Editing Signy Island (section)

=== East coast ===
The first prominent feature on the east coast is Stygian Cove, named by FIDS because it is so overshadowed by the cliffs of [[Robin Peak]] that a sense of [[Styx|stygian]] gloom is felt.<ref name="gnis-STYC">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=14736|name=Stygian Cove|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> Immediately to the east is Berry Head, named by DI personnel, which divides Stygian Cove from Tern Cove.<ref name="gnis-BH">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=1302|name=Berry Head|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> The entrance of Tern Cove is blocked by submerged rocks. The cove contains three small islands, and an area near the head dries at low water. It was named by FIDS for the colony of [[Antarctic tern]]s on the southernmost island in the cove.<ref name="gnis-TC">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=15128|name=Tern Cove|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> {{Cvt|0.3|nmi|km|1|abbr=}} inland to the south of Berry Head is The Wallows, a low-lying area sheltered by low ridges with a small freshwater pond in the center. It was named by FIDS because moulting [[elephant seal]]s wallow here in the summer.<ref name="gnis-TW">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=16233|name=The Wallows|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref>

To the south of that is Rootes Point, named by UK-APC after [[David M. Rootes]] of the BAS, which marks the north entrance of Starfish Cove.<ref name="gnis-ROOP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=12883|name=Rootes Point|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref>
Starfish Cove was roughly surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel and named by FIDS because of the large number of [[starfish]] in the cove.<ref name="gnis-STAC">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=14488|name=Starfish Cove|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> About {{cvt|0.3|nmi|km|1}} off the mouth of the cove is a small submerged rock called Powell Rock, first charted by Captain Sorlle and named after his whale catcher ''Powell''.<ref name=gnis-PR>{{cite gnis | type = antarid | id= 11320 | name=Pandemonium Point | access-date=2020-05-05 | links=off}}</ref>

South of Starfish Cove is [[Borge Bay]], a large, irregularly-shaped [[bay]] that dominates the east side of Signy Island, delineated by Balin Point to the north and Berntsen Point to the south.<ref name="gnis-BB">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=1682|name=Borge Bay|access-date=2020-05-04|links=off}}</ref>

{{Cvt|0.5|nmi|km|1|abbr=}} south of Borge Bay is Paal Harbour. The name first appears on a map by captain Sorlle.<ref name="gnis-PH">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=11257|name=Paal Harbour|access-date=2020-05-04|links=off}}</ref> The harbor and its constituent features were first surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel and resurveyed in 1947 by FIDS.<ref name="gnis-PH" /><ref name="gnis-OB">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=10981|name=Observation Bluff|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref><ref name="gnis-RETP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=12547|name=Rethval Point|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> Observation Bluff, {{Cvt|110|m||abbr=}} high, forms the north side of Paal Harbor. It was named by FIDS because they made daily observations from it.<ref name="gnis-OB" /> The bluff comes to a point called Polynesia Point, named by UK-APC after the [[factory ship]] ''Polynesia.''<ref name="gnis-POLP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=11936|name=Polynesia Point|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> Pinder Gully, named by UK-APC for meteorologist Ronald Pinder, runs into the sea from the bluff.<ref name="gnis-PG">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|name=Pinder Gully|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off|id=11785}}</ref> On the west side of the harbor is Rusty Bluff, a prominent cliff rising {{cvt|225|m}} to a rounded summit, named for its color and a rusted iron post found on the summit by FIDS. Ice-free Rethval Point, named by UK-APC after the [[Rethval Whaling Company]] of [[Oslo]], the first company to start whaling in the South Orkney Islands, forms the south side of the entrance to Paal Harbour.<ref name="gnis-RETP" />

To the south sits Caloplaca Cove, named by UK-APC after the abundant orange lichens of the genus ''[[Caloplaca]]'', which encrust the sea cliffs around the cove.<ref name="gnis-CC">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=2314|name=Caloplaca Cove|access-date=2020-05-04|links=off}}</ref> The south entrance of the cove is marked by Pantomime Point, on Gourlay Peninsula.<ref name="gnis-CC" />

Gourlay Peninsula is an irregularly-shaped ice-free [[peninsula]], which is {{convert|0.1|nmi|km|1}} wide at its base and widens to {{convert|0.4|nmi|km|1}}, forming the southeastern extremity of Signy Island. The seaward end of the peninsula divides into three arms. It was surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel, and resurveyed in 1947 by FIDS.<ref name="gnis-GP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=5897|name=Gourlay Peninsula|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> Pantomime Point is the northernmost of the three points, and Pageant Point is the central and highest of the three points. Both were named by FIDS for behavior observed in the penguin rookeries on the peninsula.<ref name="gnis-PANP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=11330|name=Pantomime Point|access-date=2020-05-04|links=off}}</ref><ref name="gnis-PAGP">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=11266|name=Pageant Point|access-date=2020-05-04|links=off}}</ref> The cove between Pantomime and Pageant Points is named Filer Haven, named by UK-APC for John Filer, a [[British Antarctic Survey]] biologist who fell to his death from the cliffs here in 1961.<ref name="gnis-FH">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=4901|name=Filer Haven|access-date=2020-05-05|links=off}}</ref> The third point is Gourlay Point, named by DI personnel after engineer Ronald George Gourlay; the peninsula as a whole was named by UK-APC for the point.<ref name="gnis-GPOI">{{cite gnis|type=antarid|id=5898|name=Gourlay Point|access-date=2020-05-04|links=off}}</ref>
