett Peninsula. Named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1957-58, for K.J. Salmon, physicist and scientific leader at Hallett Station in 1958.

Salmon Glacier
Salmon Glacier (-77.96667°N, 164.08333°W) is a small glacier lying 5 nautical miles (9 km) west-southwest of Cape Chocolate and immediately south of Salmon Hill in Victoria Land. It appears on the charts of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13) as Davis Glacier, a name given to another feature in Victoria Land. To avoid the confusion of having identical names for nearby features, this glacier was renamed after nearby Salmon Hill by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956-58.

Salmon Hill
