Frontier Mountain is a large, mainly ice-free mountain, 2,805 metres (9,200 ft) high, situated 20 nautical miles (37 km) south-southeast of Roberts Butte of the Outback Nunataks, Victoria Land, and 11 nautical miles (20 km) west-northwest of the Sequence Hills, near the edge of the featureless, interior ice plateau of Antarctica. It was named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1962–63, because of its geographical location. This mountain lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
The Destination Nunataks are a group of peaks and nunataks, 9 nautical miles (17 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, rising to 2,565 metres (8,415 ft) at Pyramid Peak and including Sphinx Peak, Andrews Peak, Mummy Ridge, and unnamed nunataks to the northwest, located in northeast Evans Neve, 7 nautical miles (13 km) northwest of the Barker Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica. This group was visited in 1970–71 by a Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition geological party led by M.G. Laird. The name "Destination Rocks" was originally used for the feature because these nunataks were near the northern limits of Laird's expedition. The name Destination Nunataks, as approved by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee and the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1985, applies to the entire group described rather than to just two nunataks at the southeast end as indicated on some maps. These nunataks lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.

The geographical feature was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Roger L. Doescher, a former glaciologist who worked at the infamous McMurdo Station, Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, during 1967–68. The Nunatak lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
The Forgotten Hills are a small group of hills 6 nautical miles (11 km) southeast of the Intention Nunataks, at the west side of the head of Astronaut Glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica. They were named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1966–67, because none of the three parties that had visited the area had time to examine these hills. These hills lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Metzgar Nunatak is a nunatak rising to about 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Tollefson Nunatak in the Yee Nunataks, Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1961–68, and from Landsat imagery taken 1973–74. It was named in 1987 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after USGS cartographer John M. Metzgar, Jr., a member of the USGS satellite surveying team at South Pole Station, winter party 1978.
The McDonough Nunataks are a small group of isolated rock nunataks at the southern margin of the Queen Maud Mountains, Antarctica, rising above the ice plateau 5 nautical miles (9 km) west of Mount Rosenwald. They were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John W. McDonough, a United States Antarctic Research Program ionospheric physicist at the South Pole Station, 1962.
McLea Nunatak is a nunatak between Richards Nunatak and Sharks Tooth, in the Prince Albert Mountains of Oates Land, Antarctica.

Tomovick, U.S. Navy, utilitiesman at South Pole Station in 1966.
Luff Nunatak is a narrow nunatak, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, located west of Foster Nunatak in the Manning Nunataks of Antarctica, in the eastern part of the Amery Ice Shelf. The Manning Nunataks were photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) (1957). They were visited by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1965 and ANARE in 1969. The nunatak was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for T.S. Luff, a senior diesel mechanic at Mawson Station in 1970, and a member of the ANARE glaciological traverse party on the Amery Ice Shelf in January 1970.
Luhrsen Nunatak is a nunatak 3 nautical miles (6 km) south-southeast of Mount Alford at the southeast end of the Helliwell Hills, Antarctica.
