Lying off the north-western coast of the European mainland, it includes the island of Great Britain (the name of which is also loosely applied to the whole country), the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign statethe Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to its east, the English Channel to its south and the Celtic Sea to its south-south-west, giving it the 12th-longest coastline in the world. The Irish Sea lies between Great Britain and Ireland. With an area of , the UK is the 78th-largest sovereign state in the world and the 11th-largest in Europe. It is also the 21st-most populous country, with an estimated 65.1 million inhabitants. Together, this makes it the fourth most densely populated country in the European Union. Elephant Island is an ice-covered mountainous island off the coast of Antarctica in the outer reaches of the South Shetland Islands, in the Southern Ocean. Its name was given by early explorers sighting elephant seals on its shores. The island is situated north-northeast of the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, westsouthwest of South Georgia, south of the Falkland Islands, and southeast of Cape Horn. It is within the Antarctic claims of Argentina, Chile and the UK. Brazil has two shelters on the island, Goeldi and Wiltgen, supporting the work of up to six researchers each during the summer. Mount Worsley is a mountain, 1,105 m, on the west side of Briggs Glacier in South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951-57, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Frank Arthur Worsley (18721943), skipper of the "Endurance" on 1914-16 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Worsley accompanied Ernest Shackleton in the "James Caird" from Elephant Island to King Haakon Bay, South Georgia, and made the overland crossing with him to Stromness whaling station. Briggs Glacier ( 54 ° 10  S 37 ° 8  W ) is a glacier between Mount Worsley and The Trident in central South Georgia , flowing northwest into Murray Snowfield . It was charted as a glacier flowing into the head of Possession Bay in 1929 by Lieutenant Commander John M. Chaplin , Royal Navy ( 1888 -- 1977 ) . Chaplin was survey officer aboard RRS Discovery during the Discovery Oceanographic Expedition of 1925 -- 1927 , and was later in charge of a hydrographic survey party in South Georgia , 1928 -- 30 . Briggs Glacier was named for Able Seaman A.C. Briggs , one of the crew of RRS Discovery in 1925 -- 27 and a member of Chaplin 's survey party in 1928 -- 30 . During the South Georgia Survey of 1955 -- 1956 , the complicated area of glaciers and snowfields south of Possession Bay was for the first time surveyed in detail , and Briggs Glacier was re-located . The Royal Navy (RN) is the United Kingdom's naval warfare force. Although warships were used by the English kings from the early medieval period, the first major maritime engagements were fought in the Hundred Years War against the kingdom of France. The modern Royal Navy traces its origins to the early 16th century; the oldest of the UK's armed services, it is known as the Senior Service.
