'''Castle Rock''' ({{coor dm|77|48|S|166|46|E|}}) is a bold rock crag, 415 m, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of [[Hut Point]] on the central ridge of [[Hut Point Peninsula]], [[Ross Island]]. Discovered by the ''Discovery'' expedition (1901-04) under Scott, who so named it because of its shape.

'''Castor Nunatak''' ({{coor dm|65|10|S|59|55|W|}}) is a [[nunatak]] 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of [[Oceana Nunatak]] in the [[Seal Nunataks]] group, off the east coast of [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. First seen and mapped as an [[island]] in December 1893 by a [[Norwegian Sealing]] expedition under [[C.A. Larsen]], who named it after the coast of Antarctic Peninsula under Captain [[Morten Pedersen]] in 1893-94. The feature was determined to be a nunatak in 1902 by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]] under Nordenskjold.

'''Castor Rock''' ({{coor dm|57|7|S|26|47|W|}}) is the northern of a pair of large off-lying rocks south of [[Vindication Island]], [[South Sandwich Islands]]. This rock, with its neighbor [[Pollux Rock]], was named "Castor and Pollux" during the survey of these islands from RRS [[Discovery II]] in 1930. In 1971 [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) recommended that they be assigned unambiguous names making each individually identifiable, and this has been done by naming the northern one Castor Rock and the southern one Pollux Rock.

'''Cecilia Island''' ({{coor dm|62|25|S|59|43|W|}}) is the southernmost of the [[Aitcho Islands]], lying in [[English Strait]] in the [[South Shetland Islands]]. The name [[Cecilias Straits]] was applied to English Strait by [[Captain Davis]] of the American sealer Huron of [[New Haven]], CT, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-22, after the shallop Cecilia tender to the Huron. Since English Strait is firmly established, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1961 applied the name Cecilia to this conspicuous feature in order to preserve the American name in the area.

'''Chapman Snowfield''' ({{coor dm|81|30|S|157|20|E|}}) is a large snowfield lying west of the central ridge in [[Churchill Mountains]], bounded to the north by [[Elder Peak]] and the massif surmounted by [[Mount Wharton]], to the south by [[Sosa Icefalls]] and the head of [[Starshot Glacier]], and to the west by [[Wallabies Nunataks]] and [[All-Blacks Nunataks]]. Named after [[William H. Chapman]], topographic engineer, [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS), leader of the 1961-62 [[Topo North-Topo South]] survey of mountains west of [[Ross Sea]] from [[Cape Roget]], [[Adare Peninsula]], to [[Otway Massif]] at the head of [[Beardmore Glacier]], a traverse totalling 1570 miles. This first helicopter-supported traverse with EDM electronic-distant-measuring instruments resulted in the establishment of ground control making possible the mapping of a 100,000-square-mile area of the [[Transantarctic Mountains]].

'''Dome Charlie''' ({{coor dm|75|0|S|125|0|E|}}) is an [[ice cap|ice dome]] rising to more than 3,200 m in the featureless snow plateau of [[Wilkes Land]], [[East Antarctica]]. Called "Dome C," the feature was the site of ice core drilling by field teams of several nations in the 1970's. Simultaneously, it was called Dome Charlie (communications code word for letter C) by [[U.S. Naval Support Force]], Antarctica, and its Squadron VXE-6, which provided logistical support to the field teams and, in January and November 1975, suffered severe damage to three LC-130 Hercules aircraft during attempted takeoffs from the surface of this feature. ([[In November]] 1975 and November 1976, the [[U.S. Navy]] established field camps on Dome Charlie to recover the aircraft. Following major structural repairs and replacement of engines in the field, the three LC-130's were flown to [[McMurdo Station]] on [[December 26]], [[1975]], [[January 14]], [[1976]], and [[December 25]], [[1976]].) In deciding the name, the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) considered Dome Charlie to be superior to the informal name, "Dome C," and that it has precedence over "[[Dome Circe]]," a name suggested from Greek mythology by members of the [[Scott Polar Research Institute]] (SPRI) airborne radio echo sounding team in 1982.

'''Cheapman Bay''' ({{coor dm|54|9|S|37|31|W|}}) is a [[bay]] 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, indenting the south coast of [[South Georgia]] close west of [[King Haakon Bay]]. The name [[Cheapman Strand]] was given to a feature in this vicinity by an American sealing expedition which visited South Georgia in 1877-78. The name was recorded as [[Chapman Strand]] and applied to this bay by Matthews in 1931. "Langestrand" (long beach) has been used locally for the beach at the head of the bay and appeared for the bay itself on a [[British Admiralty]] chart of 1931. However, the SGS, 1951-52, reported that "Langestrand" is a descriptive term, not a placename, and is applied by sealers to at least four other beaches in South Georgia. To avoid confusion, the name Cheapman Bay has been approved for this feature and all other names rejected.
