At the suggestion of P.R. Kyle, it was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2000) after David A. Caldwell, geologist, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, who worked two field seasons on Mount Erebus ; completed M.S. thesis on lava flows at the Mount Erebus summit.
Oamaru Peak is a peak 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) north of Mount Terra Nova on Ross Island. The feature rises to c.1000 m 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) north of Caldwell Peak. Named by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) (2000) after Oamaru, in Otago, New Zealand, the port the Terra Nova first visited after the death of Captain Robert F. Scott.
Cycle Glacier is a glacier, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long and 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide, flowing north from the polar plateau between Mount Dearborn and Robinson Peak into Mackay Glacier, Victoria Land. Approved by the 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 Chinn, summer season 1992–93, and is part of a theme of cycling names in the area.
Kukri Hills is a prominent east-west trending range, about 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) high, forming the divide between Ferrar Glacier on the south and Taylor Glacier and Taylor Valley on the north, in Victoria Land, Antarctica.

Parawera Cone is a cone rising to c.1300 m at the northeast end of Tekapo Ridge in Kyle Hills, Ross Island. The cone is 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Ainley Peak. The name Parawera is one of several Maorai wind names applied by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) in this area.
Enyo Glacier is a south-flowing glacier 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) long situated east of Sandy Glacier in the eastern part of the Olympus Range, in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica.

Fang Ridge is a conspicuous ridge on the northeast slope of Mount Erebus, on Ross Island. It is a much denuded portion of the original caldera rim left by a catastrophic eruption.

The Fang is a distinctive toothlike peak, 3,159 metres (10,364 ft) high, which forms the highest point of Fang Ridge on Mount Erebus, Ross Island. It was descriptively named by Frank Debenham of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, who made a plane table survey of the vicinity in 1912.
Mount Loke is a horn shaped peak on the south wall of Wright Valley, standing between Goodspeed Glacier and Denton Glacier in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition, 1958–59, after Loki, one of the Norse gods, although it uses an alternate spelling of his name.
Hermitage Peak is a peak, 750 metres (2,460 ft) high, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Mount Ubique, in the Surveyors Range, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1960–61) for Hermitage, Berkshire, England, the home of the Royal School of Military Survey.

Manahan Peak is a prominent peak 1 nautical mile (2 km) east of Giggenbach Ridge in northeastern Ross Island, Antarctica. The peak rises to over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) 2.6 nautical miles (4.8 km) northwest of the summit of Mount Terror. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2000 after biologist Donal T. Manahan, who worked eight seasons in Antarctica from 1983. Manahan was the United States Antarctic Program principal investigator in a study of the early stages of marine animals, and was chair of the Polar Research Board at the National Academy of Sciences in 2000.
Leigh Hunt Glacier is a glacier in Antarctica, 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, flowing north-northwest to enter Brandau Glacier just west of Hare Peak. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) for A. Leigh Hunt, founder and first chairman of the New Zealand Antarctic Society.
