Waldrip Ledge is a conspicuous area of relatively level exposed rock along the north margin of Britannia Range. The feature is located on the east side of the terminus of Ragotzkie Glacier at the juncture with Hatherton Glacier. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Mr. D. Waldrip of Holmes and Narver, Inc., camp manager of the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Darwin Glacier Field Camp in the 1978-79 season. The camp was near this feature.
Corell Cirque is a large cirque, which is a concave amphitheater shaped valley containing a glacier. It is between Harvey Cirque and Duncan Bluff in the southern part of the Darwin Mountains. Located at the eastern end of the extensive Prebble Icefalls, the cirque channels some of the ice from the Midnight Plateau icecap into the Hatherton Glacier. It was named after Robert Corell, who headed the Geosciences Directorate at the National Science Foundation, 1987–99, which for many years included the Foundation's Polar Research, and who chaired national and international groups evaluating global change.
Mount Deleon is a mainly ice-free mountain, 780 metres (2,560 ft) high, located along the south side of Entrikin Glacier, 9 nautical miles (17 km) west-northwest of Cape Douglas. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Emilio A. Deleon, a hauling equipment operator, U.S. Navy, and a member of the Byrd Station party, 1963.
Jeffries Glacier is a glacier between Lenton Bluff and the Maro Cliffs, flowing northwest for at least 8 nautical miles (15 km) through the Theron Mountains of Antarctica. It was first mapped in 1956–57 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition and named for Peter H. Jeffries, a meteorologist with the advance party of the expedition in 1955–56.
Duncan Bluff is a steep rock bluff along the north side of Hatherton Glacier. It rises to 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) between Corell Cirque and Conant Valley in the Darwin Mountains. In association with the names of communication workers grouped in this area, it was named after Patrick Duncan Smith of the Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, 1995–2001, an information technology specialist for the United States Antarctic Program with responsibility for projects that access communication satellites as well as for Antarctic communication with the outside world.
Gaussiran Glacier is a glacier in the eastern part of the Britannia Range, Antarctica. It drains north from the saddle with Merrick Glacier to a juncture with Darwin Glacier between the Cranfield Icefalls and the Nebraska Peaks. It is separated from Alley Glacier by a series of large rock buttresses, including Robertson Buttress.
The Goorkha Craters are a line of snow-free coastal hills 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) east of Cooper Nunatak between Carlyon Glacier and Darwin Glacier in Antarctica. They were discovered and named by the British National Antarctic Expedition (.
Mount Mathew is a peak, 2,030 metres (6,660 ft) high, standing at the east side of Starshot Glacier, 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Mount Hotine, in the Surveyors Range, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1960–61) for Felton Mathew, the first Surveyor-General of New Zealand, in 1840.
Sivjee Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (18 km) long which drains the northeast slopes of Hunt Mountain in the Churchill Mountains. It flows north along the west side of Stark Ridge to enter Starshot Glacier south of Mount Hoskins. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Gulamabas G. Sivjee, United States Antarctic Program (USAP) principal investigator for spectroscopic and interferometric studies of airglow and auroral processes in the upper atmosphere above the geographic South Pole, 1991-2001.
Hollingsworth Glacier is a broad glacier of low gradient, draining the vicinity east of the Ricker Hills and flowing northeast to enter David Glacier just east of the Trio Nunataks, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Jerry L. Hollingsworth, a meteorologist with the South Pole Station winter party in 1966.
Kenney Glacier is a glacier 1 nmi long flowing northwest from The Pyramid and The Saddlestone into Depot Glacier, near the head of Hope Bay, Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. It was mapped in 1945 and 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), was resurveyed by the FIDS in 1955, and was named for Richard Kenney, assistant surveyor at Hope Bay in 1954 and 1955, who made a detailed local survey of the area between Hope Bay and Duse Bay.
Robertson Buttress is the westernmost in a series of large rock buttresses on the south side of Darwin Glacier between Alley Glacier and Gaussiran Glacier. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after William Gray Robertson, Jr. of ASA, a specialist in the design and installation of communication systems for United States Antarctic Program (USAP) in the McMurdo Sound and McMurdo Dry Valleys areas from 1990 to 2000.
