By viewing an individual entry, you may see multiple references to the same place. SCAR uses a more general feature type coding, so each place will, in general, have multiple feature types.

A small island in the Haswell Islands, lying 0.5 mi SW of Tokarev Island and 1.4 mi NW of Mabus Point. Plotted by G.D. Blodgett (1955) from aerial photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). Photographed by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956) and shown on their map as Ostrov Vkhodnoy (entrance island), presumably because of its location along the ship route to Mabus Point and Mirnyy Station. |
