The Hauberg Mountains are a group of mountains of about 35 nautical miles extent, located 12 nautical miles north of Cape Zumberge and 30 nautical miles south of the Sweeney Mountains in eastern Ellsworth Land, Antarctica.
The Getz Ice Shelf is an ice shelf over 300 nautical miles long and from 20 to 60 nautical miles wide, bordering the Hobbs Coast and Bakutis Coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica, between the McDonald Heights and Martin Peninsula. Several large islands are partially or wholly embedded in the ice shelf.
The Bermel Peninsula is a rugged, mountainous peninsula, approximately 15 nautical miles long and 7 nautical miles ) wide, between Solberg Inlet and Mobiloil Inlet on the Bowman Coast, Graham Land, Antarctica. The feature rises to 1,670 metres (5,480 ft) in Bowditch Crests and includes Yule Peak, Mount Wilson, Campbell Crest, Vesconte Point, Wilson Pass, Rock Pile Peaks, Miyoda Cliff, and Rock Pile Point.
Gardner Inlet is a large, ice-filled inlet at the southwest side of Bowman Peninsula, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
The Hollick-Kenyon Peninsula(68°35′S63°50′W) is an ice-covered spur from the main mountain mass of the Antarctic Peninsula. It projects over 40 nautical miles in a northeasterly arc from its base between Mobiloil Inlet and Casey Inlet.
Shackleton Coast is that portion of the coast along the west side of the Ross Ice Shelf between Cape Selborne and Airdrop Peak at the east side of Beardmore Glacier in Antarctica. Named by New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) in 1961 after Sir Ernest Shackleton. He accompanied Scott on the southern journey during the Discovery expedition (1901–04) and subsequently led three Antarctic expeditions. On the British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09), Shackleton discovered the area beyond Shackleton Inlet to the Beardmore Glacier, and was the first to find a practicable route to the South Pole. Lack of food stopped him 97 miles (180 km) from his goal.
Wright Peninsula is a peninsula on the east coast of Adelaide Island, Antarctica, lying between Stonehouse Bay to the north and Ryder Bay to the south. On its northern coastline the peninsula is fringed by the Stokes Peaks; on its southern side by the Reptile Ridge. The Princess Royal Range separates the peninsula from the rest of Adelaide Island; the only 'gap' is provided by McCallum Pass.
Barnett Glacier is a large glacier in the Anare Mountains that flows east along the south side of Tapsell Foreland into Smith Inlet, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica.
Beascochea Bay is a bay, 10 nautical miles (19 km) long and 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, indenting the Graham Coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, between Kyiv Peninsula and Barison Peninsula, and entered south of Cape Perez. The glaciers Lever, Funk, Cadman, Talev and Butamya feed the bay.
The borders of the oceans are the limits of Earth's oceanic waters. The definition and number of oceans can vary depending on the adopted criteria. The principal divisions of the five oceans are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern (Antarctic) Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. Smaller regions of the oceans are called seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and other terms. Geologically, an ocean is an area of oceanic crust covered by water.
Kyiv Peninsula is the predominantly ice-covered, oval shaped peninsula projecting 35 km in northwest direction from the west side of Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula. It is bounded by Flandres Bay to the northeast and Beascochea Bay to the southwest, and separated from Wilhelm Archipelago to the northwest by Lemaire Channel and Penola Strait. The peninsula's north extremity Cape Renard divides Graham Coast to the southwest from Danco Coast to the northeast. Mount Tranchant and Mount Demaria are found on the west coast of the peninsula.
Graham Coast is the portion of the west coast of Graham Land in Antarctic Peninsula, extending 172 km between Cape Bellue to the southwest and Cape Renard to the northeast.
Bowman Inlet is an ice-filled inlet between Kay Nunatak and Platt Point on the Hollick-Kenyon Peninsula, on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Casey Inlet is an ice-filled inlet at the terminus of Casey Glacier, between Miller Point and Cape Walcott, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Joerg Peninsula is a rugged, mountainous peninsula, 22 nautical miles (41 km) long in a northeast–southwest direction and from 3 to 10 nautical miles wide, lying between Trail Inlet and Solberg Inlet on the Bowman Coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. Its tip is indented by Hondius Inlet. The peninsula lies in the area explored from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins in 1928 and Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, and its south coast was mapped by W.L.G. Joerg from air photographs taken by Ellsworth. It was further mapped and photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service in 1940, and was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947. The peninsula was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after W.L.G. Joerg (1885–1952), who was an American geographer, polar cartographer, and archivist, and who made important contributions to Antarctic cartography, nomenclature and history. Joerg was Chairman of the United States Board on Geographic Names Special Committee on Antarctic Names, 1943–47, and was a member of the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, 1947–52.
Mobiloil Inlet is an ice-filled inlet, nurtured by several northeast and east flowing glaciers, lying between the Rock Pile Peaks and Hollick-Kenyon Peninsula along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Hoek Glacier is a glacier flowing into Dimitrov Cove northeast of Veshka Point on the northwest coast of Velingrad Peninsula on Graham Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica, southward of the Llanquihue Islands. It was charted by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Henry W. Hoek (1878–1951), a pioneer Swiss ski-mountaineer and author of one of the earliest skiing manuals.
Stefansson Strait is an ice-filled strait 35 nautical miles long and 3 to 10 nautical miles wide, between the east coast of Palmer Land and Hearst Island, Antarctica.
Robb Glacier is a glacier about 40 nautical miles (70 km) long that flows through the Ross Dependency to enter the west coast of the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
Delisle Inlet is the 8.4 km wide ice-filled inlet indenting for 12.7 km the southeast side of Kenyon Peninsula, Wilkins Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula. It is entered southwest of Cape Keeler and northeast of Cape Mayo.
