Shell Glacier is a western lobe of the Mount Bird icecap. It descends steeply in the valley north of Trachyte Hill and Harrison Bluff in the center of the ice-free area on the lower western slopes of Mount Bird, Ross Island. Mapped and so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1958–59, because of the marine shell content of the moraines.
Gair Glacier is a tributary glacier, 10 nautical miles long, rising close southeast of Mount Supernal in the Mountaineer Range and flowing east-northeast to enter Mariner Glacier just north of Bunker Bluff in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) 1962–63, for geologist H.S. Gair, leader that season of the NZGSAE northern field party.
Telemeter Glacier is a small glacier 1 mile (1.6 km) southwest of Fireman Glacier in the west part of Quartermain Mountains, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The name is one of a group in the area associated with surveying applied in 1993 by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB); telemeter being an instrument used to ascertain ranges and distances.
Prince Edward Glacier is a glacier draining the north side of Cotton Plateau in the Queen Elizabeth Range and flowing north for about 6 nautical miles (11 km) along the west side of Hochstein Ridge. Named by New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, son of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
Lavett Bluff is a rock bluff between Deacock Glacier and Fiftyone Glacier on the south side of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. It was surveyed in 1948 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) and named "Cape Lavett" for Lieutenant John L. Lavett, Royal Australian Navy, one of the officers on HMAS Labuan, the relief ship for the expedition. Further ANARE exploration led to revision of the name in 1964 to Lavett Bluff.
Wright Upper Glacier is an ice apron at the upper west end of Wright Valley in Asgard Range, Antarctica. It is formed by a glacier flowing east from the inland ice plateau. Named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1958–59) for C.S. Wright, a member of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13), after whom the "Wright Glacier" was named.
Bartley Glacier is a hanging glacier on the south wall of Wright Valley in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, just west of Meserve Glacier. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for construction driver Ollie B. Bartley, U.S. Navy, who was killed on January 14, 1957 when the vehicle (weasel) he was driving dropped through the sea ice at Hut Point, McMurdo Sound.
Biker Glacier is a glacier, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long and less than 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) wide, flowing north from the polar plateau between Mount Littlepage and Mount Dearborn into Mackay Glacier, Victoria Land. Approved by New Zealand Geographic Board in 1995, the name alludes to the use of a bicycle as a practical means of transportation by a New Zealand glacial mapping party led by Trevor J. Chinn, summer season 1992–93, and is part of a theme of cycling names in the area.
Otago Glacier is a glacier about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long draining the northeast side of Mount Markham and entering Nimrod Glacier just east of Svaton Peaks. Named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961–62) for the University of Otago, New Zealand.
Wells Glacier is a glacier 9 nautical miles west of Cape Brooks, flowing north into New Bedford Inlet in Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for James T. Wells, storekeeper with the South Pole Station winter party in 1967.
Sykes Glacier is a north-flowing glacier located just east of Plane Table in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land. Named by New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for New Zealand film director Jeremy Sykes who perished in a helicopter accident at nearby Mount McLennan, November 19, 1969.
Kurasawa Pond is a pond in the northwestern part of the Labyrinth of Wright Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. It lies south of Dean Cirque and 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) east of the Wright Upper Glacier terminus. The pond was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2004) after Hajime Kurasawa of the Japan Geological Survey, a participant in the McMurdo Dry Valleys Drilling Project in the 1973–74 and 1974–75 field seasons.
Turnabout Valley is a partially deglaciated valley between Finger Mountain and Pyramid Mountain, in the Quartermain Mountains, Victoria Land. Named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE), 1958-59.
Medley Ridge is a rock ridge that extends northeast from Mount Fleming to the southern margin of Wright Upper Glacier, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2004) after David Medley, a PHI helicopter mechanic with the United States Antarctic Program in eight consecutive field seasons from 1996–97.
Sprocket Glacier is a glacier, 5 km long, flowing north from Skew Peak to abut against the ice of Mackay Glacier at the Chain Moraines, Victoria Land. The name alludes to the use of a bicycle as a practical means of transportation by a glacial mapping party led by Trevor Chinn, summer season 1992-93, and is part of a theme of cycling names in the area. Approved by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) in 1995.
Rabot Glacier is a glacier in the Queen Elizabeth Range, flowing west from Mount Rabot between Mount Counts and Bartrum Plateau to enter Marsh Glacier. Named in association with Mount Rabot by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1961-62.
Mount Rucker is a mountain, 3,815 metres (12,516 ft), immediately south of Johns Hopkins Ridge in the Royal Society Range of Victoria Land. Discovered by the Discovery Expedition (1901–04) which named it for Sir Arthur Rucker, Honorary Secretary of the Royal Society.
