Brutus Island
Islet
Brutus Island is a small island lying near the center of Prince Olav Harbour on the north coast of South Georgia. The descriptive name Saddle Island was given for this feature, probably by a British expedition under Ernest Shackleton, 1921–22, but the same name is used elsewhere in the Antarctic; to avoid confusion a new name has been approved for this feature.
Hay Peak
Peak
Hay Peak is a peak rising to 660 metres at the head of Prince Olav Harbour in Cook Bay, South Georgia. It was charted and descriptively named "The Snow Pap" by the Discovery Investigations in 1929, but subsequently deleted.
Austin Glacier
Glacier
The Bay of Isles is a bay 9 miles wide and 3 miles deep, lying between Cape Buller and Cape Wilson along the north coast of South Georgia. It was discovered in 1775 by a British expedition under James Cook and so named by him because numerous islands lie in the bay. Austin Glacier is situated 3½ km southwest of Prince Olaf Harbour.
