It was charted from air photos taken from an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Squadron Leader James C. Kichenside, RAAF, officer commanding the Antarctic Flight at Mawson Station in 1960.
Wilma Glacier is the western of two glaciers entering the southern part of Edward VIII Ice Shelf in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. The second, eastern glacier is Robert Glacier.
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.
Cape Bruce forms the northern tip of a small island lying at the eastern side of Oom Bay, separated from the mainland rocks just west of Taylor Glacier in Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica.
Willey Glacier is a heavily crevassed glacier north of Creswick Peaks in Palmer Land, flowing west from Creswick Gap into George VI Sound. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Lawrence E. Willey, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) geologist at Fossil Bluff and Stonington Island stations, 1966–69 and 1973, and awarded the Polar Medal for services to Antarctic Survey in 1976.
Wilson Glacier is a glacier 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, flowing northeast into Edward VIII Ice Shelf just south of Seaton Glacier. Photographed from ANARE aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Flight Lieutenant H.O. Wilson, RAAF pilot at Mawson Station, 1959, who was killed in an aircraft accident shortly after his return to Australia.
Wirdnam Glacier is a glacier which drains the west slopes of the Royal Society Range between Mounts Moxley and Lisicky and flows west into Skelton Glacier. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and air photos, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Squadron Leader K.A.C. Wirdnam, a RAF pilot stationed at McMurdo Station in 1960 as an observer, who also flew missions for U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6.
The Amery Peaks are a group of peaks which extend for about 18 nautical miles (33 km) along the southeast side of Nemesis Glacier, in the eastern Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. They were discovered by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party of 1956–57 and so named because of their proximity to the Amery Ice Shelf.
Barnes Glacier is a glacier on the west side of Hemimont Plateau flowing west into Blind Bay on the west coast of Graham Land. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1958 for Howard T. Barnes, Canadian physicist and pioneer of ice engineering.
Mount Borland is a large, gently-domed mountain, standing 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Mount Twigg near the head of Lambert Glacier. It was sighted by Flying Officer J. Seaton, RAAF, during an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions photographic flight in November 1956, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for R.A. Borland, a meteorologist at Mawson Station in 1958.
Charybdis Glacier is a large glacier which drains northeast between the Porthos Range and the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains to the west side of the Amery Ice Shelf. It was discovered by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party led by W.G. Bewsher in December 1956 and named after whirpool monster Charybdis because of the considerable difficulty experienced in traversing this region due to the glacier.
Conchie Glacier is a glacier on the west coast of Palmer Land which flows southwest into George VI Sound between the Batterbee Mountains and the Steeple Peaks. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Flight-Lieutenant Bertie J. Conchie, Royal Air Force, pilot with the British Antarctic Survey, 1969–75.
Norman Glacier is a glacier, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, flowing southwest from Palmer Land to enter George VI Sound just north of Bushell Bluff, in Antarctica. It was named, by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), for Shaun M. Norman, the base commander with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) at Stonington Island from 1966 to 1968.
Mount Dyke is a mountain, 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) north of Mount Humble in the northeast part of the Raggatt Mountains. It was plotted from air photos taken by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Flying Officer Graeme Dyke, a Royal Australian Air Force pilot at Mawson Station in 1960.
Hays Glacier is a glacier flowing north into the head of Spooner Bay, Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1956, and was named for J. Hays, a United States observer with the ANARE which made a landing nearby.
Van Reeth Glacier is a tributary glacier about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long, draining westward to Scott Glacier between Mounts Blackburn and Bowlin, in the Queen Maud Mountains. It was discovered in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Commander Eugene W. Van Reeth, a pilot with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 in Antarctica during Operation Deep Freeze 1966, 1967 and 1968, and squadron commander in 1969. Later in his career Commander Van Reeth was promoted to captain, and eventually became the commanding officer of Operation Deep Freeze Task Force 43 in the 1970s.
