It was charted in February 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, and so named from its grim appearance.
Doescher Nunatak is a somewhat isolated nunatak situated 13 nautical miles (24 km) north of Mount Weihaupt in the Outback Nunataks, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The geographical feature was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Roger L.

This monolith lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Franca Glacier named after Fernando E. Franca, is a glacier in Antarctica, flowing northeast into the head of Solberg Inlet, Bowman Coast, to the south of Houser Peak. The glacier was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service, 1940, and the U.S. Navy, 1966. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1946–48, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1977 after Fernando E.

Miller Point is a black, rock cape rising to 250 metres (820 ft) and forming the north side of the entrance to Casey Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins in a flight on December 20, 1928, and named by him for George E. Miller of Detroit, Michigan. It has since been more fully defined as a result of flights by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, and by the flights and sledge journey along this coast from East Base by members of the United States Antarctic Service in 1940.
Cape Mayo is a bare rock cliff on the southwest side of the entrance to Delisle Inlet, forming the east end of a flat, ice-covered platform which rises to 500 metres (1,600 ft), situated between Cape Keeler and Miller Point on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins on a flight of December 20, 1928, and named by him for William B. Mayo of the Ford Motor Company. The cape has been more fully defined on the basis of information resulting from flights by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, and from the flights and sledge journey along this coast by members of the East Base of the United States Antarctic Service in 1940.
Romulus Glacier is a glacier, 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, which flows from the north slopes of Mount Lupa westward to Rymill Bay between the Blackwall Mountains and Black Thumb, on the west coast of Graham Land. First surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948-49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it for its association with Remus Glacier, whose head lies near the head of this glacier.
