Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (ACAN or US-ACAN) is an advisory committee of the United States Board on Geographic Names responsible for recommending commemorative names for features in Antarctica.

Antarctic Treaty System
The Antarctic Treaty and related agreements, collectively known as the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), regulate international relations with respect to Antarctica, Earth's only continent without a native human population.

Antarctica
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost and least-populated continent.

Basalt
Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.

Brown Peninsula
Brown Peninsula is a nearly ice-free peninsula, long and wide, which rises above the Ross Ice Shelf northward of Mount Discovery, to which it is connected by a low isthmus.

Discovery Expedition
The Discovery Expedition of 1901–1904, known officially as the British National Antarctic Expedition, was the first official British exploration of the Antarctic regions since the voyage of James Clark Ross sixty years earlier (1839–1843).

Geological formation
A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

K–Ar dating
Potassium–argon dating, abbreviated K–Ar dating, is a radiometric dating method used in geochronology and archaeology.

Lava dome
In volcanology, a lava dome is a circular, mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano.

Minna Bluff
Minna Bluff is a narrow, bold peninsula, long and wide, projecting southeast from Mount Discovery into the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica.

Ross Archipelago
Ross Archipelago is a name for that group of islands which, together with the ice shelf between them, forms the eastern and southern boundaries of McMurdo Sound in Antarctica.

Ross Ice Shelf
The Ross Ice Shelf is the largest ice shelf of Antarctica (an area of roughly and about across: about the size of France).

Ski-Doo
Ski-Doo is a brand name of snowmobile manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products (originally Bombardier Inc. before the spin-off).

Thomas Vere Hodgson
Thomas Vere Hodgson (1864–1926) was a biologist aboard H.M.S. ''Discovery'' during the ''Discovery'' Expedition of 1901–1904, known by the nickname Muggins.

Trachyte
Trachyte is an extrusive igneous rock composed mostly of alkali feldspar.

United States Antarctic Program
The United States Antarctic Program (or USAP; formerly known as the United States Antarctic Research Program or USARP and the United States Antarctic Service or USAS) is an organization of the United States government which has a presence in the Antarctica continent.

Volcanic cone
Volcanic cones are among the simplest volcanic landforms.
See Black Island (Ross Archipelago) and Volcanic cone
Volcanic rock
Volcanic rocks (often shortened to volcanics in scientific contexts) are rocks formed from lava erupted from a volcano.

White Island (Ross Archipelago)
White Island is an island in the Ross Archipelago of Antarctica.
