Belgica Mountains is an isolated chain of mountains about 10 miles (16 km) long, standing 60 miles (97 km) east-southeast of the Sor Rondane Mountains in Queen Maud Land, in the Antarctic. The chain was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1957-1958) under Gaston de Gerlache, and named after the ship Belgica, commanded by his father, Lt.

The mountains are approximately 89 km (55 mi) south of Stefansson Bay and they extend 40 km (25 mi) from northwest to southeast in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. The Hansen Mountains were first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the 1936–1937 Lars Christensen Expedition. They were named for H.E. Hansen, the Norwegian cartographer who compiled the maps for this and other Norwegian Antarctic expeditions.
Sigyn Glacier is a broad glacier flowing north between the Drygalski Mountains and the Kurze Mountains in Queen Maud Land. It was mapped and named from surveys and air photos by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) after Sigyn in Norse mythology.
Aeronaut Glacier is a low gradient glacier extending 25-mile (40 km) draining northeast from Gair Mesa into the upper part of Aviator Glacier near Navigator Nunatak, situated on the Borchgrevink Coast, named for Anglo-Norwegian explorer Carsten Borchgrevink (1864-1934) in the western extremity of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition of 1962–63 to commemorate the air support provided by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, and in association with nearby Aviator Glacier.
Nils Jorgen Peaks is a group of small peaks about 6 nautical miles (11 km) northeast of Mount Schumacher on the Ahlmann Ridge 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). Named for Nils Jorgen Schumacher, senior meteorologist with the NBSAE.
Svarthorna Peaks is a series of five or more peaks on the curving ridge that forms the south end of Mittlere Petermann Range, in the Wohlthat Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Discovered by the German Antarctic Expedition under Ritscher, 1938–39, who gave the descriptive name "Schwarze Horner". The peaks were remapped by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, who used the spelling Svarthorna. The Norwegian spelling has been recommended by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) to agree with associated features in the area having this name.
Svarthornbotnen Cirque is a large cirque just northeast of Store Svarthorn Peak in the Mittlere Petermann Range, Wohlthat Mountains. Discovered and plotted from air photos by German Antarctic Expedition, 1938-39. Replotted by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Svarthornbotnen.
Jutulgryta Crevasses is a crevasse field about 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, at the east side of the mouth of Jutulstraumen 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 from air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Jutulgryta.
Krasheninnikov Peak is a peak, 2,525 metres (8,280 ft) high, on the south side of the Svarthausane Crags in the Südliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered and 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. It was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Russian geographer S.P. Krasheninnikov.
Kujira Point is a small point forming the northern extremity of Padda Island in Lützow-Holm Bay, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, was remapped by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, 1957–62, and named Kujira-misaki.
Krakken Mountain is a mountain 1 nautical mile (2 km) north of Sandseten Mountain and just northwest of Gneysovaya Peak in the Westliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, was replotted from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Krakken.
Gygra Peak is a rock peak, 1,980 metres (6,500 ft) high, just west of Risen Peak in the Gjelsvik Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Gygra.
Haigh Nunatak * is a low peak 12 nautical miles (22 km) northeast of Pickering Nunatak on the east side of the mouth of Lambert Glacier in Antarctica. It was photographed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1957, and was visited by a geological party of the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in January 1966. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for John Haigh, a geophysicist at Mawson Station in 1965, who accompanied the Soviet party.
Melleby Peak is a peak marking the eastern end of the Neumayer Cliffs in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). The peak was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59), and was named for Peter Melleby, who was in charge of sledge dogs with the NBSAE.
Stein Nunataks is a group of nunataks about 15 nautical miles (28 km) east of Witte Peaks on the northeast part of Ahlmann Ridge, in Queen Maud Land. Discovered by the German Antarctic Expedition under Ritscher, 1938–39, and named for Willy Stein, boatswain of the expedition. They were surveyed by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE), between 1949-52.
Stauren Peak is a peak on Staurneset Spur, in the Muhlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Plotted from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Stauren.
Leroux Bay is a bay 9 nautical miles (17 km) long in a northwest–southeast direction and averaging 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, between Nunez Point and the narrow Magnier Peninsula surmounted by the Magnier Peaks and Lisiya Ridge, along the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.
