'''Mount Moberly''' ({{coor dm|64|44|S|63|41|W|}}) is a steep-sided, snow-covered [[mountain]], 1,535 m, at the end of the ridge extending southwest from [[Mount Francais]] in the south part of [[Anvers Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]]. It is separated from [[Mount William]] to the south by the col at the head of [[Hooper Glacier]]. In 1832, [[John Biscoe]] named a mountain in this area for Captain [[John Moberly]], [[Royal Navy]], but the mountain was not located by subsequent expeditions. The feature described was identified as Mount Moberly by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) who made surveys in the area in 1944 and 1955.

'''Monroe Island''' ({{coor dm|60|36|S|46|3|W|}}) is a largest of the [[Larsen Islands]], lying off the west end of [[Coronation Island]] in the [[South Orkney Islands]]. The Larsen Islands were discovered by Captain [[George Powell]] and Captain [[Nathaniel Palmer]] in December 1821, but were named on a chart by the Norwegian whaler Captain [[Petter Sorlle]] in 1912-13. They were recharted in 1933 by DI personnel on the [[Discovery II]], who used the name Larsen Islands for the group and named the largest [[island]] [[Larsen Island]]. Because the names were found to be confusing, the island was renamed in 1954 by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) for the sloop [[James Monroe]], which was commanded by [[Captain Palmer]] at the time of discovery and anchored in this vicinity in December 1821.

'''Monroe Point''' ({{coor dm|62|49|S|61|30|W|}}) is a point lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of [[Cape Conway]] on the southwest side of [[Snow Island]], in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. It was named [[Low Point]] by DI personnel on the [[Discovery II]] in 1935, but this name has not since been used. In order to avoid duplication, a new name was applied by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1961. Monroe Point derives from [[Monroe Island]], the name used for Snow Island by sealers in the 1820s.
