Borchgrevink Glacier is a large glacier in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land, draining south between Malta Plateau and Daniell Peninsula, and thence projecting into Glacier Strait, Ross Sea, as a floating glacier tongue, the Borchgrevink Glacier Tongue, just south of Cape Jones. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1957–58, for Carsten Borchgrevink, leader of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900. Borchgrevink visited the area in February 1900 and first observed the seaward portion of the glacier.
Frost Glacier is a channel glacier flowing to the head of Porpoise Bay, Antarctica. It was delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John Frost, boatswain on the brig Porpoise of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Charles Wilkes.
Shearer Stack is a rock stack lying 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southwest of False Round Point, off the north coast of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for the American sealing vessel Charles Shearer from Nantucket, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1874-75. In 1877 the ship again sailed for the islands and disappeared without a trace.
Jacobsen Glacier is a glacier flowing east-northeast from Mount Reid, in the Holland Range, Antarctica, into the Ross Ice Shelf. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from Tellurometer surveys (1961–62) and Navy air photos (1960), and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for H. Jacobsen, Master of the USNS Chattahoochee during U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze 1964 and 1965.
Beck Peak is a peak, 2,650 metres (8,700 ft) high, on the east flank of Amundsen Glacier, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) northwest of Mount Stubberud on the ridge descending from the northern Nilsen Plateau, Queen Maud Mountains. This peak appears to have been first mapped from air and ground photos taken by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928–30. It was mapped in greater detail by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64. The peak was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Andreas Beck, a crew member and ice pilot on Amundsen's South Pole expedition of 1910–12. This naming preserves the spirit of Roald Amundsen's 1911 commemoration of "Mount A. Beck", a name applied by him for a mountain situated at 87°20′S148°0′E.
West Stack is a coastal rock outcrop which rises to 120 m on the west side of Hoseason Glacier, 14 nautical miles (26 km) southeast of Edward VIII Bay. Discovered in February 1936 by DI personnel on the William Scoresby, and probably so named by them because of its distinctive appearance and association with nearby East Stack.
Krank Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, flowing east to enter Helm Glacier just south of Mount Macbain in the Queen Elizabeth Range of Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Joseph P. Krank, Weather Central meteorologist at Little America V Station in the winter of 1957.
Mule Point is a rocky point just south of East Stack, at the east side of Hoseason Glacier. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographers taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and called Mule (snout).
Dorrer Glacier is a glacier just south of Mount Heiser, flowing east into Lowery Glacier from the northeast slopes of the Queen Elizabeth Range. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Egon Dorrer, a United States Antarctic Research Program glaciologist on the Ross Ice Shelf 1962–63 and 1965–66.
Pavlak Glacier is a glacier that drains east from the Queen Elizabeth Range into Lowery Glacier close south of Mount Predoehl. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Thomas L. Pavlak, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) glaciologist at South Pole Station, 1962-63.
Flagstaff Glacier is a very small glacier lying immediately north of Flagstaff Hill on Keller Peninsula, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name arose locally in about 1958 and derives from association with Flagstaff Hill.
The Hamarglovene Crevasses are a crevasse field in lower Vestreskorve Glacier just east of Hamaroya Mountain, in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Hamarglovene.
Lister Glacier is a glacier on the east side of the Royal Society Range in Antarctica, draining northeast from a large cirque immediately north of Mount Lister. It derives its name from Mount Lister, and was surveyed in 1957 by the New Zealand Blue Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58.
Mount McLennan is a mountain 4 nautical miles (7 km) south of the Howard Hills in the northeast part of the Scott Mountains, Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956 and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for K. McLennan, a member of the crew of the Discovery during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition of 1929–31.
Mount Hochlin is a large ice-topped mountain, 2,760 metres (9,060 ft) high, standing east of Festninga Mountain in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named for L. Hochlin, a radio operator and dog driver with the expedition (1956–58).
Hess Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles long, flowing east-northeast between steep rock walls to its terminus 10 nautical miles southwest of Monnier Point, on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it for Hans Hess, a German glaciologist.
Magnis Ridge is a rock ridge 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) west of Derrick Peak, forming the divide between Magnis Valley and Metaris Valley in the Britannia Range, Antarctica. It was named in association with Magnis Valley by a University of Waikato geological party, 1978–79, led by Michael Selby.
Schimper Glacier is a glacier in the east part of Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range, flowing north-northeast into Slessor Glacier. Photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1968–71. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in the area, named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Karl Friedrich Schimper (1803–67), German botanist who in 1835 originated the theory of the Ice Age in Europe to account for the distribution of erratic boulders.
Law Glacier is a glacier about 10 nautical miles (20 km) wide between the south end of the Queen Elizabeth Range and the MacAlpine Hills, gradually descending east-northeast from the Antarctic polar plateau to Bowden Névé. It was named by the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) for B.R. Law, Deputy-Chairman of the Ross Sea Committee.
