Jordan Nunatak
Jordan Nunatak () is a nunatak standing between the heads of Rochray Glacier and Cox Glacier in the southwest part of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Joe Jordan of the U.S. Army Aviation Detachment, a helicopter mechanic on the Ellsworth Land Survey in the 1968–69 season.

Hondius Inlet (, ‘Zaliv Hondius’ \'za-liv 'hon-diy\) is the 5.7 km wide ice-filled inlet indenting for 6.7 km the tip of Joerg Peninsula, Bowman Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula southeast of Three Slice Nunatak. Its head is fed by Getman Ice Piedmont.
The feature is named after the Flemish cartographer Jodocus Hondius (Joost de Hondt, 1563-1612) whose 1595 map depicted the southern continent Terra Australis separated from both Tierra del Fuego and New Guinea.
