Murchison, Antarctica, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Uganda A number of mountains and rivers in these countries, as well as the Murchison Falls (now the Kabarega Falls) in Uganda, are named after Sir Roderick Murchison (1792–1871), a geologist who was president of the British Royal Geographical Society for fifteen years, twice director of the Geological Society and director‐general of the Geological Survey from 1855. The Falls were discovered and named after Murchison by Samuel (later Sir Samuel) Baker, and his wife Florence, in 1864.
