Wilson Hills is a group of scattered hills, nunataks and ridges that extend NW-SE for about 110 kilometres (68 mi) between Matusevich Glacier and Pryor Glacier in Antarctica. They were discovered by Lieutenant Harry Pennell, Royal Navy, on the Terra Nova Expedition in February 1911 during Robert Falcon Scott's last expedition, and named after Dr. Edward A. Wilson, a zoologist with the expedition, who perished with Scott on the return journey from the South Pole.
Endeavour Massif is a huge, flat-topped massif on the Scott Coast of Victoria Land. The massif extends south from Pa Tio Tio Gap to Fry Glacier and forms the southern block of the Kirkwood Range. Shoulder Mountain, Mount Belgrave and Mount Creak rise from the southern part of the massif. Steep coastal cliffs and projecting ridges mark the eastern margin, but there is a gentle slope west from the massif's broad, plateau-like snow summit.
Decker Glacier is a steep, narrow glacier that drains the northeast slopes of Mount Newall in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Chief Aviation Machinist's Mate William D. Decker, U.S. Navy, of Squadron VXE-6, who died at McMurdo Station on October 11, 1971.
Ball Glacier is a glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long with the head located between Mount Lister and Mount Hooker on the east side of the Royal Society Range. The glacier flows northeast between Craw Ridge and Tasman Ridge into Blue Glacier. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board after Gary Ball, a New Zealand mountaineer who climbed Mount Lister with an Italian field party, 1976–77, and camped on this glacier; he was field assistant with R.H. Findlay’s New Zealand Antarctic Research Program party to this area, 1980–81.
Beacon Valley is an ice-free valley between Pyramid Mountain and Beacon Heights, in Victoria Land. It was mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1958–59) after Beacon Heights.
Chuan Peak is a peak, about 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) high, located 1 nautical mile (2 km) northeast of Barker Peak in the southern part of the Giggenbach Ridge, Ross Island. It was named, at the suggestion of P.R. Kyle, by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (2000) after Raymond L. Chuan who, as a scientist with the Brunswick Corporation, Costa Mesa, California, undertook many airborne surveys of volcanic aerosols from Mount Erebus and also did sampling at the crater rim, 1983–84 and 1986–87; investigator on a project which examined aerosols between Mount Erebus and the South Pole.
Clio Glacier is a northeast-flowing glacier, 1 mile (1.6 km) long, on the east side of Eurus Ridge in the Olympus Range, McMurdo Dry Valleys. In association with the names from Greek mythology grouped in this area, it was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board (1998) after Clio, the Greek muse of history.
Coleman Peak is a peak rising to about 1,600 metres (5,250 ft) on the northeast slope of Mount Erebus, Ross Island, 3.6 nautical miles (6.7 km) east of the summit of Fang Ridge. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board (2000) after Father John Coleman, a New Zealand chaplain, who traveled to Antarctica many times with the U.S. Antarctic Program.
Denton Glacier is a small hanging glacier which drains the northwest slopes of Mount Newall and terminates on the south wall of Wright Valley, Victoria Land. It was named by U.S. geologist Robert Nichols for George H. Denton, geological assistant to Nichols at nearby Marble Point in the 1958–59 field season.
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.
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. It was so named, probably for its curved shape, by Frank Debenham of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, who made a plane table survey in 1912.
Minnehaha Icefalls is a small, heavily crevassed icefall descending the steep western slopes of Mount England and forming a southern tributary to New Glacier, close west of its terminus at Granite Harbour, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was charted and named by a party of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13) led by Thomas Griffith Taylor. The name, after Minnehaha, was suggested by Frank Debenham.
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.
Lizotte Creek is a meltwater stream, 2,000 metres (2,200 yd) long, flowing southeastwards from the extreme southwestern tip of Matterhorn Glacier to the northeast end of Lake Bonney in Taylor Valley, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1996 after Michael P. Lizotte, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, who studied algal physiology and ecology in perennially ice-covered lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys area from 1985 to 2008.
Haven Mountain is a prominent mountain, 2,470 metres (8,100 ft) high, with a level razor-back snow ridge at its highest (eastern) part, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the Three Nunataks in the northwestern part of the Britannia Range. It was so named by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58), who sheltered for five days in the largely snow-free area below the north side of the summit ridge.
Helios Ridge is a broad rock ridge, 4.5 nautical miles (8 km) long, that extends in an east-northeast direction from Mount Helios in the Olympus Range, to the vicinity of Lake Brownworth in Wright Valley, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The ridge rises between the east snout of Clark Glacier and Wright Valley, causing meltwater streams to flow east around it to reach Onyx River. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1997 in association with Mount Helios and other features in this area that are named from Greek mythology.
Mount Manger is a snow-covered mountain located 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Mount Josephine in the Alexandra Mountains, on King Edward VII Peninsula, Antarctica. The mountain was photographed from the air and roughly mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928–30, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William Manger, of the family that owned the Manger Hotel chain, who assisted Byrd expeditions by providing free room for office space and for expedition personnel.
Saint Johns Range is a crescent-shaped mountain range about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long, in Victoria Land. It is bounded on the north by the Cotton, Miller and Debenham Glaciers, and on the south by Victoria Valley and the Victoria Upper and Victoria Lower Glaciers. Named by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58, which surveyed peaks in the range in 1957. Named for St. Johns College at Cambridge, England, with which several members of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13) were associated during the writing of their scientific reports, and in association with the adjacent Gonville and Caius Range.
