Cape Hordern is an ice-free cape, overlain by morainic drift, at the northwest end of the Bunger Hills in Antarctica. It was probably sighted from Watson Bluff by A.L. Kennedy and other members of the Western Base Party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Mawson, 1911–14, who charted the west wall of what appeared to be two small islands lying north of Cape Hoadley in about 100°35′E. It was named "Hordern Island" by Mawson for Sir Samuel Hordern of Sydney, a patron of the expedition. It was renamed Cape Hordern by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) following correlation of Kennedy's map with the US-ACAN map of 1955 compiled from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47.
Weertman Island is the largest and southernmost of the Bennett Islands, lying in Hanusse Bay. It was mapped from air photos taken by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) (1947–48) and Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956–57), and named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Johannes Weertman, American metallurgist who proposed a theory of slip of glaciers on their beds and has made important contributions to the theory of glacier flow.
Irving Island is a small island at the northeastern end of the Barcroft Islands, in the Biscoe Islands, Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Laurence Irving, an American physiologist who has specialized in the effects of a polar environment.
Achernar Island, also known as Utöy, is an island 2.8 kilometres (1.5 nmi) long, lying 1.9 kilometres (1 nmi) west of Shaula Island in the Øygarden Group. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Utoy. The group was first visited by an ANARE party in 1954; the island was renamed by ANCA after the star Achernar, which was used for an astrofix in the vicinity.
Posadowsky Glacier is a glacier about 9 nautical miles long, flowing north to Posadowsky Bay immediately east of Gaussberg. Posadowsky Bay is an open embayment, located just east of the West Ice Shelf and fronting on the Davis Sea in Kaiser Wilhelm II Land. Kaiser Wilhelm II Land is the part of East Antarctica lying between Cape Penck, at 87°43'E, and Cape Filchner, at 91°54'E, and is claimed by Australia as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Other notable geographic features in this area include Drygalski Island, located 45 mi NNE of Cape Filchner in the Davis Sea, and Mirny Station, a Russian scientific research station.
Borg Island is an island 1.9 kilometres (1 nmi) long in the eastern part of the Øygarden Group. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and called by them "Borgoy".
Breitfuss Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, which flows southeast from Avery Plateau into Mill Inlet to the west of Cape Chavanne, on the east coast of Graham Land. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947. It was named by the FIDS for Leonid Breitfuss, a German polar explorer, historian, and author of many polar bibliographies.
Commandant Charcot Glacier is a prominent glacier about 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide and 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, flowing north-northwest from the continental ice to its terminus at the head of Victor Bay. It was delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47. The French Antarctic Expedition, 1950–1952, under Mario Marret sledged west along the coast to Victor Bay, close east of this glacier, in December 1952, and it was named by them for the polar ship Commandant Charcot which transported French expeditions to this area, 1948–1952.
Watson Bluff is a dark bluff 225 m, at the east end of David Island. Discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911–14, under Mawson, and named for Andrew D. Watson, geologist with the expedition.
Coulston Glacier is a small tributary glacier flowing south from the Cartographers Range into Trafalgar Glacier, 10 nautical miles (19 km) west of Bypass Hill, in the Victory Mountains of Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Peter W. Coulston, an aviation electronics technician with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 at McMurdo Station, 1967.
Mount Degerfeldt is a mountain 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) south of Mount Storer, in the Tula Mountains in Enderby Land. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956 and 1957, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Carl Larsson Degerfeldt, a member of the crew of the Discovery during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition of 1929–31.
Dekefjellet Mountain is an elongated mountain, about 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and surmounted by Kamskaya Peak, standing 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) west of Skavlrimen Ridge in the Weyprecht Mountains, Queen Maud Land. The feature is partly rock and partly covered with snow. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. The mountain was replotted from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Dekefjellet.
Graham Peak is a peak about 7 nautical miles (13 km) east of Mount Riiser-Larsen in the northwestern part of the Tula Mountains in Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for N. Graham, a cook at Wilkes Station in 1960.
The Molnar Rocks are insular rocks lying 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of the middle of Lavoisier Island, in the Biscoe Islands of Antarctica. The rocks were mapped from air photos taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956–57, and were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for George W. Molnar, an American physiologist who has specialized in the reactions of the body to cold environments.
The Fowler Islands are a group of small islands lying between the Bernal Islands and the Bragg Islands in Crystal Sound, off the coast of Antarctica. They were mapped from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–48) and the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–57), and from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1958–59). They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Sir Ralph H. Fowler (1889–1944), an English physicist, joint author with J.D. Bernal of a classic paper in 1933 on the structure of ice which suggested the location of the hydrogen atoms now known as the ice rules.
Lowe Glacier is a tributary glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long in the Queen Elizabeth Range, Antarctica. It flows south from a common saddle with the Prince of Wales Glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) east of Mount Gregory to join the Princess Anne Glacier. The name was proposed by the Holyoake, Cobham and Queen Elizabeth Ranges Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1964–65, after D. Lowe, a member of the party.
Scholander Island is an island 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) east of Watkins Island, Biscoe Islands. Mapped from air photos taken by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956–57). Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Per F. Scholander, American physiologist who has investigated many aspects of polar physiology.
Mount Lunde is a mountain ridge close south of Mount Gleadell, in the western part of the Tula Mountains in Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was sighted by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions Amundsen Bay party, under P.W. Crohn in October 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Lunde, a senior diesel mechanic at Wilkes Station in 1960.
