The Intention Nunataks are a group of peaked nunataks between Solo Nunatak and the Forgotten Hills, at the southwestern margin of Evans Névé, Antarctica. They were named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1962–63, as the surveyor's intention to place a survey station here was thwarted by weather and other factors. The topographical feature lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.

Lawson, a diesel mechanic at Mawson Station, who assisted with the survey work in 1967.
Anderson Pyramid is a distinctive pyramidal peak, the southernmost member of the Bigler Nunataks, in the Usarp Mountains of Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Staff Sergeant Robert J. Anderson, U. S.

It was first seen by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) and named after the raft Kon-Tiki which was sailed across the Pacific Ocean from East to West in 1947 by the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl.
Storsponen Nunatak is a nunatak on the west side of Hoggestabben Butte, in the Muhlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Storsponen.
Mulgrew Nunatak is a prominent nunatak, 1,600 m, standing four nautical miles (7 km) east of Tentacle Ridge in the Cook Mountains. Its summit, standing at 1,600 m (5,200 ft), is named Peter Crest. The nunatak was first mapped by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58). Both it and its peak were named for Peter D. Mulgrew, a New Zealand adventurer who accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary to the South Pole and served as the chief radio operator at Scott Base. He perished in the Air New Zealand DC10 scenic flight to Ross Island, 28 November 1979, when the airplane crashed near Te Puna Roimata Peak on the northeast slope of Mount Erebus, killing all 257 persons aboard.
The Dione Nunataks are rock exposures at the head of Saturn Glacier, 9 nautical miles (17 km) west of Deimos Ridge in the southeastern part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The nunataks appear to have been first seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. They were remapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960, and were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee from association with Saturn Glacier, Dione being one of the satellites of the planet Saturn.
Gaylord Nunatak is a nunatak rising to about 1,500 metres (5,000 ft), 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) north-northeast of Schmutzler Nunatak in the southeast end of the Grossman Nunataks, Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1961–68, and from Landsat imagery, 1973–74. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1987 after Chauncey L. Gaylord, a USGS cartographer, 1942–76, Chief of the Compilation Unit in the Branch of Special Maps, working for many years in the preparation of Antarctic maps.
Goldsmith Glacier is a glacier flowing west-northwest through the Theron Mountains of Antarctica, 6 nautical miles (11 km) south of Tailend Nunatak.

Hinely Nunatak is a small nunatak, isolated except for Graser Nunatak 1 nautical mile (2 km) to the northeast, located 16 nautical miles (30 km) east of the Sky-Hi Nunataks in Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was named in 1987 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after John A. Hinely, Jr., a United States Geological Survey (USGS) civil engineer who, with William F. Graser, formed the USGS satellite surveying team at South Pole Station, winter party 1976.
Mayman Nunatak is a low rock outcrop, which has a domed appearance from the northeast, about 6 nautical miles (11 km) southwest of Taylor Platform in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica.

Mayman, medical officer at Davis Station in 1964.

It was named in 1987 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Jan A. Holtet of the Norwegian Institute of Cosmic Physics, an upper atmospheric physicist at Siple Station, 1970–71.
House Nunatak is one of the Grossman Nunataks in Palmer Land, Antarctica, located 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Whitmill Nunatak.

Kehle Glacier is a glacier draining the western slopes of the Worcester Range, Antarctica. It is near Mount Speyer and Mount Dawson-Lambton, and flows southwest into Mulock Glacier. The glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1964 for Ralph Kehle, a glaciologist at Little America V, 1959–60.
Rust Bluff is a small bluff or promontory on the east side of Miller Range, overlooking Marsh Glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Corner Nunatak. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Izak C. Rust, professor of geology, University of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Rust was international exchange scientist with the Ohio State University Geological Expedition, 1969–70, and with John Gunner collected geological samples at this bluff.
