Red Rock Ridge or Morro Roca Roja or Promontorio Roca Roja is a conspicuous reddish-colored ridge or promontory which rises to 690 m and projects from the west coast of Graham Land between Neny Fjord and Rymill Bay. Red Rock Ridge is located at 68°18′S 67°08′W and has an elevation of 690 m. Red Rock Ridge was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Riddoch Rymill, who so named it because of its color. Further surveys in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) have identified this ridge as the feature first sighted in 1909 and named "Île Pavie" or "Cap Pavie" by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, but the name Red Rock Ridge is now too firmly established to alter. The name Pavie Ridge has been assigned to the prominent rocky ridge at 68°34′S 66°59′W.
Pavie Ridge or Cap Pavie or Île Pavie is a rocky ridge located at 68°34′S 66°59′W in Antarctica which rises over 500 m. It extends south and west from Martin Glacier to Moraine Cove, and forms the southeastern limit of the Bertrand Ice Piedmont, on the west coast of Graham Land.
Zonda Towers is an east-west trending rock ridge, 4 miles (6 km) long, between Zonda Glacier and Eureka Glacier on the Rymill Coast, Palmer Land. The eastern section of the ridge rises to 825 m and is notable for four rock towers. The feature was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1966, and was surveyed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1971-72.

Church Glacier is a tributary glacier, 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, flowing southward along the west side of nearby Church Ridge to enter Leander Glacier northwest of Shadow Bluff, in the Admiralty Mountains, a major mountain range situated in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Brooks D. Church, a laboratory management technician at McMurdo Station, Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, 1966–67 and 1967–68. The glacier lies on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Offset Ridge is a ridge extending west from Triton Point lying between Venus Glacier and Neptune Glacier in eastern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The ridge was mapped by Directorate of Overseas Surveys from satellite imagery by U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in cooperation with U.S. Geological Survey. The ridge is kinked in the middle and is effectively formed of two ridges offset from one another; thus, the descriptive name applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC).
Natal Ridge is a prominent snow-free terraced ridge forming part of the north boundary of the Two Step Cliffs massif located in the southeast portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1993 in recognition of the geomorphological and biological surveys conducted by scientists from the University of Natal in the Mars Glacier party.
Waitt Peaks is a cluster of pointed peaks, mostly snow-covered, at the southwest end of a large horseshoe-shaped ridge. Located 4 nautical miles (7 km) northwest of Schirmacher Massif in the east part of Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for geologist Richard B. Waitt, a member of the USGS geological and mapping party to the Lassiter Coast, 1972-73.
Trajer Ridge is a rock ridge about 125 m high at the south side of the base of Breidnes Peninsula, Vestfold Hills. The region was photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), ANARE and the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956). Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for F.L. Trajer, weather observer at Davis Station (1961) who, with M. Hay, visited the feature on foot on November 4, 1961.
Franca Glacier named after Dr. Fernando E. Franca, is a glacier in Antarctica, flowing northeast into the head of Solberg Inlet, Bowman Coast, to the south of Houser Peak. The glacier was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service, 1940, and the U.S. Navy, 1966. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1946–48, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1977 after Dr. Fernando E. Franca, Medical Officer and Station Manager, Palmer Station, 1974.
Mount Granholm is a mountain 2,440 metres (8,000 ft) high, 9 nautical miles (17 km) southeast of Mount Pittard in the northwest part of the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. This topographical feature was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1960–63, and was so named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Nels H. Granholm, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at Hallett Station, during 1967–68. The mountain lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Mount Liotard is a mountain having a conspicuous ice-covered peak, 2,225 metres (7,300 ft) high, standing midway between Mount Gaudry and Mount Ditte in the south part of Adelaide Island, Antarctica. It was discovered and first surveyed by the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition in 1909. It was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Andre F. Liotard, a French observer with the FIDS in 1947–48 and the leader of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1949–51.
Mercury Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, flowing east into George VI Sound between the Waitabit Cliffs and Keystone Cliffs. The glacier was probably first sighted from a distance by Lincoln Ellsworth, who flew near it and photographed segments of this coast on November 23, 1935. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the planet Mercury following rough surveys from George VI Sound by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948 and 1949. The glacier was mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Although Mercury Glacier is not located within the Planet Heights, it is named in association with the heights along with many other nearby glaciers named after planets of the Solar System.
Hurley Glacier is a glacier between Mount Gaudry and Mount Liotard, flowing east into Ryder Bay, Adelaide Island, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after Alec J. Hurley, a British Antarctic Survey mechanic at Halley Station, 1975–76, and Rothera Station, 1976–77.
Horse Bluff is a coastal bluff at the west side of the Tindley Peaks, on the Rymill Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica, overlooking George VI Sound. It was surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey from 1970, and so named from a distinctive feature on the bluff resembling a horse's head.
The Vesta Nunataks is a small group of nunataks rising to about 1,200 m, lying between Grikurov Ridge in the LeMay Range and Aeolus Ridge in Planet Heights, situated near the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica. In association with the names of planets and their satellites in this area, they were named after Vesta, an asteroid that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They were named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1987.
Rubble Glacier is an ice filled valley in the Palmer Land region of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is surrounded by Giza Peak and the ridge connecting it to Baily Ridge to the north and Elephant Ridge to the south. Rubble Glacier is referred to as "Man Pack Glacier" in scientific reports of the early 1960s, but is now descriptively referred to as Rubble Glacier or sometimes as "Louis Glacier".
