'''Tabarin Peninsula''' ({{coor dm|63|32|S|57|0|W|}}) is a [[peninsula]] 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 5 to 12 nautical miles (22 km) wide, lying south of the trough between [[Hope Bay]] and [[Duse Bay]] and forming the east extremity of [[Trinity Peninsula]]. Discovered and charted by the [[Swedish Antarctic Expedition]], 1901-04, under Nordenskjold. It was mapped in 1946 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) and named after [[Operation Tabarin]], the naval code name for the FIDS from 1943 to 1945.

The term "Bay" is obviously a misnomer, but it has been retained because of uniform usage for over fifty years.

'''Mount Takahe''' ({{coor dm|76|17|S|112|5|W|}}) is a large, isolated snow-covered [[mountain]] (an extinct [[volcano]]) standing 40 nautical miles (70 km) southeast of [[Toney Mountain]] in [[Marie Byrd Land]]. It is roughly circular, 18 nautical miles (33 km) across, and rises to 3,400 meters. This mountain was probably among those viewed from a distance by [[Admiral Byrd]] and other members of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS) in plane flights from the ship Bear on February 24 and 25, 1940. It was visited in December 1957 by members of the [[Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party]], 1957-58, who applied the name. "Takahe," the Maori name for a flightless, almost extinct [[New Zealand]] bird, is the nickname of the [[U.S. Navy]] LC-47 aircraft whose crew resupplied the traverse party near this mountain and assisted by providing aerial reconnaissance to locate passable routes.

It contains a series of small lakes near the south margin, which are fed by seasonal meltwater. Named for [[Andrew Teasdale]] (b. 1966), [[British Antarctic Survey Field Assistant]] to Dr. [[J.L.
