The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee maintains a gazetteer for all UK approved names within the British Antarctic Territory (BAT).

The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee also maintains a gazetteer for South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI).

Place-names for the whole of Antarctica are contained within the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica (SCAR-CGA). This is maintained by Ente per le Nuove l'Energia e l'Ambiente (ENEA) and incorporates all names presented by over 20 nations to the SCAR-CGA.

The BAT and SGSSI Gazetteers are updated every 3 months. You can view the latest additions to the gazetteers here.
