'''Gadarene Lake''' ({{coor dm|71|24|S|67|35|W|}}) is a meltwater [[lake]] 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long in the [[ice shelf]] of [[George VI Sound]], lying below [[Swine Hill]] with its east shore bounding the exposed rocks of the west coast of [[Palmer Land]].

'''Geologie Archipelago''' ({{coor dm|66|39|S|139|55|E|}}) is a small archipelago of rocky islands and rocks close north of [[Cape Geodesie]] and [[Astrolabe Glacier Tongue]], extending from [[Helene Island]] on the west to [[Dumoulin Islands]] on the east. [[The French]] expedition under Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville landed on [[Debarquement Rock]] in the Dumoulin Islands in January 1840. Because rock samples were obtained, they gave the name "[[Pointe Geologie]]" to a coastal feature charted as lying south of Debarquement Rock. The archipelago was delineated, in part, from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. Following surveys by [[French Antarctic Expedition]] parties during the 1950-52 period, the French gave the name "Archipel de Pointe Geologie" to the entire archipelago, as d'Urville's coastal feature is believed to correlate with portions of the cluster of islands close north of Astrolabe Glacier Tongue.
