| Description | In Antarctica geographical names are important elements of identification, orientation, localization and navigation,
providing an essential reference system for logistic operations, including search and rescue measures, and for
international scientific research. They facilitate information exchange in the field, in scientific publications and in
administrative measures under the Antarctic Treaty System. Geographical names also reflect the history of Antarctic
exploration.
