Antarctic Place Names

Geographical names in the Antarctic are not within the remit of the PCGN.

Information on features within British Antarctic Territory (BAT), can be found on the website of the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee.

For information on the naming of features in the whole of Antarctica, consult the online gazetteer compiled by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR): The Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.

Or, alternatively, search the United States Board on Geographic Names' Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (ACAN) database.
