Cervantes Point
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (; 29 September 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616 NS) was an Early Modern Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists. He is best known for his novel '' Don Quixote'', a work often cited as both the first modern novel and one of the pinnacles of world literature. Much of his life was spent in poverty and obscurity, which led to many of his early works being lost. Despite this, his influence and literary contribution are reflected by the fact that Spanish is often referred to as "the language of Cervantes". In 1569, Cervantes was forced to leave Spain and move to Rome, where he worked in the household of a cardinal. In 1570, he enlisted in a Spanish Navy infantry regiment, and was badly wounded at the Battle of Lepanto in October 1571. He served as a soldier until 1575, when he was captured by Barbary pirates; after five years in captivity, he was ransomed, and ret ...

Solvay Mountains
The Solvay Mountains are a mountain range that rises to 1590 m (Cook Summit) and extends in an ENE–WSW direction in the south part of Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. They were discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897–99, under Adrien de Gerlache, and named by him for Ernest-John Solvay (1895-1972), the recently-born grandson of Ernest Solvay, who sponsored the expedition. The name originally extended along the entire east coast of the island but has been limited to the prominent mountains in the south, while the principal group of mountains farther north was subsequently named Stribog Mountains, separated from Solvay Mountains by Aluzore Gap. Mountains Mount Aciar (), variously known also as ''Monte Ferrer'', ''Mount Ehrlich'', ''Monte E'', and ''Monte Primer Teniente Aciar'', rises to between the heads of Rush Glacier Rush Glacier () is a glacier in Antarctica.

Jenner Glacier
Jenner Glacier () is a glacier long flowing southwest from the Solvay Mountains between Paprat Peak and Kondolov Peak into the eastern arm of Duperré Bay, in the southern part of Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. The glacier was shown on an Argentine government chart in 1953, but not named. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and mapped from these photos in 1959, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Edward Jenner, an English physician who was a pioneer of preventive medicine, and who instituted the use of cowpox vaccine in smallpox vaccination.
