475:. A point marked by rocky exposures on its north side and surmounted by an ice-covered dome, 510 metres (1,670 ft) high, standing at the south side of the mouth of Anthony Glacier. Photographed from the air by the USAS in 1940. During 1947 it was photographed from the air by the RARE under Ronne, who in conjunction with the FIDS charted it from the ground. Named by Ronne for Colonel Richard L. Lewis of the Army Quartermaster Corps, which furnished field equipment and clothing to the RARE for testing purposes. 36: 551:. A conical nunatak, 410 metres (1,350 ft) high, standing 5.5 nautical miles (10.2 km; 6.3 mi) south of Lewis Point on the east coast of Palmer Land. This feature was photographed from the air by members of the US AS in September 1940 and was probably seen by the USAS ground party that explored this coast. During 1947 it was charted by a joint party consisting of members of the RARE and FIDS. Named by the FIDS for David P. James, FIDS surveyor at the Hope Bay base in 1945-46. 272: 43: 777: 743: 513:. A broad glacier that drains the Mount Bailey vicinity and flows between Lewis Point and James Nunatak to the east coast of Palmer Land. Named by US-ACAN after Argentine scientist I. Rafael Cordini, author of reports on the geology and ice of the Antarctic Peninsula and Weddell Sea region. 589:. An ice-covered, dome-shaped island 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) in diameter, lying 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) northeast of Cape Collier. Discovered from the air on November 7, 1947 by RARE, under Ronne, who named it for Doctor Maurice Ewing of 371:. A mostly ice-covered spur, but with prominent bare rock exposures at the tip and near its center, located on the northwest side of Hughes Ice Piedmont, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) south of James Nunatak. Mapped by the 781: 747: 413:. A mountain, 1,445 metres (4,741 ft) high, which stands south of Anthony Glacier and 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) west-southwest of Lewis Point. Charted in 1936-37 by a 63: 192:. Features include Cape Collier in the south and Graham Spur in the north. Nearby features include Mount Bailey, Cordini Glacier, James Nunatak and Ewing Island. 111: 209: 751: 800: 201: 430: 422: 375:(USGS) in 1974. Named by the US-ACAN for William L.
