What is the person whom a cove in Antarctica cove is named for?
Langmuir Cove Langmuir Cove ( ) is a cove in the north end of Arrowsmith Peninsula, Graham Land, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Irving Langmuir, an American physicist who studied the formation of snow.
Matha Strait Matha Strait is a strait lying between Adelaide Island and the south end of the Biscoe Islands. The strait takes its name from "Matha Bay", the name originally applied by Jean-Baptiste Charcot, leader of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, to the water feature as he conceived it. The British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, recognizing that it is really a strait rather than a bay, changed the name to Matha Strait. The name is for Lieutenant A. Matha, second-in-command of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, also under Charcot.
