'''Sewing-Machine Needles''' ({{coor dm|62|58|S|60|30|W|}}) is a three prominent rock needles, the highest 45 m, lying close southeast of [[Rancho Point]], [[Deception Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name [[Sewing-Machine Rock]] was given by whalers for what was originally a conspicuous natural arch. Needles is now considered the more suitable descriptive term; an earthquake tremor in 1924 caused the arch to collapse.

'''Seymour Island''' ({{coor dm|64|17|S|56|45|W|}}) is an [[island]] 10 nautical miles (18 km) long and 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide at its greatest breadth, lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of [[Snow Hill Island]] at the south margin of Erebus and [[Terror Gulf The]] northeast end of this feature was sighted by a British expedition under Ross, [[January 6]], [[1843]], and named [[Cape Seymour]] after [[R. Admiral George Francis Seymour]]. Its insular nature was determined by Captain [[C.A. Larsen]] in 1892-93 and the name Seymour has since been extended to the entire island.

'''Shackleton Ice Shelf''' ({{coor dm|66|0|S|100|0|E|}}) is an extensive [[ice shelf]] fronting the coast of Antarctica for about 240 nautical miles (440 km) (95E to l05E), projecting seaward about 90 nautical miles (170 km) in the west portion and 40 nautical miles (70 km) in the east. The existence of this ice shelf was first made known by the [[United States Exploring Expedition]] under Wilkes who mapped a portion of it from the Vincennes in February 1840. It was explored by the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] under Mawson (1911-14) who named it for [[Sir Ernest Shackleton]]. The extent of the ice shelf was mapped in greater detail in 1955, using aerial photography obtained by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47. Further mapping by the [[Soviet Expedition]] of 1956 showed the portion eastward of [[Scott Glacier]] to be a part of this ice shelf.

They were charted by DI personnel on the [[William Scoresby]] in 1927.

So named by the [[Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition]] (1964-65) because of the ease with which they were able to approach the feature, and because of the relative simplicity of its geologic nature.

Mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos, 1955-63. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Commander [[William A.

'''Simpson Glacier''' ({{coor dm|71|17|S|168|38|E|}}) is a [[glacier]], 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, in the [[Admiralty Mountains]]. It flows northward to the coast between [[Nelson Cliff]] and [[Mount Cherry-Garrard]] where it forms the [[Simpson Glacier Tongue]]. The latter feature was named by the [[British Antarctic Expedition]], 1910-13, after [[Sir George Simpson]], meteorologist of the expedition. The glacier described was mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS), 1960-63, and was so named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) because (with [[Fendley Glacier]] to the east) it nourishes the Simpson Glacier Tongue.

'''Simpson Glacier Tongue''' ({{coor dm|71|15|S|168|45|E|}}) is a small floating [[glacier]] tongue nourished by [[Simpson Glacier]] and [[Fendley Glacier]] as it extends into the sea between [[Nelson Cliff]] and [[Atkinson Cliffs]], along the north coast of [[Victoria Land]]. Charted by the [[Northern Party]], led by Campbell, of the [[British Antarctic Expedition]], 1910-13. Named for Dr. (later Sir) [[George C. Simpson]], meteorologist of the expedition.

'''Simpson Head''' ({{coor dm|73|21|S|60|59|W|}}) is a conspicuous promontory rising to 1,065 meters. It projects south into the north side of [[New Bedford Inlet]] 4 nautical miles (7 km) northwest of [[Cape Kidson]], on the east coast of [[Palmer Land]]. Discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by members of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS). During 1947 it was photographed from the air by members of the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), who in conjunction with the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for [[Sir George C. Simpson]].
