Siple Ridge () is a high (2,570 m) ridge, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) wide, being the more northern of two ridges that extend west from the Mount Feather block, in the Quartermain Mountains, Victoria Land. The narrow upper surface is capped by ice but rock is exposed at many points along abrupt cliffs. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1992 after Ruth J. Siple, widow of renowned Antarctican Paul A. Siple (Mount Siple, q.v.); Honorary President and active supporter of The Antarctican Society; Honored Guest at the dedication of the new U.S. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station at the site on January 9, 1975.

He was nationally known for his work in ecology, and published several books on ecological and other areas of natural history. He published 10 books (not counting some small-press books of nature poetry, many of a humorous nature) in addition to scientific articles. Lindsey was a founding member of the Nature Conservancy. Honors: Named Eminent Ecologist of 1976, Ecological Society of America Antarctican Lindsey Islands named for him.

Surveyors Range () is an Antarctican mountain range 30 miles (48 km) long, extending north along the east side of Starshot Glacier from the Thompson Mountain area to the glaciers terminus at the Ross Ice Shelf. Named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1960–61) for the early pioneering surveyors of New Zealand and present day equivalents in Great Britain who contributed to work carried out in this area by Captain P.J. Hunt, Royal Engineers.

The second schedule was set to begin only after Mohanlal completes filming for Sathyan Anthikkad film. On 30 October, Mohanlal announced that the second schedule of production was over in Bangalore and Kochi with 80 percent of filming being completed. The production team planned to regroup after taking a break for filming the climax action sequences. After the break, the third schedule started at Ernakulam in December's second week after Mohanlal returned from his Antarctican tour on 5 December 2014.

Sturgeon and his circle of advisors shared the bounty of the Vault, but as with all things that begin perfect, corruption and betrayal soon sets in. The Covenant even purchased South Georgia Island from Britannia, turning it into a city called The Gateway, as a means for foreigners to visit the new nation. But then, in 1866, the Covenant suddenly enclosed its borders, and Sturgeon, without explanation, halted the flow of knowledge. Almost all of the Antarctican academics left their posts and returned home.

Penhale also served as Secretary of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (now the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography), 1985-1997, and the President of the Antarctican Society, 1992-1994. She has been a member of the US Delegation to the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), through which she played a central role in writing and reviewing Antarctic protected area management plans, and is Vice-Chair and US Representative to the Committee for Environmental Protection, Antarctic Treaty.

The Denison-Crockett Expedition (1937–1938) was a scientific expedition organized by Charis Denison Crockett and her husband Frederick Crockett for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. In 1934 Charis Denison graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Radcliffe. She married Frederick E. Crockett, M.D., who had been a dog driver on Admiral Byrd's 1928–30 Antarctican expedition.298 Marlborough, Back Bay Houses Charis Crockett persuaded her husband to become a photographer on a small expedition to New Guinea, where she would do anthropological research.

The Comer Range () is an Antarctican mountain range, long, running southwest to northeast and rising to 600 meters to the west of Harbour Glacier in Wiencke Island, Palmer Archipelago. From south to north the range includes Jabet Peak and Noble Peak. Named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2007 after Gary Comer (1927-2006), an American philanthropist and founder of the Lands' End company whose association with polar research stems from his 2001 trip through the Northwest Passage in the vessel Turmoil. The ease of his passage in comparison to that of numerous experienced sailors previously convinced him that climate change was occurring.

It was named after the Finnish concept of sisu, meaning a sense of steadfast, rugged perseverance. The name has not been officially sanctioned by the United States Geological Survey, as it is not found on their Geographic Names Information System,United States Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System for Antarctican placenames nor does it meet the organization's standards for geological nomenclature on the Antarctic continent. Mount Sisu, reaching a height of 4300 meters over sea level, is located in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, also the site of the highest peak in the Antarctic, the Vinson Massif. The nearest other peaks to Mount Sisu are Mount Anderson and Mount Bentley.

Indeed, it was long assumed that all prehistoric penguins which cannot be assigned to extant genera belonged into the Palaeeudyptinae; this view is generally considered obsolete today. It is likely that some of the unassigned New Zealand/Antarctican/Australian genera like Delphinornis, Marambiornis, and Mesetaornis do indeed belong into this subfamily, but it is just as probable that others, such as Duntroonornis and Korora, represent another, smaller and possibly somewhat more advanced lineage. The Palaeeudyptinae as originally defined (Simpson, 1946) contained only the namesake genus, the remainder being placed in the Anthropornithidae. The arrangement followed here is based on the review of Marples (1962) who synonymized the two, with updates to incorporate more current findings.

16 (89% of total species) have had their population estimated: those missing are the king and little penguins, both of which have been assessed as being of least concern. A variety of methods are used for counting penguins, and April 2012 saw their first census from space, when imagery from Ikonos, QuickBird-2, and WorldView-2 satellites were used to count Antarctican emperors. This is a similar technique to that used by the UNHCR to count humans in Somalia. Most maritime surveys use strip transect and distance sampling to measure density; this is then extrapolated over the animal's range. The Galapagos has been counted annually since 1961 by the Galápagos National Park Service.
