Rongé Island

Foul ground, containing Orne Islands and above-water rocks, extends about 1 1/4 miles northward of Cape Georges.

The island is high and rugged, with glacier ice lying between the rocky slopes and extending to the water´s edge.

Mount Tennant, a conspicuous mountain with an elevation of about 2,257 feet, rises about 1 1/4 miles southwestward of Cape Georges.

Cape Charles, the eastern extremity, is a bold bare headland with almost vertical cliffs which mark the narrows of Errera Channel, An iron framework beacon, surmounted by a cylindrical topmark painted in yellow and black stripes, stands on the western extremity of Ronge Island.

To avoid confusion with Charles Point in Hughes Bay, an anagram of the name was adopted by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960.

Lester and T. W. Bagshawe, who wintered at nearby Waterboat Point in 1921–22 and used this peak as a prominent landmark during their survey.

A conspicuous peak, 690 metres (2,260 ft) high, situated at the north end of Rongé Island.

Named by members of HMS Snipe, following an Antarctic cruise in January 1948, for Vice Admiral Sir William Tennant, then Commander-in-Chief of the America and West Indies Station.

Named by the UK-APC in 1960 for Adam J. Kerr, Second Officer of RRS Shackleton, who sounded the adjacent Errera Channel in 1956-57.

The name Orne Islands was probably in use by Norwegian whalers, because it was used by Scottish geologist David Ferguson following his geological reconnaissance of this area aboard the Hanka in 1913.

Discovered by the BelgAE, 1897-99, under Adrien de Gerlache, who named this feature for Léo Errera, professor at the University of Brussels and a member of the Belgica Commission.

An island 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) long lying in the south part of Errera Channel, off the west coast of Graham Land.

Surveyed by the FIDS from the Morsel in 1955, and named by the UK-APC for Émile Danco (1869-98), Belgian geophysicist and member of the BelgAE, who died on board the Belgica in the Antarctic.

Charted by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1950-51) and named for Lieutenant Fernando Ferrer Fougá hydrographic officer on the Angamos.
