Named for Alexandra, then Queen of the United Kingdom.
The Forrestal Range is a largely snow-covered mountain range, about 105 km (65 mi) long, standing east of Dufek Massif and the Neptune Range in the Pensacola Mountains of Antarctica. Discovered and photographed on 13 January 1956 on a transcontinental patrol plane flight of U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze I from McMurdo Sound to the vicinity of the Weddell Sea and return.
The Patuxent Range or macizo Armada Argentina is a major range of the Pensacola Mountains, comprising the Thomas Hills, Anderson Hills, Mackin Table and various nunataks and ridges bounded by the Foundation Ice Stream, Academy Glacier and the Patuxent Ice Stream. Discovered and partially photographed on January 13, 1956 in the course of a transcontinental nonstop plane flight by personnel of U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze I from McMurdo Sound to Weddell Sea and return.
The Reedy Glacier is a major glacier in Antarctica, over 100 nautical miles long and 6 to 12 nautical miles wide, descending from the polar plateau to the Ross Ice Shelf between the Michigan Plateau and Wisconsin Range in the Transantarctic Mountains. It marks the limits of the Queen Maud Mountains on the west and the Horlick Mountains on the east.
The Byrd Glacier is a major glacier in Antarctica, about 136 km (85 mi) long and 24 km (15 mi) wide. It drains an extensive area of the Antarctic plateau, and flows eastward to discharge into the Ross Ice Shelf.
Liv Glacier is a steep valley glacier, 40 nautical miles long, emerging from the Antarctic Plateau just southeast of Barnum Peak and draining north through the Queen Maud Mountains to enter Ross Ice Shelf between Mayer Crags and Duncan Mountains. It was discovered in 1911 by Roald Amundsen, who named it for the daughter of Fridtjof Nansen.
Exile Nunatak is an isolated nunatak in the northwest part of Handel Ice Piedmont in the west-central part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was first mapped from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. The name given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee suggests the feature's isolated position.
The Scott Nunataks are a group of conspicuous nunataks lying about 18 km east of the Richter Glacier and forming the northern end of the Alexandra Mountains in King Edward VII Land, Antarctica.
All-Blacks Nunataks is a group of conspicuous nunataks lying midway between Wallabies Nunataks and Wilhoite Nunataks at the southeast margin of the Byrd Névé in Antarctica. Named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1960–61) for the well known New Zealand national rugby union team.
Baines Nunatak is a nunatak rising to 1,020 metres (3,350 ft) to the east of Bernhardi Heights and 10 nautical miles (19 km) northwest of Jackson Tooth, Pioneers Escarpment, in the Shackleton Range. It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1968–71, and named in 1977 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Thomas Baines (1822–75), an English explorer and joint author, with William Barry Lord, of Shifts and Expedients of Camp Life, Travel and Exploration.
The Bermel Escarpment is a snow and rock escarpment, 15 nautical miles long, extending from the base of the Ford Massif to King Peak, in the Thiel Mountains of Antarctica. The escarpment drops 300 to 400 metres from the Antarctic Plateau to the ice surface north of these mountains.
Chapman Snowfield is a large snowfield lying west of the central ridge in the Churchill Mountains in the Ross Dependency region of Antarctica.
Coleman Nunatak is a nunatak located near the head of Berry Glacier, 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of Patton Bluff in Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Richard I. Coleman, United States Antarctic Research Program meteorologist at Byrd Station, 1962.
Omega Nunatak is an isolated, flat-topped nunatak 21 nautical miles (39 km) south-southwest of the Whichaway Nunataks, Coats Land, Antarctica. First mapped in 1957-58 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition and so named because it was the last rock outcrop seen, until Victoria Land was reached, on the transpolar route of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1957–58.
Wallabies Nunataks is a large group of nunataks near the polar plateau, to the west of the Churchill Mountains, Antarctica.
Gowan Glacier is a glacier about 15 nautical miles long in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica, flowing north from the vicinity of Cunningham Peak in the Founders Escarpment to enter Minnesota Glacier just east of Welcome Nunatak. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Jimmy L. Gowan, U.S. Navy Medical Corps, officer in charge and doctor at Plateau Station in 1966.
The Long Hills are a group of hills and rock outcroppings about 6 nautical miles in extent, located midway between the Wisconsin Range and the Ohio Range in the Horlick Mountains of Antarctica.
Kinter Nunatak is the southernmost of the Sky-Hi Nunataks in eastern Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1987 after Paul M. Kinter of the School of Electrical Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, who carried out research at Siple Station on VLF wave emissions and interaction in 1980–81.
Starshot Glacier is a glacier 50 nautical miles (90 km) long that flows through the Churchill Mountains to enter the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
