The Enterprise Hills are a prominent group of largely ice-free hills and peaks in the form of an arc. The feature extends for about 30 nautical miles (60 km) to form the north and northeast boundary of Horseshoe Valley in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains. These hills were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66; the name was applied by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with the name Heritage Range.

The Edson Hills are a group of mainly ice-free hills lying south of Drake Icefall and west of Union Glacier in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. They were named by the University of Minnesota Ellsworth Mountains Party, 1962–63, for Dean T. Edson, a United States Geological Survey topographic engineer with the party.

Elvers, a seismologist on the United States Antarctic Research Program South Pole—Queen Maud Land Traverse II, in 1965–66.
Parrish Peak is a very pointed, partly snow-topped peak, 1,775 m, surmounting the ridge next south of Seal Glacier in the Enterprise Hills, Heritage Range. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1961 to 1966. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Edward N. Parrish, a glaciologist on the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) South Pole—Queen Maud Land Traverse I and II, 1964–65 and 1965–66.
The Founders Peaks are a cluster of sharp peaks and ridges located just east of Founders Escarpment and between Minnesota Glacier and Gowan Glacier, in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. The peaks were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66. The name was applied by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names is association with the name Heritage Range.
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.
Mountainview Ridge is a gentle ice-covered ridge which forms the southeast extremity of Petvar Heights and the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It was so named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party in 1963–64, because an excellent view of the high peaks of the Sentinel Range was obtained from the ridge.
Hall Peak is a peak, 2,170 metres (7,120 ft) high, in the Heritage Range of Antarctica, surmounting the dividing ridge at the upper reaches of Rennell Glacier, Schmidt Glacier and Larson Valley. It was named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party to these mountains in 1963–64 for Walter D. M. (Mike) Hall, a geologist with the party.
Mount Hawkes is, at 1,975 metres (6,480 ft), the highest mountain along the Washington Escarpment, standing at the east side of Jones Valley in the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica.
Matney Peak is a mostly ice-free peak, 1,810 metres (5,940 ft) high, near the middle of the line of peaks on the east side of Webster Glacier in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–1966, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate William R. Matney of the U.S. Navy who contributed significantly to improving fuel operations in Antarctica and, for a portion of Operation Deep Freeze 1966, acted as fuels officer.
McCance Glacier is the 30-km long and 5 km wide glacier draining the Hutchison Hill area on the west slopes of Avery Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It flows north-northwestwards along the west side of Osikovo Ridge, Kladnitsa Peak and Rubner Peak and enters Darbel Bay.
Hood Glacier is a glacier about 25 nautical miles (46 km) long draining northward from Siege Dome in the Commonwealth Range of Antarctica. It enters the Ross Ice Shelf between the Commonwealth Range and the Separation Range. The glacier was discovered by the Southern Polar Party of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, under Ernest Shackleton, and was named for Admiral Sir Horace Hood, under whom Jameson Adams, a member of the party, had served in HMS Berwick.
Rampart Ridge is a prominent broken ridge on the west side of the Royal Society Range, Antarctica. It stands north of Rutgers Glacier and extends from The Spire to Bishop Peak.
Landmark Peak is a very prominent peak, 1,840 metres (6,040 ft) high, standing 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Minnesota Glacier on the east side of Gowan Glacier, in the Heritage Range, Antarctica. It was named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party to these mountains in 1963–64 because the peak is a well used reference point for pilots flying in the area.
Lester Peak is a prominent snow-free peak at the south side of Hyde Glacier 1 nautical mile (2 km) northeast of Buggisch Peak in the Edson Hills of the Heritage Range, Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1961 to 1966, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lester A. Johnson, a meteorologist at Little America V Station in 1958.
Linder Peak is a somewhat lower, but very imposing peak standing immediately south of Mount Dolence in the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1961 to 1966, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Harold W. Linder, a geophysicist with the United States Antarctic Research Program Ross Ice Shelf party of 1961–62.
