'''Stepping Stone Pond''' ({{coor dm|77|33|S|160|47|E|}}) is a small freshwater frozen pond 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) east-northeast of [[Craig Pond]] in the Labyrinth of [[Wright Valley]], [[McMurdo Dry Valleys]]. So named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) (2004) following a visit by the [[United States Antarctic Program]] (USAP) field sampling party (2003-04), which reported the pond has perfect stepping stones that allow it to be crossed easily.

'''Stepping Stones''' ({{coor dm|64|47|S|64|0|W|}}) is a three prominent rocks lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) north of [[Limitrophe Island]], off the southwest coast of [[Anvers Island]]. The rocks form one of a series of small boat refuges for parties working between nearby [[Palmer Station]] and [[Biscoe Bay]], and therefore form "stepping stones" for coastal trips. Named by Palmer Station personnel in 1972.

'''Stina Rock''' ({{coor dm|54|0|S|37|58|W|}}) is a conical rock, 35 m high, lying off [[Cape Pride]] in the east side of the entrance to Elsehul, off the north coast of [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Pillar Rock]] was probably given by Lieutenant Commander [[J.M. Chaplin]], [[Royal Navy]], during his survey of Elsehul in 1930, but this same name is more frequently used for a feature 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) away in [[Bird Sound]] than it is for this rock. Pillar Rock has therefore been rejected for the feature now described and a new name substituted; Stina Rock, proposed by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1957, is for the buoy-boat (ex-catcher) Harbor.

'''Sumrall Peak''' ({{coor dm|82|48|S|53|33|W|}}) is a [[summit (topography)|peak]], 1,130 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of [[Rosser Ridge]] in the [[Cordiner Peaks]], [[Pensacola Mountains]]. Mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos, 1956-66. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for Ens. [[William H. Sumrall]], [[U.S. Navy Reserve]], airplane pilot, [[Ellsworth Station]] winter party, 1957.

'''Sunday Island''' ({{coor dm|66|28|S|66|27|W|}}) is an [[island]] close north of [[Rambler Island]] in the [[Bragg Islands]]. First mapped and named by Commander [[W.M. Carey]], [[Royal Navy]] of the [[Discovery II]] (1930-31). It was reidentified and surveyed by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1958.

'''Mount Sundbeck''' ({{coor dm|86|10|S|158|28|W|}}) is a [[summit (topography)|peak]], 3,030 m, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of [[Mount Stubberud]] on a ridge from the north side of [[Nilsen Plateau]], in [[Queen Maud Mountains]]. Mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from the surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos, 1960-64. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for [[Knut Sundbeck]], engineer of the ship naming preserves the spirit of Amundsen's 1911 commemoration of "[[Mount K. Sundbeck]]," a name applied for an unidentifiable [[mountain]] in the general area.

'''Mount Sundberg''' ({{coor dm|70|34|S|66|48|E|}}) is a pyramidal [[summit (topography)|peak]] surmounting the central part of [[Thomson Massif]] in the [[Aramis Range]], [[Prince Charles Mountains]]. First visited in December 1956 by the ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) southern party led by [[W.G. Bewsher]]. Named by [[Antarctic Names Committee of Australia]] (ANCA) for Sgt. [[G. Sundberg]], engine fitter with the RAAF [[Antarctic Flight]] at [[Mawson Station]] in 1956.

'''Sunfix Glacier''' ({{coor dm|69|16|S|64|30|W|}}) is a tributary [[glacier]], 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, draining east-northeast between Grimley and [[Lurabee Glaciers]] into [[Casey Glacier]], in northern [[Palmer Land]]. Photographed from the air by [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE) on [[December 22]], [[1947]]. Surveyed by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in November 1960. The name derives from the important sun fix for latitude which was observed by FIDS at the head of this glacier, an area where cloud seldom allows such observation.

'''Sungold Hill''' ({{coor dm|64|23|S|57|52|W|}}) is a prominent round hill (860 m) with distinctive convex slopes, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) inland between [[Cape Foster]] and [[Jefford Point]] on the south coast of [[James Ross Island]]. Named by [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) following [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) surveys, 1958-61. The name records the characteristic color of the exposed rock cliffs.

'''Sunk Lake''' ({{coor dm|77|34|S|166|13|E|}}) is a small [[lake]] lying between [[Deep Lake]] and the coast at [[Cape Royds]], [[Ross Island]]. The descriptive name appears on the maps by the [[British Antarctic Expedition]] (1910-13), but it may have been given earlier by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09). The surface of the ice comprising the lake is 18 ft below sea level.

'''Sunken Rock''' ({{coor dm|53|1|S|73|34|E|}}) is a sunken rock lying 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) north-northeast of [[Morgan Island]], close off the north side of [[Heard Island]]. Surveyed and named by the ANARE ([[Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions]]) in 1948.

'''Sunker Nunataks''' ({{coor dm|76|40|S|161|25|E|}}) is a group of small, rounded [[nunatak]]s rising through the ice on the east side of [[Northwind Glacier]], similar in appearance to a reef at sea, in the [[Convoy Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. So named by a 1989-90 [[New Zealand Antarctic Research Program]] (NZARP) field party. In Newfoundland fisherman's parlance, a sunker is a rocky reef.

'''Sunny Ridge''' ({{coor dm|87|0|S|154|26|W|}}) is a partly snow-free ridge that trends southward for 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) from the western extremity of [[Mount Weaver]]. It stands at the west side of and near the head of [[Scott Glacier]]. The ridge was scaled by the [[Ohio State University]] geological party in November 1962. So named by party leader [[George Doumani]] because of very sunny conditions during the climb.

'''Sunset Fjord''' ({{coor dm|54|3|S|37|27|W|}}) is a [[bay]] 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) wide in the southwest corner of the Bay of Isles, [[South Georgia]]. Charted in 1912-13 by [[Robert Cushman Murphy]], American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy, and so named by him because from his anchorage in the Bay of Isles the sun appeared to set directly behind this feature.

'''Sunshine Glacier''' ({{coor dm|60|38|S|45|30|W|}}) is a [[glacier]], 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, flowing south into [[Iceberg Bay]] on the south coast of [[Coronation Island]], in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. It is the largest glacier on the south side of Coronation Island and terminates in ice cliffs up to 60 m high. Surveyed in 1948-49 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) and so named by them because, when all else was in shadow, small gaps in the clouds above frequently allowed patches of sunshine to appear on the surface of this glacier.
