Millett Glacier was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954 for Hugh M. Millett, chief engineer of the Penola during the BGLE.
Hodges Point is a rocky point terminating in an impressive black cliff, lying 6 nautical miles (11 km) east-northeast of Cape Northrop on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. Twin summits on the point rise to 940 and 960 metres. The feature was photographed by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41. It was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey 1947–48, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Ben Hodges, General Assistant with the British Antarctic Survey Larsen Ice Shelf party, 1963–64.
Markham Bay is a bay 8 nautical miles wide, lying between Ekelöf Point and Hamilton Point on the east side of James Ross Island, Antarctica.
Homeward Point is a point forming the west side of the entrance to Security Bay, on Doumer Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and so named by the British Naval Hydrographic Survey Unit in 1956–57 because the point was sighted as a prominent landmark almost daily by the crew of their motor-launch when homeward bound for Port Lockroy at the end of a day's survey work in the Bismarck Strait.
Tindal Bluff is a rocky headland rising to 800 m between the terminus of Fricker Glacier and Monnier Point on the east coast of Graham Land.
