Thurston Island is an ice-covered, glacially dissected island, 215 km (134 mi) long, 90 km (56 mi) wide and 15,700 km2 (6,062 sq mi) in area, lying a short way off the northwest end of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. It is the third largest island of Antarctica, after Alexander Island and Berkner Island.
Dundee Island is an ice-covered island lying east of the northeastern tip of Antarctic Peninsula and south of Joinville Island.
Lillie Glacier is a large glacier in Antarctica, about 100 nautical miles (190 km) long and 10 nautical miles (19 km) wide. It lies between the Bowers Mountains on the west and the Concord Mountains and Anare Mountains on the east, flowing to Ob' Bay on the coast and forming the Lillie Glacier Tongue.
Coronation Island is the largest of the South Orkney Islands, 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and from 3 to 8 nautical miles wide. The island extends in a general east-west direction, is mainly ice-covered and comprises numerous bays, glaciers and peaks, the highest rising to 1,265 metres (4,150 ft).
Nelson Rock is an uninhabited solitary island, being essentially a dark rock which is partly ice-covered and lies 5.6 km (3 nmi) north of Williams Rocks, off the coast of Mac Robertson Land in Holme Bay. The Rock was mapped by Robert G. Dovers of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1954. Nelson Rock was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Robert Edward Kelvin Nelson, a weather observer at Mawson Station in 1962, who assisted with the triangulation of Nelson Rock and the erection of a beacon.
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.
Enderby Land is a projecting land mass of Antarctica. Its shore extends from Shinnan Glacier at about 67°55′S44°38′E to William Scoresby Bay at 67°24′S59°34′E, approximately 1⁄24 of the earth's longitude. It was first documented in western and eastern literature in February 1831 by John Biscoe aboard the whaling brig Tula, and named after the Enderby Brothers of London, the ship's owners who encouraged their captains to combine exploration with sealing.
Snow Hill Island is an almost completely snowcapped island, 33 km (21 mi) long and 12 km (7.5 mi) wide, lying off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is separated from James Ross Island to the north-east by Admiralty Sound and from Seymour Island to the north by Picnic Passage. It is one of several islands around the peninsula known as Graham Land, which is closer to South America than any other part of the Antarctic continent.
Rippon Glacier is a small glacier located in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. It is close east of Seaton Glacier, flowing southward into Edward VIII Ice Shelf.
Wilma Glacier is the western of two glaciers entering the southern part of Edward VIII Ice Shelf in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. The second, eastern glacier is Robert Glacier.
Posadowsky Glacier is a glacier about 9 nautical miles long, flowing north to Posadowsky Bay immediately east of Gaussberg. Posadowsky Bay is an open embayment, located just east of the West Ice Shelf and fronting on the Davis Sea in Kaiser Wilhelm II Land. Kaiser Wilhelm II Land is the part of East Antarctica lying between Cape Penck, at 87°43'E, and Cape Filchner, at 91°54'E, and is claimed by Australia as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Other notable geographic features in this area include Drygalski Island, located 45 mi NNE of Cape Filchner in the Davis Sea, and Mirny Station, a Russian scientific research station.
Grace Rock is a rock in Bransfield Strait, Antarctica lying 1.72 kilometres (0.93 nmi) off the southeast coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1961 after the British sealing vessel Grace from Plymouth, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1821–22.
Flint Ridge is a north-south trending ridge with a summit elevation of 995 metres (3,260 ft) in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. On the west side of the ridge is Sagittate Hill, 850 metres (2,790 ft) tall and mostly composed of exposed rock. At the south end of the ridge sits Noxon Cliff, which trends east-west and encloses the north flank of Commonwealth Glacier, rising from 50–150 m (160–490 ft) above the glacier. On the eastern part of the cliff is Dominion Hill, a rounded rock summit rising to about 900 metres (3,000 ft) that borders the glacier where it descends southeastward into Taylor Valley.
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.
Long Glacier is a glacier about 8 nautical miles long in the southeastern part of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It flows south to the Abbot Ice Shelf, 14 nautical miles (26 km) west of Harrison Nunatak. The glacier was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Fred A. Long, Jr., an aviation machinist of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, who wintered at Little America V in 1957 and was in Antarctica in the 1960–61 and 1962–63 seasons.
McLeod Massif is a large rock massif just south of Manning Massif in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photographs, and first visited by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1969. The feature was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for I.R. McLeod, geologist-in-charge of geological field operations during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains surveys of 1969 and 1970.
Husky Massif is a rock outcrop 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) high, about 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) long, standing 6.5 nautical miles (12 km) southwest of Mount Bewsher in the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was first sighted from Mount Bewsher by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions field party in January 1957 and named "Husky Dome" to commemorate the sledge dogs used by the party. The earlier name was amended to Husky Massif by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia in 1970 and is considered more descriptive.
Manning Massif is a large rock massif between Loewe Massif and McLeod Massif in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photographs, and was first visited by a party from the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1969. The massif was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Manning, a surveyor at Mawson Station in 1967, and surveyor-in-charge of field survey operations during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains surveys of 1969, 1971 and 1972.
Keep Rock is a small rock lying 1.5 kilometres (0.8 nmi) west-southwest of Castle Rock, off the west side of Snow Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name, which derives from "keep" in association with Castle Rock, was given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following survey by Lieutenant Commander F.W. Hunt, Royal Navy, in 1951–52.
