Mount Borodin is a mainly ice-covered mountain, 695 metres (2,280 ft) high, with a rock outcrop on the east side, 7 nautical miles (13 km) north-northeast of Gluck Peak in the southwest part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. A number of peaks in this general vicinity first appear on the maps of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48. This peak, apparently one of these, was mapped from RARE air photos by Derek J.H. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Alexander Borodin, the Russian composer.
The Byvågåsane Peaks are three low aligned rock peaks which surmount the east shore of Byvågen Bay on the east side of Lutzow-Holm Bay. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37 and named Byvågåsane in association with Byvågen Bay.
Ovbratten Peak is a steep, pyramidal rock peak about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of Hogfonna Mountain, in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named Ovbratten.
Ormehausen Peak is a peak at the north end of Linnormen Hills in the Payer Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Photographed from the air by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Ormehausen.
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. They are south of the Asgard Range, east of the Quartermain Mountains and north of the Royal Society Range.
Gavlpiggen Peak is a low, isolated peak 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Klakknabben Peak, just north of the Kirwan Escarpment in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and from additional air photos (1958–59), and named Gavlpiggen.
Grayson Nunatak is a nunatak situated 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Crummey Nunatak in Antarctica. It is the northwesternmost feature of the Gutenko Nunataks, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land. The nunatak was discovered and first mapped by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41. It was remapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography, 1959–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Donald E. Grayson, an engineer at Byrd Station, 1970.
Møteplassen Peak is the northernmost peak in the group bordering the south side of Frostlendet Valley, in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named "Møteplassen".
Migmatitovaya Rock is a rock at the eastern end of a spur, lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of Terletskiy Peak in the Shcherbakov Range of the Orvin Mountains, Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was roughly 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 feature was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named "Skala Migmatitovaya".
Henderson Glacier is a glacier approximately 7 nautical miles long in the Enterprise Hills of the Heritage Range, Antarctica. It flows northeast from Schoeck Peak and Hoinkes Peak to enter Union Glacier just east of Mount Rossman. Henderson Glacier was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Felix E. Henderson, a United States Antarctic Research Program meteorologist at Eights Station in 1965.
Tysk Pass is a mountain pass between Hogskavlen Mountain and Domen Butte in the Borg Massif, Queen Maud Land. The feature was first photographed from the air by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and named Tyskepasset, presumedly because it was seen earlier by the German expedition.
The Knappane Peaks are a string of separated rock peaks just west of Nålegga Ridge, on the west side of Borg Massif in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named Knappane.
Knallen Peak is a small rock peak 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of Pyramiden Nunatak, at the east side of the head of Schytt Glacier in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named Knallen.
Kjellberg Peak is a small rock peak at the head of Frostlendet Valley, about 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Ryvingen Peak, in the southern part of the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named for Sigvard Kjellberg, a photographer with the Norwegian air unit of the expedition.
Sorhausane Peaks is a small cluster of peaks 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) south of Nupskapa Peak, at the south end of the Sverdrup Mountains in Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Sorhausane.
Høgskavlnebbet Spur is a spur extending north from Høgskavlen Mountain in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named Høgskavlnebbet.
Høgskavlpiggen Peak is a peak rising from the western part of Høgskavlen Mountain, in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named Høgskavlpiggen.
