Abstract
This is a short but intriguing piece on the "humanizing" of the Antarctic landscape by the First Chinese Expedition to Antarctica. Readers are invited to consider what may be learned by contemplating the superimposition of geomantically-loaded names like "Wanglong yan" on a landscape already "humanized" British-style with the names "King George Island," "Nelson Island" and "Drake Passage."
