“ Names of persons who have made outstanding discoveries in Antarctica or, through their work with Antarctic expeditions, have made outstanding contributions to scientific knowledge or to the techniques of Antarctic exploration ”

“ Are based on established practices in Antarctic place naming, and incorporate elaborations of the SCAR Work Programme on Antarctic place names.
2. General principles
A geographical name primarily serves to distinguish the feature from all others; it should be unique in Antarctica.
The principal purpose of a name is to supply effective and appropriate means of identifying the feature beyond doubt; commemoration of persons or events is a secondary consideration. ”
