Enderby Land is a projecting land mass of Antarctica. Its shore extends from Shinnan Glacier at about 67°55′S44°38′E to William Scoresby Bay at 67°24′S59°34′E, approximately 1⁄24 of the earth's longitude. It was first documented in western and eastern literature in February 1831 by John Biscoe aboard the whaling brig Tula, and named after the Enderby Brothers of London, the ship's owners who encouraged their captains to combine exploration with sealing.
Explorers Range is a large mountain range in the Bowers Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica, extending from Mount Bruce in the north to Carryer Glacier and McLin Glacier in the south. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, whose members carried out a topographical and geological survey of the area. The names of several party members are assigned to features in and about this range. All of the geographical features listed below lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Habermehl Peak is a peak 2,945 metres (9,660 ft) high, 5 km (3 mi) south of Gessner Peak in the northeast part of the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939), led by Captain Alfred Ritscher, and named for Richard Habermehl, the director of the German Weather Service. It was remapped from air photos taken by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1958–59.
Blodwen Peak(71°20′S68°22′W) is a peak on the Alexander Island, the largest island of Antarctica.
The Gruber Mountains are a small group of mountains consisting of a main massif and several rocky outliers, forming the northeast portion of the Wohlthat Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (GerAE), 1938–39, under Alfred Ritscher. The mountains were remapped by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, who named them for Otto von Gruber, the German cartographer who compiled maps of this area from air photos taken by the GerAE. This feature is not to be confused with "Gruber-Berge," an unidentified toponym applied by the GerAE in northern the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains.
Champness Glacier is a tributary glacier, 15 nautical miles (30 km) long, draining northeast from the vicinity of Ian Peak in the Bowers Mountains and entering Lillie Glacier at Griffith Ridge, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The glacier was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition to northern Victoria Land, 1967–68, for G.R. Champness, field assistant with that party. The glacier lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
The Kurze Mountains are a range of mainly bare rock peaks, ridges and mountains about 20 nautical miles (40 km) long and 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide in the Orvin Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. The feature stands between the Drygalski Mountains on the west and the Gagarin Mountains and Conrad Mountains on the east.
The Copper Nunataks are a cluster of nunataks 4 nautical miles (7 km) across, situated at the head of Wetmore Glacier, 11 nautical miles (20 km) west-southwest of Mount Crowell, in southern Palmer Land. The group was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and from U.S. Navy tricamera aerial photography, 1961–67. The name was given by Peter D. Rowley, USGS geologist to this area, who reported that the nunataks contain the largest known copper deposits in Antarctica.
Svartnupen Peak is a peak on the south side of Hakon Col in the Kurze Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Mapped from surveys and air photos by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Svartnupen.
Jutland Glacier is a broad tributary glacier, 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7.4 km) wide, in the Victory Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It drains northwest from a common divide with Midway Glacier to join the flow of the Greenwell Glacier northwest of Boss Peak. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1960–63. It was named by the northern party of the New Zealand Federated Mountain Clubs Antarctic Expedition (NZFMCAE) which explored the area in 1962–63, after the Battle of Jutland, to continue the sequence of features in the vicinity named after famous battles.
The Findlay Range is a mountain range lying parallel to and west of the Lyttelton Range, extending between Grigg Peak and Sorensen Peak in the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. This topographical feature was so named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Robert H. Findlay, a geologist with the New Zealand Antarctic Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, leader of a New Zealand Antarctic Research Program geological party to this area, 1981–82. These mountains lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Foreman Glacier is a glacier flowing south-southeast from the Havre Mountains in the northern portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It drains the southwest slopes of Dimitrova Peak and the west slopes of Breze Peak and flows into Palestrina Glacier north of Balan Ridge in Sofia University Mountains. The glacier was surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1975–76, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1980 after David Alexander Foreman, a BAS aircraft mechanic at Adelaide Station, 1973–76.
Mount Gawn is a prominent peak, 2,190 metres (7,190 ft) high, in the central part of the King Range in northwestern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The topographical feature was so named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1963–64, for J.E. Gawn, a radio operator at Scott Base, 1963–64, who maintained radio schedules with the party. The mountain lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Mount Hall is a rock peak, 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) high, standing 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southwest of Mount Daniel, surmounting the snow-covered, tabular mountain block which forms the south end of Lillie Range, in the foothills of the Prince Olav Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered and photographed by the U.S. Ross Ice Shelf Traverse Party (1957–38) under A.P. Crary, and named by him for Lieutenant Commander Ray E. Hall, U.S. Navy, a pilot of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 during Operation Deep Freeze.
Lower Jaw Glacier is the south branch of the glacier on the eastern side of the ridge running north from Shark Fin, a peak in Antarctica. The branch flows eastward and converges with Upper Jaw Glacier before entering Renegar Glacier, Royal Society Range. It was so named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1994 as, on a map, the combined shapes of the Upper and Lower Jaw Glaciers resemble a gaping mouth, an idea strengthened by the proximity of Shark Fin.
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.
Hjelmkalven Point is a rocky point on the north side of Vesthjelmen Peak, at the east side of the mouth of Byrdbreen in the Sør Rondane Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1946 from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47. It was named Hjelmkalven by the Norwegians.
Kinntanna Peak is a sharp peak, 2,725 metres (8,940 ft) high, about 1 nautical mile (2 km) north of Holtanna Peak in the eastern part of Fenriskjeften Mountain in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Kinntanna.
The Karaali Rocks are a small group of rocks along the east side of the mainly snow-covered Coulter Heights, 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of Matikonis Peak in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Atok Karaali, an ionospheric physicist at Plateau Station, 1968.
