In order to be able to refer to areas newly opened up for colonisation, habitation or residential use, names have to be applied to these areas. The same goes for areas that have been recently explored. Arctic and Antarctic exploration show examples of naming the newly discovered seas beneath the land ice, and the mountains and hills beneath the (Ant)Arctic ice caps. We will deal with these examples under the following headings:

D) Naming of seas

E) Giving names to future objects in reclaimed areas

F) Urban street naming

G) Commemorative policies

In the following these aspects will be clarified.
