The Eternity Range is a range of mountains 28 nautical miles long, rising to 3,239 metres (10,627 ft), and trending north–south approximately in the middle of the Antarctic Peninsula. The range is divided into three main mountain blocks, the major summits in each from north to south being Mounts Faith, Hope and Charity.
Drygalski Glacier is a broad glacier, 18 nautical miles long which flows southeast from Herbert Plateau through a rectangular re-entrant to a point immediately north of Sentinel Nunatak on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.
Aitkenhead Glacier is a 10 nautical miles long glacier flowing east-southeast from the Detroit Plateau, Graham Land, into Prince Gustav Channel.
Billie Peak is a peak, 725 metres (2,380 ft) high, which rises 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east-northeast of Bay Point on the southeast coast of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 Discovery Investigations survey, but may reflect an earlier naming.
Börgen Bay is a bay 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, indenting the southeast coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. Canty Point marks the west side of the entrance to Börgen Bay, while Bay Point marks the east entrance. Billie Peak stands 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east-northeast of Bay Point.
Mount Camber is a mainly snow-covered mountain, 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) high, 1 nautical mile (2 km) northeast of Molar Peak in the Osterrieth Range of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache. The name High Peak was probably given to the feature by Lieutenant Commander J.M. Chaplin, Royal Navy, during a sketch survey in 1927 on the RRS Discovery. A resurvey in 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey found this descriptive name to be unsuitable. The new name, given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, is descriptive of the summit, which is long and gently sloping like a cambered road surface.
Channel Glacier is a through glacier, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km), extending in an east-west direction across Wiencke Island, between Nipple Peak and Wall Range, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache 1897–99. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the Discovery.
Noble Peak is a peak in the Comer Range, 720 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southwest of Lockley Point and marking the northeast end of a prominent ridge on the northwest side of Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect on earlier naming.
Green Spur is a green colored spur extending from Copper Peak, on the southeast side of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. It was probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99. The name appears on a map based upon a 1927 survey by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming.
Paradise Harbour is a wide embayment behind Lemaire Island and Bryde Island, indenting the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, between Duthiers Point and Leniz Point. The name was first applied by whalers operating in the vicinity and was in use by 1920.
Molar Peak is a steep-sided peak, 1,065 metres (3,500 ft) high, between Mount Camber and Copper Peak in the Osterrieth Range of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955. The descriptive name arose because the peak is shaped like a tooth.
Marescot Point is a small but distinctive low rocky point projecting north from Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica, 2.5 nautical miles east of Thanaron Point.
Thunder Glacier is a through glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, which extends in an east–west direction across Wiencke Island between Sierra DuFief and the Wall Range, in the Palmer Archipelago. Probably known since the discovery of Wiencke Island by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition in 1898. Charted in 1944 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and so named by them because a survey party was nearly overwhelmed there by an avalanche.
Marla Glacier is a glacier 8 nautical miles long and 1 nautical mile wide on the northeast side of Detroit Plateau on the southern Trinity Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctica.
Pulpudeva Glacier is the 4.6 nautical miles long and 3.2 nautical miles wide glacier in Sullivan Heights, Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is draining the area northeast of Nebeska Peak, north of Johnson Col and northwest of Mount Farrell, flowing northwards west of Mount Levack, and joining Ellen Glacier northwest of Mamarchev Peak and southeast of Mount Jumper.
Nemo Peak is a conspicuous peak, 865 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of Nipple Peak in the north part of Wiencke Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Adrien de Gerlache. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 survey by DI personnel in the RRS Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming.
Razboyna Glacier is the 3 nautical miles long and 1 nautical mile wide glacier in Petvar Heights on the southeast side of Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica situated north of Drama Glacier, east of Kornicker Glacier, and south of the lower course of Thomas Glacier. It is draining the north slopes of Bagra Peak, and flowing northeastwards to leave the range north of Long Peak.
Burevestnik Glacier is the 4.2 km long and 3.5 km wide glacier on Pasteur Peninsula, Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica, situated east of Podayva Glacier and north of Lister Glacier. It drains the north slopes of Stribog Mountains, flows northeastwards and enters the sea east of Marinka Point and northwest of Levenov Point.
Copper Col is a col at 305 m, between Copper Peak and Billie Peak in the Osterrieth Range of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–99), under Adrien de Gerlache. The name Copper Glacier appears in this position on a chart based on a 1927 survey by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery. The feature was resurveyed in 1955 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey, who reported that col would be a better descriptive term.
The Hump is a conspicuous dome-shaped summit on the northern shore of Lapeyrère Bay, northern Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. The name appears on a chart based on a 1927 survey by Discovery Investigations personnel on the RRS Discovery, but may reflect an earlier naming.
