Palmer Land is the portion of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica that lies south of a line joining Cape Jeremy and Cape Agassiz. This application of Palmer Land is consistent with the 1964 agreement between US-ACAN and UK-APC, in which the name Antarctic Peninsula was approved for the major peninsula of Antarctica, and the names Graham Land and Palmer Land for the northern and southern portions, respectively. The line dividing them is roughly 69 degrees south.
The Prince Charles Mountains are a major group of mountains in Mac. Robertson Land in Antarctica, including the Athos Range, the Porthos Range, and the Aramis Range. The highest peak is Mount Menzies. Other prominent peaks are Mount Izabelle and Mount Stinear. These mountains together with other scattered peaks form an arc about 260 miles long, extending from the vicinity of Mount Starlight in the north to Goodspeed Nunataks in the south.
The Grove Mountains are a large, scattered group of mountains and nunataks extending over an area of approximately 40 by 20 miles, located 100 miles (160 km) east of the Mawson Escarpment in American Highland, Antarctica. They were first photographed from the air by aircraft of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Squadron Leader I.L. Grove, a Royal Australian Air Force pilot with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, who made a November 1958 landing in these mountains.
The Scott Mountains are a large number of isolated peaks lying south of Amundsen Bay in Enderby Land of East Antarctica, Antarctica. Discovered on 13 January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Sir Douglas Mawson. He named the feature Scott Range after Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Royal Navy. The term mountains is considered more appropriate because of the isolation of its individual features.
Outback Nunataks is a series of bare rock nunataks and mountains which are distributed over an area about 40 miles (60 km) long by 20 miles (32 km) wide. The group lies south of Emlen Peaks of the Usarp Mountains and west of Monument Nunataks and upper Rennick Glacier, adjacent to the featureless interior plateau. They were discovered by the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse party, 1959–60, and mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-64. They were so named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for their remote position at the posterior side of the large mountain belt that extends from the Ross Sea to the interior ice plateau.
Symes Nunatak is a nunatak near the middle of Evans Neve in Victoria Land, situated 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Mount Staley. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) in 1983 after J. Symes, geological assistant in R.A. Cooper's New Zealand Antarctic Research Program (NZARP) geological field party to the area, 1974-75.
The Jago Nunataks are a cluster of closely spaced nunataks rising to 2,300 metres (7,500 ft), centred 3 miles (5 km) east of the south end of Neall Massif in the Concord Mountains of Antarctica. They were named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1983 after J.B. Jago, a geologist with the New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme geological parties to this area in 1974–75 and 1980–81. These topographical Nunataks lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
The American Highland is the portion of Antarctica back of the Ingrid Christensen Coast and eastward of Lambert Glacier, consisting of an upland snow surface at 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) except for a group of nunataks near 75°E. The area was discovered and named by Lincoln Ellsworth on January 11, 1939, in an aerial flight from his ship, and by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, the latter group making a landing to obtain an astrofix at Grove Mountains, 1958.
Borchgrevinkisen is a glacier flowing northward to the west of Taggen Nunatak, at the west end of the Sør Rondane Mountains. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named for Carsten E. Borchgrevink, Norwegian leader of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900.
Olander Nunatak is one of several somewhat scattered nunataks which rise above the ice of eastern Palmer Land, lying 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of Tollefson Nunatak and 27 nautical miles (50 km) north-northwest of Sky-Hi Nunataks. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for R.E. Olander, electronics technician at Eights Station in 1963.
Cooke Peak is a somewhat elongated mountain surmounted by a central peak, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) northwest of the Bode Nunataks in the Grove Mountains. It was mapped from air photos, 1956–60, by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for D.J. Cooke, a cosmic ray physicist at Mawson Station, 1963.
New Year Nunatak * is a nunatak in the central part of the Manning Nunataks in the southeast part of Amery Ice Shelf. Plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in 1957. So named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) because the nunatak was visited by a geological party of the Soviet Antarctic Expedition on New Year's Day of 1966.
Ward Nunataks is a linear group of nunataks 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Alderdice Peak in the eastern part of Nye Mountains, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for D.J. Ward, radio officer at Wilkes Station in 1960.
The Freyberg Mountains are a group of mountains in Victoria Land, Antarctica, bounded by Rennick Glacier, Bowers Mountains, Black Glacier, and Evans Neve. Named for New Zealand's most famous General, Lord Bernard Freyberg, by the Northern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963-64. This mountain group includes the Alamein Range. These topographical features all lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Truman Nunatak is a small, partly snow-covered nunatak 7.5 nautical miles (14 km) north of Mount Harding in the Grove Mountains. Mapped by ANARE from air photos, 1956-60. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for M.J. Truman, electrical fitter at Mawson Station, 1962.
Polarforschung Glacier is a heavily crevassed glacier flowing northward along the west side of Meknattane Nunataks to Publications Ice Shelf. Vestknatten Nunatak lies within the mouth of the glacier. Delineated in 1952 by John H. Roscoe from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), and named by him after the journal Polarforschung, issued in Kiel.
Ely Nunatak is a small, dark-colored nunatak 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Mount Izabelle in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. The position of the nunatak was fixed by intersection from geodetic survey stations in 1971. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Ely, a Technical Officer (survey) with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1971.
Mount Monique is a mountain, about 600 m high, with a prominent rocky north face and ice-covered south slopes, at the western end of the Marion Nunataks on the north coast of Charcot Island in the east Bellinghausen Sea of Antarctica.
Moody Nunatak is a prominent isolated nunatak at the east side of Marsh Glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Bartrum Plateau, in the Queen Elizabeth Range of Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition of 1964–65 for Lieutenant D.M. Moody, a pilot with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, who flew the southern party of the expedition in and out of the field.
