Wilson Hills is a group of scattered hills, nunataks and ridges that extend NW-SE for about 110 kilometres (68 mi) between Matusevich Glacier and Pryor Glacier in Antarctica. They were discovered by Lieutenant Harry Pennell, Royal Navy, on the Terra Nova Expedition in February 1911 during Robert Falcon Scott's last expedition, and named after Dr. Edward A. Wilson, a zoologist with the expedition, who perished with Scott on the return journey from the South Pole.
Cady Nunatak is a nunatak 3 nautical miles (6 km) east of Mount Zeigler in the northeast part of the Allegheny Mountains, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land. The nunatak was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Frederick M. Cady, a United States Antarctic Research Program ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station, in 1968.
Cumbie Glacier is a short, steep glacier just east of the Scott Nunataks, flowing north into the Swinburne Ice Shelf along the southwest side of Sulzberger Bay. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William A. Cumbie, Jr., U.S. Navy. An aviation electronics technician, Cumbie was a radioman on the ski-equipped R4D aircraft carrying Rear Admiral George Dufek that was the first to land at the geographic South Pole, October 31, 1956.
Dawson Nunatak is a nunatak about 3 nautical miles (6 km) south-southeast of Mount Peter in the Athos Range, Prince Charles Mountains. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos, and named for P.L. Dawson, a senior diesel mechanic at Mawson Station in 1964.
Wilds Nunatak is a lone nunatak located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) west of the south end of Frontier Mountain in Victoria Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Ronald F. Wilds, aviation machinist's mate with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 at McMurdo Station, 1966.
Papanin Nunataks is a small group of nunataks lying 11 nautical miles (20 km) east of Alderdice Peak in the Nye Mountains, Enderby Land. Named by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) for Soviet polar expert Admiral Ivan D. Papanin.
The Dwyer Nunataks are a scattered group of low peaks and ridges about 6 nautical miles (11 km) long and 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) southeast of Mount Gjeita in the Hansen Mountains of Antarctica. They were plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after V. Dwyer, a radio officer at Mawson Station in 1964, and a member of one of the survey parties which carried out a tellurometer traverse passing through the Hansen Mountains in 1965.
Florence Nunatak is a conspicuous nunatak, 280 metres (920 ft) high, nearly 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of the head of Potter Cove in the southwest part of King George Island, South Shetland Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for the sealing vessel which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1876–77 during the revival of United States southern fur sealing. Some of the crew of the Florence wintered at Potter Cove during 1877; only one survived.
Giró Nunatak is a nunatak 4 nautical miles (7 km) northwest of Vaca Nunatak in the Panzarini Hills portion of the Argentina Range, in the Pensacola Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Captain G.A. Giró, an Argentine officer in charge of General Belgrano Station, winter 1965.
Melfjellet is a prominent rock outcrop in the eastern part of the Hansen Mountains, Antarctica, about 2 nautical miles (4 km) southeast of See Nunatak. It was mapped and named by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37.
The Hutchins Nunataks are a group of nunataks rising to about 1,200 metres (4,000 ft), 12 nautical miles (22 km) north-northeast of Mount Leek, in the Hauberg Mountains of southern Palmer Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1961–67. The nunataks were visited in December 1977 by a USGS geological party, led by P.D. Rowley, and named after Lieutenant Commander John R. Hutchins, U.S. Navy, the command pilot of an LC-130 aircraft in support of the party.
Kjuklingen Nunatak is one of the Dwyer Nunataks, lying 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east of Mount Gjeita in the Hansen Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped and named Kjuklingen by Norwegian cartographers working from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37.
Kakapo Nunatak is the southern of two similar nunataks that lie 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) apart and 3.3 nautical miles (6 km) north-northeast of Mount Bird in northwestern Ross Island. It rises to about 1,200 metres (4,000 ft) and, like Takahe Nunatak close northeast, appears to be part of an ice-covered crater rim. Kakapo Nunatak is one of several features near Mount Bird assigned the native name of a New Zealand mountain bird, in this case the kakapo. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 2000.
Lee Nunatak is a nunatak, 1,920 metres (6,300 ft) high, 4 nautical miles (7 km) northwest of Penseroso Bluff in the northwest part of the Daniels Range in the Usarp Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Chun Chi Lee, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at McMurdo Station, 1967–68.
