The Priestley Glacier is a major valley glacier, about 96 km (60 mi) long, originating at the edge of the polar plateau of Victoria Land. The glacier drains southeast between the Deep Freeze and Eisenhower ranges to enter the northern end of the Nansen Ice Sheet.
Ninnis Glacier is a large, heavily hummocked and crevassed glacier descending steeply from the high interior to the sea in a broad valley, on George V Coast in Antarctica. It was discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Lieutenant B. E. S. Ninnis, who lost his life on the far east sledge journey of the expedition on 14 December 1912 through falling into the Black Crevasse in the glacier.
Cape Freshfield is an ice-covered cape between Deakin Bay and the Cook Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The coastline in this vicinity was first roughly charted by the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, and for a period this cape was thought to be Wilkes' Cape Hudson. The cape was mapped in 1912 by the Far Eastern Party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Douglas Freshfield, a long-time member of the Council of the Royal Geographical Society, and one time president of that organization.
George V Coast is that portion of the coast of Antarctica lying between Point Alden, at 148°2′E, and Cape Hudson, at 153°45′E.
Magnet Bay is a shallow coastal indentation, 13 kilometres (7 nmi) wide and receding only 3.7 kilometres (2 nmi), located 17 kilometres (9 nmi) west of Cape Davis at the northwest side of Edward VIII Plateau in Antarctica.
George V Land is a segment of Antarctica part of the land claimed as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory, inland from the George V Coast. As with other segments of Antarctica, it is defined by two lines of longitude, 142°02' E and 153°45' E, and by the 60°S parallel. This region was first explored by members of the Main Base party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-14) under Douglas Mawson, who named this feature for King George V of the United Kingdom.
Queen Maud Gulf lies between the northern coast of the mainland and the southeastern corner of Victoria Island in Nunavut, Canada. At its western end lies Cambridge Bay, leading to Dease Strait; to the east lies Simpson Strait; and to the north, Victoria Strait.
Uranus Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 30 kilometres long and 10 km (6 mi) wide at its mouth, flowing east into George VI Sound immediately south of Fossil Bluff. Along the south face of the glacier is an east–west escarpment called Kuiper Scarp.
Utstikkar Glacier is a broad glacier flowing north from the vicinity of Moyes Peak in Antarctica and terminating in Utstikkar Glacier Tongue between Utstikkar Bay to the east and Allison Bay to the west. The glacier was mapped and named Utstikkarbreen by Norwegian cartographers working from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition in January–February 1937.
Shambles Glacier is a steep glacier 4 miles long and 6 miles wide, with very prominent hummocks and crevasses, flowing east between Mount Bouvier and Mount Mangin into Stonehouse Bay on the east side of Adelaide Island. It is the island's largest glacier, and provides an eastern outlet from the giant Fuchs Ice Piedmont which covers the entire western two-thirds of the island. In doing so, Shambles Glacier provides the largest 'gap' in Adelaide Island's north-south running mountain chain.
Albrecht Penck Glacier is a glacier between the Fry Glacier and the Evans Piedmont Glacier, draining northeast toward Tripp Bay on the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09) which named this feature for Albrecht Penck, the Director of the Institute of Oceanography and of the Geographical Institute in Berlin.
Walkabout Rocks is a prominent rock exposure along the coast at the north-eastern extremity of the Vestfold Hills, about 0.5 nautical miles south of the Wyatt Earp Islands of Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37.
The Blackwall Mountains in Antarctica rise to 1,370 metres (4,500 ft), extending in a west-northwest–east-southeast direction for 5 nautical miles (9 km) and lying close south of Neny Fjord on the west coast of Graham Land. They are bounded to the east by Remus Glacier, to the south by Romulus Glacier, and are separated from Red Rock Ridge to the west by Safety Col. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, they were re-surveyed in 1948–49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and so named by them because the black cliffs of the mountains facing Rymill Bay remain snow free throughout the year.
Cave Bay is a cove, 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) wide, which has been formed by the erosion of an extinct volcanic crater of which Mount Andree forms the north side, indenting the west side of Heard Island between West Bay and South West Bay. The cove is roughly charted on an American sealer's sketch map prepared during the 1860–70 period. It was more accurately charted and first named on a geological sketch map illustrating the 1929 work of the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Douglas Mawson.
Whittle Glacier is a short channel glacier flowing northeast to Colvocoresses Bay and terminating in a small glacier tongue 6 nautical miles northwest of Williamson Glacier. Delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), and named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Dr. J.S. Whittle, Assistant Surgeon on the sloop Vincennes of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes.
Mount Guernsey is an isolated, mainly ice-covered mountain, 1,250 metres (4,100 ft) high, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) north of the summit of Mount Edgell, on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The name "Ile Guernesey" was given in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, after the island of Guernsey off the coast of France. The position of "Ile Guernesey" on the French expedition maps does not agree with that of the mountain described above, but from the narrative and sketches by Maurice Bongrain, the expedition surveyor, it has been determined that this mountain was the feature seen in 1909 by Charcot from a position near the center of the entrance to Marguerite Bay. The mountain was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition, but no name was assigned. It was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1948.
Planet Heights is a series of summits running along an ice-free ridge, extending 24 nautical miles (44 km) in a north-south direction between the southernmost extremity of the LeMay Range and George VI Sound in the east part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. Many landforms and nearby features are named in association with this mountain range, some of these include landforms named after astronomers, satellites, planets and other things related to astrology and astrophysics. The mountain range was first mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) from association with the nearby glaciers named for planets of the solar system. The only planet that is not featured in any of these glaciers is the planet Earth, as there are no glaciers named "Earth Glacier" and this glacier does not exist.
Tama Glacier is a glacier flowing to the sea between Tensoku Rock and Manju Rock on the coast of Queen Maud Land. Mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62, and named Tama-hyoga.
Ryder Bay is a bay 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide at its mouth and indenting 4 nautical miles (7 km), lying 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of Mount Gaudry on the southeast coast of Adelaide Island. The Leonie Islands lie across the mouth of this bay. Discovered and first surveyed in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot. Resurveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, and in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The bay is named for Lisle C.D. Ryder, second mate on the Penola during the BGLE, 1934-37. Ives Bank is a submarine bank in the Bellingshausen Sea on the southern approaches to Ryder Bay.
Ball Glacier is a small glacier separating Redshaw Point from Hamilton Point, flowing north-east to Markham Bay on the south-east side of James Ross Island. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1995 after H. William Ball, Keeper of Paleontology, British Museum, 1966–86, and author of Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey Scientific Report No. 24 on fossils from the James Ross Island area.
