Fauré Inlet [SEP] continent
Fauré Inlet
Fauré Inlet () is an ice-filled inlet on the south side of the Monteverdi Peninsula and is also the only inlet on the Monteverdi Peninsula, in the south portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was discovered and first charted by Finn Ronne and Carl Eklund of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, 1977, in association with the names of composers grouped in this area, after Gabriel Fauré, the French composer 1845-1924.
Kirwan Inlet
Kirwan Inlet () is an inlet in the southeast corner of Alexander Island, wide at its mouth and indenting , opening on George VI Sound. The inlet is ice filled and merges almost imperceptibly with the rising ice slopes of Alexander Island to the west. It was roughly mapped in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Laurence P. Kirwan, Director and Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society.
