'''Blaskimen Island''' ({{coor dm|70|25|S|3|0|W|}}) is a high, ice covered [[island]] about 8 nautical miles (15 km) north of [[Novyy Island]], at the juncture of the Jelbart and [[Fimbul Ice Shelves]], [[Queen Maud Land]]. The island rises about 300 m above the general level of the [[ice shelf]] and is surrounded by this ice, except for the north side which borders the sea. The feature was roughly delineated by Norwegian cartographers working with air photos taken by [[Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition]] (NBSAE) in 1951-52 and [[Norwegian Antarctic Expedition]] in 1958-59. They called the island Blaskimen and included the area now called Novyy Island. The [[Soviet Antarctic Expedition]] mapped the feature in 1961 and showed it to be separated from Novyy Island.

A point on the cliffs 1,135 m high was occupied as a survey station by [[J. Manning]], surveyor with the ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) [[Prince Charles Mountains]] survey party in January 1969. So named because of the great amount of turbulence caused by updraft currents.

'''Blythe Bay''' ({{coor dm|62|28|S|60|20|W|}}) is an anchorage at the southeast side of [[Desolation Island]], lying north of [[Livingston Island]] in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The feature was known to American and British sealers as Blythe Bay as early as 1821. In the 1930's, however, the name was applied to a large [[bay]] between [[Williams Point]] and [[Cape Shirreff]] (now [[Hero Bay]]). This error has now been rectified and the name Blythe Bay is approved as originally used. The name is probably after Blythe (now Blyth), England, home of [[William Smith]] who reported the discovery of the South Shetland Islands in 1819.

'''Bob Island''' ({{coor dm|64|56|S|63|26|W|}}) is a rocky [[island]] 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long and 145 m high, lying 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of [[Cape Errera]], [[Wiencke Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]]. An island in this vicinity was surveyed and photographed by the [[Belgian Antarctic Expedition]] under Gerlache in 1898. It was originally called "[[Ile Famine]]," but in the reports resulting from the expedition it was renamed "[[Ile Bob]]." In a survey of the area in 1955, the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) made a landing on this island. Although it differs somewhat in size and position from the Belgian Antarctic Expedition reports, the FIDS found it closely resembles the Belgian Antarctic Expedition photograph and consider it to be the island originally named.

Although evidence, recently uncovered, indicates that Bouvetoya was resighted in 1808 by the British ships [[Snow Swan]] and Otter, it was not until the visit of the German ship feature were determined and made known.
