Hansenbreen is a glacier 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, flowing north along the west side of Mount Nils Larsen in the Sør Rondane Mountains of Antarctica. It was roughly mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and remapped by them in greater detail in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47. It was named for Hans Edvard Hansen, a Norwegian cartographer who compiled these and other maps for Norwegian Antarctic expeditions.
Lorentzen Peak is a peak 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Vesleskarvet Cliff and 6 nautical miles west of Tommeliten Rock, on the west side of Ahlmann Ridge in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59), and was named for Bjarne Lorentzen, a cook with the NBSAE.
Mirnyy Peak is a prominent peak, 750 metres (2,460 ft) high, 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Enigma Peak in the northern part of Rothschild Island in Antarctica. It was presumably first seen from a distance in 1821 by the First Russian Antarctic Expedition, led by Fabian von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev. The peak was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and roughly mapped. It was mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947–48, by D. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. The peak was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the sloop Mirnyy commanded by Lazarev, one of the ships of the Russian expedition.
Knallen Peak is a small rock peak 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of Pyramiden Nunatak, at the east side of the head of Schytt Glacier in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named Knallen.
Setenuten Peak is a rocky peak one nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Petrellfjellet in the Muhlig-Hofmann Mountains, Queen Maud Land. Its elevation is 2,745 m. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60), and it is named because of its shape.
Småtind Peak is a small peak close southeast of Fasettfjellet, near the east end of the Borg Massif in Queen Maud Land. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition of 1958–59 and named Småtind.
Høgskavlnasen Point is a point which forms the southern extremity of Høgskavlen Mountain in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named Høgskavlnasen.
Høgskavlpiggen Peak is a peak rising from the western part of Høgskavlen Mountain, in the Borg Massif of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and named Høgskavlpiggen.
Hornet Peak is a sharp peak 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Snøhetta Dome, near the south end of Ahlmann Ridge in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1959–52) and from air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Hornet. Confusingly, it is located only a few kilometres from its near-namesake, Horten Peak.
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.
