'''Steepholm''' ({{coor dm|60|47|S|45|9|W|}}) is the southernmost [[island]] in the northern group of the [[Robertson Islands]] in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. It lies close north of [[Skilling Island]] and forms the north side of the navigable channel through the Robertson Islands. The Robertson Islands were discovered by Captain [[George Powell]] and Captain [[Nathaniel Palmer]] in December 1821. The northern group, except [[Matthews Island]] which was thought to be part of [[Coronation Island]], was named "Bratholm" by [[Petter Sorlle]] in 1912-13. The name was later corrected to the plural form, "Brattholmene" (steep islands), by Sorlle. Subsequently "Bratholm" was restricted by others to the one island described. The name Steepholm, derived from the forms used by Sorlle but restricted to the one island, was recommended by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) following surveys by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1948-49.

This strait was first sighted by [[Sir Hubert Wilkins]] at the south end of his flight of [[December 20]], [[1928]], and was named by him for [[Vilhjalmur Stefansson]]. He believed it to be a strait cutting off what is now known to be [[Antarctic Peninsula]] from the main land mass of Antarctica.

'''Stephenson Nunatak''' ({{coor dm|72|11|S|69|5|W|}}) is a prominent, pyramid-shaped rock [[nunatak]], 640 m, which rises 300 m above the surrounding ice at the northwest side of [[Kirwan Inlet]] in the southeast part of [[Alexander Island]]. Discovered and roughly surveyed in 1940-41 by Ronne and Eklund of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS). Resurveyed in 1949 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) and named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) for [[Alfred Stephenson]], surveyor with the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), who led a sledge party south into [[George VI Sound]] to about 72S in 1936.

'''Mount Stephenson''' ({{coor dm|69|49|S|69|43|W|}}) is a highest [[mountain]] in the [[Douglas Range]], 2,985 m, standing at the heads of Toynbee and [[Sedgwick Glaciers]] 8 nautical miles (15 km) west of [[George VI Sound]], on the east side of [[Alexander Island]]. Probably first seen in 1909 by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot, but not recognized as part of the Douglas Range. First surveyed in 1936 by Stephenson, Fleming, and Bertram of the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) under Rymill. The east side of the mountain was resurveyed in 1948 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) who named the feature for [[Alfred Stephenson]], surveyor and leader of the BGLE party to George VI Sound in 1936.
