Thurston Island is a largely ice-covered, glacially dissected island, 135 nautical miles long and 55 nautical miles wide, lying between Amundsen Sea and Bellingshausen Sea a short way off the northwest end of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. The island is separated from the mainland by Peacock Sound, which is occupied by the west portion of Abbot Ice Shelf.
The Usarp Mountains are a major mountain range in North Victoria Land, Antarctica. They are west of the Rennick Glacier and trend north to south for about 190 kilometres (118 mi). The mountains are bounded to the north by Pryor Glacier and the Wilson Hills. They are west of the Bowers Mountains.
Borchgrevink Glacier is a large glacier in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It drains south between Malta Plateau and Daniell Peninsula, and thence projects into Glacier Strait, Ross Sea, as a floating glacier tongue.
Zykov Glacier is a valley glacier about 25 nautical miles long in the Anare Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It flows northwest and reaches the coast between Cape Williams and Cooper Bluffs. It was photographed by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (SovAE) in 1958 and named for student navigator Ye. Zykov, who died in Antarctica, Feb. 3, 1957.
Barkov Glacier is a glacier draining northeast between Mount Dallmann and the central part of the Shcherbakov Range, in the Orvin Mountains, Queen Maud Land. First photographed and roughly plotted by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, it was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Soviet geographer A.S. Barkov.
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.
Swithinbank Glacier is a glacier on the west side of Hemimont Plateau flowing north to the southeast corner of Square Bay, in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1946–59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Charles Swithinbank, British glaciologist, a participant in several British, New Zealand and American expeditions to Antarctica, 1949–62.
Stuttflog Glacier is a glacier flowing north between Mount Grytoyr and Mount Pertrellfjellet in the Muhlig-Hofmann Mountains, Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Stuttflogbreen.
Fuglefjellet is a mountain 7 nautical miles (13 km) east of Mount Roer in the Sverdrup Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and from air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Fuglefjellet.
Trollslottet Mountain is a high ridgelike mountain with several prominent peaks, forming the northwest limit of the Filchner Mountains in Queen Maud Land. Plotted from surveys and air photos by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Trollslottet.
Ekesteinen Rock is an isolated rock 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Smirnov Peak in the Shcherbakov Range, at the east end of the Orvin Mountains, Queen Maud Land. It was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named "Ekesteinen".
The Hamarglovene Crevasses are a crevasse field in lower Vestreskorve Glacier just east of Hamaroya Mountain, in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Hamarglovene.
Hamarøya Mountain is an isolated ice-free mountain in the middle of the mouth of Vestreskorve Glacier in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Hamarøya.
The Lokehellene Cliffs are steep rock cliffs which form the west side of Nupsskarvet Mountain, in the Kurze Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Lokehellene after Loki, a god of Norse mythology.
Mimas Peak is a sharp conspicuous peak, rising to about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) west of the head of Saturn Glacier and 9 nautical miles (17 km) west of the Dione Nunataks in the southeast part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was first seen and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. The peak was sighted from a distance in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and roughly positioned. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for its association with nearby Saturn Glacier, Mimas being one of the satellites of the planet Saturn. The peak and surrounding area were first mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Note that some maps incorrectly attach the name to a subsidiary and smaller peak off the east flank of the mountain. The name is actually attached to the highest peak in the Herschel Heights range.
Sandhøkalvane Nunataks is a group of nunataks located 4 nautical miles (7.4 km) northeast of Sandhø Heights, lying between the Conrad Mountains and Mount Dallmann in Queen Maud Land. They were discovered and photographed by the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938–39, and mapped by Norway from air photos and surveys by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Sandhøkalvane.
Stenka Mountain is a mountain, 2,350 m, forming the central part of Spraglegga Ridge in the Payer Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Discovered and plotted from air photos by the German Antarctic Expedition, 1938/39. Mapped from air photos and surveys by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60; remapped by Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960/61, and named Gora Stenka.
Horteflaket Névé is a névé at the head of Mushketov Glacier, between the Petermann Ranges and the Weyprecht Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. First plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, it was replotted from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named by them.
The Larsen Cliffs are steep rock and ice cliffs which form a part of the east face of Jøkulkyrkja Mountain, in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were plotted from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named for Per Larsen, a steward with the expedition (1956–57).
