'''Committee Bay''' ({{coor dm|54|1|S|37|19|W|}}) is a small, [[bay]]-like body of water near the center of the Bay of Isles, [[South Georgia]], whose limits are formed by the semi-circular arrangement of [[Crescent Island]], [[Invisible Island]], [[Hogs Mouth Rocks]] and [[Albatross Island]].

'''Contact Point''' ({{coor dm|63|23|S|56|59|W|}}) is a small rock point close west of [[Sheppard Point]] on the north side of [[Hope Bay]], [[Trinity Peninsula]]. The feature was first charted as an [[island]] by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, but was surveyed by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1955 and proved to be a point. So named by FIDS because greywacke, tuff and diorite were found to be exposed on or very close to this point. Such contacts had not previously been recorded and they were important for the interpretation of the geology of [[Tabarin Peninsula]].

'''Contortion Spur''' ({{coor dm|80|25|S|160|9|E|}}) is the largest and easternmost of three spurs which descend north from [[Mount Madison]] near the mouth of [[Byrd Glacier]].

'''Coral Ridge''' ({{coor dm|77|35|S|163|25|E|}}) is a ridge trending north-south, transverse to the axis of [[Taylor Valley]], [[Victoria Land]], forming a divide 100 m above sea level between [[Lake Fryxell]] and [[Explorers Cove]], [[McMurdo Sound]].

'''Crabeater Point''' ({{coor dm|68|46|S|64|10|W|}}) is a point at the southeast extremity of [[Mobiloil Inlet]], 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of [[Victory Nunatak]], on the east coast of [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. The point, the northwest extremity of a prominent ridge, was photographed from aircraft of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) on [[September 28]], [[1940]], and by [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE) (Trimetrogon air photos), [[December 22]], [[1947]]. Surveyed in December 1958 by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) who gave the descriptive name. The ridge of which this point is the extremity resembles a recumbent [[Crabeater Seal]] when seen from the air.
