Deschanel Peak is the summit of an isolated, partly ice-covered mountain, 750 metres (2,460 ft) high, rising from the south part of the glacier close southeast of Cape Berteaux on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The approved name derives from "Sommet Deschanel" given by J.B. Charcot, leader of the French Antarctic Expedition, in January 1909.

Galkin Nunatak is an isolated nunatak about 35 nautical miles (65 km) northwest of Mount Coman, surmounting the interior ice plateau near the base of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William L. Galkin, a meteorologist at Byrd Station, summer 1965–66.
Graser Nunatak is a nunatak which is isolated except for Hinely Nunatak 1 nautical mile (2 km) to the southeast, located 16 nautical miles (30 km) east of the Sky-Hi Nunataks in Palmer Land, Antarctica.

Hinely, formed the USGS satellite surveying team at South Pole Station, winter party 1976.
Meinardus Glacier is an extensive glacier in Palmer Land, Antarctica. It flows in an east-northeast direction to a point immediately east of Mount Barkow, where it is joined from the northwest by Haines Glacier, and then flows east to enter New Bedford Inlet close west of Court Nunatak, on the east coast of Palmer Land. The glacier was discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service. During 1947 it was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition under Finn Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. It was named by the FIDS for Wilhelm Meinardus, a German meteorologist and climatologist and author of many publications including the meteorological results of the German Antarctic Expedition under Drygalski, 1901–03.
Havilland Point is a point 2 nautical miles (4 km) east of Cape Page forming the east side of the entrance to Vinitsa Cove and the west side of the entrance to Lanchester Bay on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1955–57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, an English pioneer aircraft designer.
Heim Glacier is a glacier 8 nautical miles (15 km) long in the southeast part of Arrowsmith Peninsula, which flows south to merge with the ice in Jones Channel on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. With Antevs Glacier to the north, it forms a transverse depression extending to the southwest part of Lallemand Fjord. Heim Glacier was first sighted from the air in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill. Its lower reaches were surveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and the glacier named by them for Albert Heim, a Swiss glaciologist and the author in 1885 of Handbuch der Gletscherkunde.
Mount Stadler is a mountain 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) southeast of Mount Cordwell and 23 nautical miles (43 km) south-southwest of Stor Hanakken Mountain in Enderby Land.

Spear Glacier is a glacier between the Hauberg Mountains and Peterson Hills, in southern Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Milton B. Spear, construction electrician at Eights Station in 1965.

Chapman Glacier is a glacier 11 miles (18 km) long and 10 miles (16 km) wide in its central part, narrowing to 3 miles (5 km) at its mouth, flowing west from the Dyer Plateau of Palmer Land to George VI Sound immediately south of Carse Point. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1954 for Frederick S. Chapman, British mountaineer and Arctic explorer, who in 1934 brought 64 dogs from West Greenland to England for the use of the BGLE, 1934–37.
