Grimley of FIDS, a geologist at Horseshoe Island and Stonington Island in 1960.
Pyke Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, flowing southward from Detroit Plateau, between Albone and Polaris Glaciers on Nordenskjöld Coast in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. Mapped from surveys by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960–61). Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Geoffrey N. Pyke (1894–1948), English scientist who in 1941 originated the ideas developed by the Studebaker Corporation into the M-29 Tracked Cargo Carrier or "Weasel," the first really successful snow vehicle.
Polaris Glacier is a distinctive glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, flowing southward from Detroit Plateau, between Pyke and Eliason Glaciers on Nordenskjöld Coast in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. Mapped from surveys by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960–61).

Porphyry Bluff is a prominent rocky bluff extending from the coast to 2 miles inland, between Larsen Inlet and Longing Gap in Graham Land, Antarctica forming the northwest side of the entrance to Pizos Bay. The bluff was mapped from surveys by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960–61). It is named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the buff-colored quartz-plagioclase-porphyry rock which is characteristic of this exposure.
Eliason Glacier is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9 km) long close west of Mount Hornsby, flowing south from Detroit Plateau into the ice piedmont north of Larsen Inlet, Nordenskjöld Coast in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the Eliason motor sledge, invented in 1942 in Sweden, now made in Canada, and used in Arctic Canada since 1950 and in the Antarctic since 1960.
Eros Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide at its mouth, flowing southeast from the Planet Heights into George VI Sound immediately north of Fossil Bluff. It was probably first seen on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth, who flew directly over the glacier and obtained photos of features north and south of it. The mouth of the glacier was observed and positioned by the British Graham Land Expedition in 1936 and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948 and 1949. The glacier was mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the minor planet Eros in association with nearby Pluto Glacier and Uranus Glacier.
Foster Plateau is a plateau, about 80 square miles (210 km2) in area, lying between Drygalski Glacier and Hektoria Glacier in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. It borders Forbidden Plateau on the south and Herbert Plateau on the north. The feature was photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956–57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Richard A. Foster, FIDS leader of the Danco Island station in 1956 and 1957.
Harris Peak is a peak, 1,005 metres (3,300 ft) high, surmounting the base of Reclus Peninsula on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.

Tantalus Bluffs are high rock bluffs forming the northeast shoulder of Mount Ferguson, overlooking the west side of the terminus of Liv Glacier near its entry into Ross Ice Shelf. It was named by the Southern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1963–64) because the bluffs appeared to be of geologic interest but could not be reached. In attempting to penetrate the crevasse field northeast of the bluffs, one of the geologists was injured in a crevasse accident.
Mount Hornsby is a prominent snow-capped mountain on the south side of the middle reaches of Sjogren Glacier, Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Richard Hornsby & Sons of Grantham, who designed and constructed several highly successful chain-track vehicles for the British War Office, the first "caterpillar tractors," in the years 1904–10.
Kenney Glacier is a glacier 1 nmi long flowing northwest from The Pyramid and The Saddlestone into Depot Glacier, near the head of Hope Bay, Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. It was mapped in 1945 and 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), was resurveyed by the FIDS in 1955, and was named for Richard Kenney, assistant surveyor at Hope Bay in 1954 and 1955, who made a detailed local survey of the area between Hope Bay and Duse Bay.
