Unique place‐names are essential for scientific fieldwork in Antarctica. This shorter contribution describes how duplication of place‐names in British Antarctic Territory has been avoided by the systematic naming of geographically related features according to groups of associated ideas. One such theme, commemorating pioneers in the development of photogrammetry, recognizes the important contribution of photogrammetry to Antarctic mapping and research.
