'''Bowers Mountains''' ({{coor dm|71|10|S|163|15|E|}}) is a group of north-south trending mountains, about 90 nautical miles (170 km) long and 35 nautical miles (60 km) wide, bounded by the coast on the north and by the Rennick, Canham, Black and [[Lillie Glaciers]] in other quadrants. The seaward end was first sighted in February 1911 from the [[Terra Nova]], under Lieutenant [[Harry L.L. Pennell]], [[Royal Navy]], and subsequently named "[[Bowers Hills]]." Lieutenant [[Henry R. Bowers]] perished with Captain [[Robert F. Scott]] on the return from the [[South Pole]] in 1912. The feature was photographed from [[U.S. Navy]] aircraft in 1946-47 and 1960-62, and was surveyed and mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) in 1962-63. The name was amended to Bowers Mountains upon USGS mapping which showed the group to be a major one with peaks rising to nearly 2,600 meters.

'''Breakwater Rocks''' ({{coor dm|54|12|S|36|35|W|}}) is a group of rocks extending across the south part of the entrance to [[Boat Harbor]] in [[Jason Harbor]], [[South Georgia]]. The name "[[The Breakwater]]" was probably given by Lieutenant Commander [[J.M. Chaplin]], [[Royal Navy]], during his survey of Jason Harbor in 1929. The SGS, 1956-57, reported that the name is misleading; the rocks are not in a continuous straight line forming a natural breakwater, but are in a group. The name was therefore altered to Breakwater Rocks by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1957.

'''Breakwind Ridge''' ({{coor dm|54|9|S|36|50|W|}}) is a prominent rocky ridge which is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long in a north-south direction and rises to 860 m, close southwest of the head of [[Fortuna Bay]] on the north coast of [[South Georgia]]. The name [[Breakwind Range]] was probably applied by DI personnel who mapped Fortuna Bay in 1929-30. Following a resurvey by the SGS, 1951-52, the descriptive term was altered to ridge, which is more suitable for this relatively small feature. The name suggests a beneficial function of this ridge in protecting anchorages at Fortuna Bay from violent southwest and westerly winds.
