Discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson. He named it for A. A. Simpson of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia, who helped finance Mawson's Antarctic expeditions.

Discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Flight Lieutenant Stuart Campbell, RAAF, pilot with the expedition.
The Leckie Range is a group of peaks 50 miles south of Edward VIII Bay, Enderby Land, Antarctica. The individual peaks were first shown on a 1947 Norwegian whalers chart by H.E. Hansen. The range was named by ANCA for Squadron Leader Douglas Leckie, RAAF, who commanded the RAAF Antarctic Flight at Mawson Station, 1956, and who piloted the Auster aircraft from which Phillip Law sighted and plotted these peaks.
Allison Bay, also known as Isvika, is a small bay immediately west of the Utstikkar Glacier and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the Lachal Bluffs and Ufs Island, on the Mawson Coast of Mac. Robertson Land in Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Isvika ; it was renamed by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Dr. Robert Allison, medical officer at Mawson Station in 1955.
Mount Allport is a snow-free peak just west of Leslie Peak and about 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Mount Cook of the Leckie Range. Plotted from ANARE air photos. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for B. Allport, radio officer at Mawson Station in 1964, a member of one of the survey parties which carried out a tellurometer traverse passing through the Leckie Range in 1965.
Mount Beck is a partly snow-covered mountain 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of Taylor Platform in the Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photos taken in 1956 and 1960. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for J.W. Beck, assistant cook at Mawson Station in 1964 and storeman at Wilkes Station in 1966.
Bryan Glacier is a glacier that flows north along the eastern side of the Werner Mountains and merges with Douglas Glacier on entering New Bedford Inlet in Palmer Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Terry E. Bryan, glaciologist at Byrd Station, summer 1966–67.
Chapman Ridge is a ridge rising to 300 metres (1,000 ft) and extending southwest for 3 nautical miles (6 km) from Byrd Head. It was discovered by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, 1929–31, under Douglas Mawson, and mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for the then-Australian scientist, Philip K. Chapman, auroral physicist at Mawson Station, during the International Geophysical Year,1958. Chapman and Henry Fischer, a Swiss national, were members of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE). They were the first humans to climb the ridge which they did several times. They did not take geological samples, make claims nor leave any marker.
Dingsør Dome is a small, distinct ice-covered elevation rising inland from the coast, 11 nautical miles (20 km) south of Point Williams, in Mac. Robertson Land. It was discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929–31) under Douglas Mawson, and was named by Mawson after Captain Dingsør, a Norwegian whale fishery inspector who was aboard the Kosmos in Antarctica that season. The Kosmos had supplied coal to Mawson's ship, the Discovery, on December 29, 1930.
Falla Bluff is a prominent rocky coastal bluff at the head of Utstikkar Bay. It was discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson, and named by him for R.A. Falla, ornithologist with the expedition.
The Satellite is a small rock peak rising to 1,100 m, protruding slightly above the ice sheet 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Pearce Peak and 8 nautical miles (15 km) east of Baillieu Peak. Discovered and named in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson. The approximate position of this peak was verified in aerial photographs taken by the U.S. Navy Operation Highjump on February 26, 1947.
Mount Seaton is a prominent domed peak in eastern Antarctica, one of the Amery Peaks, situated about 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Sandilands Nunatak in the Prince Charles Mountains. It was plotted by the ANARE southern party led by W.G. Bewsher in January 1957, and named for Pilot Officer John Seaton, a RAAF pilot with the Antarctic Flight at Mawson Station in 1956.
Smith Rocks is a group of rocks lying 1 kilometre (0.5 nmi) northeast of Canopus Islands, 1 kilometre (0.5 nmi) west of Kitney Island, 3.7 kilometres (2 nmi) southwest of Wiltshire Rocks, and 5.6 kilometres (3 nmi) northwest of Paterson Islands, in the east part of Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Spjotoyholmane. Renamed by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Captain V. Smith, RAASC, DUKW driver who took part in ANARE changeover operations at Davis and Mawson stations in 1958-59 and 1959-60.
Taylor Platform is a low, fairly flat rock massif about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) north of Mount Brocklehurst in the Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photos taken in 1956 and 1960. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for F.J. Taylor, ionosphere physicist at Mawson Station in 1964.
Ryrie Rock is an isolated rock off the coast, 20 kilometres (11 nmi) northeast of Kidson Island and 48 kilometres (26 nmi) northeast of Byrd Head. Discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson, who named it for the Australian High Commissioner in London at the time.
