The Prince Charles Mountains are a major group of mountains in Mac. Robertson Land in Antarctica, including the Athos Range, the Porthos Range, and the Aramis Range. The highest peak is Mount Menzies. Other prominent peaks are Mount Izabelle and Mount Stinear. These mountains together with other scattered peaks form an arc about 260 miles long, extending from the vicinity of Mount Starlight in the north to Goodspeed Nunataks in the south.
Explorers Range is a large mountain range in the Bowers Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica, extending from Mount Bruce in the north to Carryer Glacier and McLin Glacier in the south. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, whose members carried out a topographical and geological survey of the area. The names of several party members are assigned to features in and about this range. All of the geographical features listed below lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Finsterwalder Glacier is a glacier on the northwest side of Hemimont Plateau, 2 nautical miles wide and 10 nautical miles long, flowing southwest from the central plateau of Graham Land, Antarctica, toward the head of Lallemand Fjord. Its mouth lies between the mouths of Haefeli Glacier and Klebelsberg Glacier, the three glaciers merging with Sharp Glacier where the latter enters the fjord. It was first surveyed from the plateau in 1946–47 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and named by them for Sebastian Finsterwalder and his son, Richard Finsterwalder, German glaciologists.

Eros Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide at its mouth, flowing southeast from the Planet Heights into George VI Sound immediately north of Fossil Bluff. It was probably first seen on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth, who flew directly over the glacier and obtained photos of features north and south of it. The mouth of the glacier was observed and positioned by the British Graham Land Expedition in 1936 and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948 and 1949. The glacier was mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the minor planet Eros in association with nearby Pluto Glacier and Uranus Glacier.
Pearce Dome is a dome shaped mountain rising to about 789 m that is snow and ice free on the north slopes and is situated about 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) west-northwest of Khufu Peak and 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) due east of Blodwen Peak, situated on the east coast of Alexander Island overlooking George VI Sound and the George VI Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The feature was referred to descriptively as The Snow Dome in scientific reports in the early 1960s, and referred to as Dome by those working in the area. Named for C.J. Pearce, a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey Meteorologist who spent the first winter season (1961) at Fossil Bluff along with B.J. Taylor and J.P. Smith.
The Gadsden Peaks are a line of northeast-trending peaks on a ridge, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long. They rise to over 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) and stand 5 nautical miles west-southwest of Lange Peak of the Lyttelton Range, in the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land. Antarctica. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1960–63, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Michael Gadsden, a radioscience researcher at McMurdo Station, Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, 1965–66 and 1967–68. These peaks lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Morelli Ridge is a ridge, 2.7 nautical miles (5 km) long, that extends north from Hoehn Peak into the upper part of Bartley Glacier, in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1997 after Frank A. Morelli of the Bioscience and Planetology Section at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology, who studied the surface distribution of microorganisms in soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in the 1970–71 field season. Morelli was also a member of the environmental monitoring team for the Dry Valley Drilling Project in 1973–74.

With Finsterwalder Glacier and Haefeli Glacier, its mouth merges with Sharp Glacier where the latter enters the fjord. It was first surveyed from the plateau in 1946–47 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and named by them for Raimund von Klebelsberg, an Austrian glaciologist.
McClary Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It flows southwest along the north side of Butson Ridge into Marguerite Bay between Cape Calmette and the Debenham Islands. The glacier was first roughly surveyed by the British Graham Land Expedition, 1936–37, and resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1946–50. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for George B. McClary, father of Nelson McClary, mate on the Port of Beaumont during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48.
Steeple Point is a low ice-covered point on the west coast of Palmer Land, approximately 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) west of Sandau Nunatak of the Steeple Peaks. The point was named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in association with the Steeple Peaks.

It rises from the south-central part of the ridge separating Dugdale and Ommanney Glaciers. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Wilburn E. Stamper, RM2, U.S. Navy, radioman at McMurdo Station, 1967.
Khufu Corrie is a cirque roughly 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) across formed between Drune Hill to the north and Khufu Peak to the south on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was referred to as the "Fossil Bluff Glacier" in scientific reports in the early 1960s, Fossil Bluff being nearby, and is sometimes referred to today as "Moraine Corrie" and "Moraine Corrie Valley". The name is derived from Khufu Peak.
Rubble Glacier is an ice filled valley in the Palmer Land region of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is surrounded by Giza Peak and the ridge connecting it to Baily Ridge to the north and Elephant Ridge to the south. Rubble Glacier is referred to as "Man Pack Glacier" in scientific reports of the early 1960s, but is now descriptively referred to as Rubble Glacier or sometimes as "Louis Glacier".
