The Scott Mountains are a large number of isolated peaks lying south of Amundsen Bay in Enderby Land of East Antarctica, Antarctica. Discovered on 13 January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Sir Douglas Mawson. He named the feature Scott Range after Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Royal Navy. The term mountains is considered more appropriate because of the isolation of its individual features.
The Aurkvaevane Cirques are a set of three cirques with moraine-covered floors, indenting the west side of Kvaevefjellet Mountain in the Payer Mountains of Queen Maud Land. They were discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, and re-plotted from air photos and from surveys, and named, by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60.
Altarduken Glacier is a small glacier just east of The Altar at the head of Grautskala Cirque, in the Humboldt Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.

The Bragg Islands are a small group of islands in Crystal Sound, about 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of Cape Rey, Graham Land. They were mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1958–59) and from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–48). The group was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Sir William H. Bragg, an English physicist who interpreted X-ray measurements to give the location of oxygen atoms in the structure of ice.
The Gruber Mountains are a small group of mountains consisting of a main massif and several rocky outliers, forming the northeast portion of the Wohlthat Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.

The mountains were remapped by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, who named them for Otto von Gruber, the German cartographer who compiled maps of this area from air photos taken by the GerAE. This feature is not to be confused with "Gruber-Berge," an unidentified toponym applied by the GerAE in northern the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains.
The Östliche Petermann Range is one of the Petermann Ranges, trending in a north-south direction for 15 nautical miles (28 km) from Per Spur to the Gornyye Inzhenery Rocks, in the Wohlthat Mountains of Queen Maud Land.

Mount Nikolayev is the central peak, 2,850 m, of Aurdalsegga Ridge in Sudliche Petermann Range, Wohlthat Mountains. Discovered and plotted from air photos by German Antarctic Expedition, 1938-39.

Daykovaya Peak is a prominent peak, 1,995 metres (6,550 ft) high, rising between Mount Hansen and Kare Bench in the Westliche Petermann Range, Wohlthat Mountains. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60; remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named Gora Daykovaya.
The Johnson Peaks are a cluster of detached peaks which mark the northern extremity of the Mittlere Petermann Range, in the Wohlthat Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, were replotted from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and were named for Rolf Johnson, a steward with the Norwegian expedition, 1958–59.
Kubusdaelda is a steep, ice-filled ravine between Kubus Mountain and Klevekampen Mountain in the Filchner Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Kubusdaelda in association with Kubus Mountain.
Grinda Ridge is a rock ridge 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) long, immediately north of Mount Grytoyr in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Grinda.
Pål Rock is a rock lying between Per and Oskeladden Rocks in the Arkticheskiy Institut Rocks at the northwest extremity of the Wohlthat Mountains, Queen Maud Land. It was discovered and photographed by the German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, and mapped by Norway from air photos and surveys by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Pål (Paul).
Mount Hansen is a mountain, 1,895 metres (6,220 ft) high, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) north of Kare Bench and just northwest of Daykovaya Peak at the northern extremity of the Westliche Petermann Range, in the Wohlthat Mountains of Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was replotted from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named for Kare Hansen, a meteorologist with the Norwegian expedition, 1958–59.
The Mittlere Petermann Range is one of the Petermann Ranges in Antarctica, extending north–south for 17 nautical miles (31 km) from the Johnson Peaks to Store Svarthorn Peak, in the Wohlthat Mountains, Queen Maud Land. The range was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition of 1938–39, and so named by them for its middle position in the northern part of the Petermann Ranges.
Mechnikov Peak is a prominent peak, 2,365 metres (7,760 ft) high, at the base of the spur separating Schussel Cirque and Grautskåla Cirque in the Humboldt Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, and was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60. The peak was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Russian geographer L.I. Mechnikov, 1838–88.
Mount Schicht is a prominent mountain with several summits, rising 4 nautical miles (7 km) west-southwest of Ritscher Peak in the Gruber Mountains of Queen Maud Land. The feature was discovered by the German Antarctic Expedition under Ritscher, 1938–39, and named Schichtberge because of its appearance.
Tønnesen Glacier is a broad glacier flowing north between Risemedet Mountain and Festninga Mountain, separating the Gjelsvik Mountains and the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains in Queen Maud Land. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named for J. Tønnesen, a meteorologist with the expedition.
Mount Rukhin is a small mountain, 1,740 m, standing 9 nautical miles (17 km) southwest of Ekho Mountain in the Lomonosov Mountains, Queen Maud Land. Mapped from air photos by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1958–59; remapped by Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after L.B. Rukhin, professor at Leningrad State University, who died in 1959.
