Summers Peak (-69.7°N, 64.88333°W) is the highest peak (2,225 m) of the Stinear Nunataks in Mac. Robertson Land. Discovered by an ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) southern party (1954) led by R.G. Dovers, who named it for Dr. R.O. Summers, medical officer at Mawson Station in 1954.

Mount Summerson
Mount Summerson (-82.71667°N, 155.08333°W) is a mountain, 2,310 m, surmounting the north end of Endurance Cliffs in the Geologists Range. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Charles H. Summerson, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) geologist to the Mount Weaver area, 1962-63.

Summit Pass
Summit Pass (-63.45°N, -57.03333°W) is a col 345 m high between Passes Peak and Summit Ridge, situated 2. 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of the head of Hope Bay and 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of Duse Bay, at the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula. This area was first explored by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04. Summit Pass was first charted and named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1945. It is the highest point on the sledge route between Hope Bay and Duse Bay.

Summit Ridge
Summit Ridge (-63.45°N, -57.03333°W) is a ridge, 380 m, with a steep ice slope on the north side and a rock cliff on the south side. It extends eastward from Passes Peak for 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) and is located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) south of the head of Hope Bay at the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula. This area was first explored by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 190l-04. Summit Ridge was first charted and named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1945. The feature takes its name from nearby Summit Pass.

Sumner Glacier
Sumner Glacier (-68.88333°N, -65.66667°W) is a short, broad tributary glacier that flows northeast into the lower reaches of Weyerhaeuser Glacier, close west of Mount Solus, in southern Graham Land. Sketched from the air by D.P. Mason of Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in August 1947. The lower reaches only were surveyed from the ground by FIDS in December 1958. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Thomas H. Sumner (1807-76), American sailor who, in 1837, introduced the position line method of navigation, since developed into standard practice at sea and in the air.

Mount Sumner
Mount Sumner (-74.5°N, -63.75°W) is a mountain at the southeast end of the Rare Range, in Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Joseph W. Sumner, utilitiesman at South Pole Station in 1964.

Sumrall Peak
Sumrall Peak (-82.8°N, -53.55°W) is a peak, 1,130 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Rosser Ridge in the Cordiner Peaks, Pensacola Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956-66. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Ens. William H. Sumrall, U.S. Navy Reserve, airplane pilot, Ellsworth Station winter party, 1957.

Sunday Island
Sunday Island (-66.46667°N, -66.45°W) is an island close north of Rambler Island in the Bragg Islands. First mapped and named by Commander W.M. Carey, Royal Navy of the Discovery II (1930-31). It was reidentified and surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1958. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Mount Sundbeck
Mount Sundbeck (-86.16667°N, -158.46667°W) is a peak, 3,030 m, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Mount Stubberud on a ridge from the north side of Nilsen Plateau, in Queen Maud Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from the surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Knut Sundbeck, engineer of the ship naming preserves the spirit of Amundsen's 1911 commemoration of "Mount K. Sundbeck," a name applied for an unidentifiable mountain in the general area.

Mount Sundberg
Mount Sundberg (-70.56667°N, 66.8°W) is a pyramidal peak surmounting the central part of Thomson Massif in the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains. First visited in December 1956 by the ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) southern party led by W.G. Bewsher. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Sgt. G. Sundberg, engine fitter with the RAAF Antarctic Flight at Mawson Station in 1956.

Sunfix Glacier
Sunfix Glacier (-69.26667°N, -64.5°W) is a tributary glacier, 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, draining east-northeast between Grimley and Lurabee Glaciers into Casey Glacier, in northern Palmer Land. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) on December 22, 1947. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in November 1960. The name derives from the important sun fix for latitude which was observed by FIDS at the head of this glacier, an area where cloud seldom allows such observation.

Sungold Hill
Sungold Hill (-64.38333°N, -57.86667°W) is a prominent round hill (860 m) with distinctive convex slopes, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) inland between Cape Foster and Jefford Point on the south coast of James Ross Island. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveys, 1958-61. The name records the characteristic color of the exposed rock cliffs.

Sunk Lake
Sunk Lake (-77.56667°N, 166.21667°W) is a small lake lying between Deep Lake and the coast at Cape Royds, Ross Island. The descriptive name appears on the maps by the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13), but it may have been given earlier by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09). The surface of the ice comprising the lake is 18 ft below sea level.

Sunken Rock
Sunken Rock (-53.01667°N, 73.56667°W) is a sunken rock lying 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) north-northeast of Morgan Island, close off the north side of Heard Island. Surveyed and named by the ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1948.

Sunker Nunataks
Sunker Nunataks (-76.66667°N, 161.41667°W) is a group of small, rounded nunataks rising through the ice on the east side of Northwind Glacier, similar in appearance to a reef at sea, in the Convoy Range, Victoria Land. So named by a 1989-90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Program (NZARP) field party. In Newfoundland fisherman's parlance, a sunker is a rocky reef.

Sunny Ridge
Sunny Ridge (-87°N, -154.43333°W) is a partly snow-free ridge that trends southward for 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) from the western extremity of Mount Weaver. It stands at the west side of and near the head of Scott Glacier. The ridge was scaled by the Ohio State University geological party in November 1962. So named by party leader George Doumani because of very sunny conditions during the climb.

Sunset Fjord
Sunset Fjord (-54.05°N, -37.45°W) is a bay 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) wide in the southwest corner of the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. Charted in 1912-13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy, and so named by him because from his anchorage in the Bay of Isles the sun appeared to set directly behind this feature.

Sunshine Glacier
Sunshine Glacier (-60.63333°N, -45.5°W) is a glacier, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, flowing south into Iceberg Bay on the south coast of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It is the largest glacier on the south side of Coronation Island and terminates in ice cliffs up to 60 m high. Surveyed in 1948-49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and so named by them because, when all else was in shadow, small gaps in the clouds above frequently allowed patches of sunshine to appear on the surface of this glacier.
