Lambert Glacier is a major glacier in East Antarctica. At about 80 km (50 mi) wide, over 400 km (250 mi) long, and about 2,500 m (8,200 ft) deep, it is the world's largest glacier. It drains 8% of the Antarctic ice sheet to the east and south of the Prince Charles Mountains and flows northward to the Amery Ice Shelf. It flows in part of Lambert Graben and exits the continent at Prydz Bay.
The Scott Mountains are a large number of isolated peaks lying south of Amundsen Bay in Enderby Land of East Antarctica, Antarctica. Discovered on 13 January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Sir Douglas Mawson. He named the feature Scott Range after Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Royal Navy. The term mountains is considered more appropriate because of the isolation of its individual features.
Kvaevefjellet Mountain is an elongated mountain, about 6 miles (10 km) long and surmounted by Mount Fučík, which has been eroded by the ice into a series of spurs that enclose small cirques, standing at the north end of the Payer Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was replotted from air photos and surveys, and named, by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60. Aurkvaevane Cirques, a set of three cirques, indents the bottom of the mountain.
Aurkleven Cirque is a large cirque, the bottom of which is partially covered with moraine, between Kubus Mountain and Klevekampen Mountain in the Filchner Mountains of Queen Maud Land. It was plotted from surveys and from air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named "Aurkleven".
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.
Svarthornbotnen Cirque is a large cirque just northeast of Store Svarthorn Peak in the Mittlere Petermann Range, Wohlthat Mountains in Antarctica. Discovered and plotted from air photos by German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. Replotted by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Svarthornbotnen.
Kråsen Crevasse Field is a crevasse field about 15 nautical miles (30 km) long in the lower part of Jutulstraumen 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 air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Kråsen.
Krasheninnikov Peak is a peak, 2,525 metres (8,280 ft) high, on the south side of the Svarthausane Crags in the Südliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains, Antarctica.

Kubusdaelda is a steep, ice-filled ravine between Kubus Mountain and Klevekampen Mountain in the Filchner Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Kubusdaelda in association with Kubus Mountain.
Kubusdalen is an ice-filled valley between Trollslottet Mountain and Kubus Mountain in the Filchner Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Kubusdalen in association with Kubus Mountain.
Gygra Peak is a rock peak, 1,980 metres (6,500 ft) high, just west of Risen Peak in the Gjelsvik Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Gygra.
Fred Cirque is a large cirque in the west side of Roots Heights, 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 (NBSAE) (1949–52) and from air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59). It was named for Ernest Frederick Roots, chief geologist with the NBSAE.
Gråkammen Ridge is a mountainous ridge that includes Tambovskaya Peak and Mount Solov'yev, rising between the Gråhorna Peaks and Aurdalen Valley in the Westliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains in Antarctica. It was discovered and 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 Gråkammen.
The Mjøllkvaevane Cirques are a series of small snow-filled cirques that indent the east side of Kvaevefjellet Mountain in the Payer Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were plotted from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60.
Mount Schicht is a prominent mountain with several summits, rising 4 nautical miles (7 km) west-southwest of Ritscher Peak in the Gruber Mountains of Queen Maud Land. The feature was discovered by the German Antarctic Expedition under Ritscher, 1938–39, and named Schichtberge because of its appearance.
The Småkovane Cirques are two cirques, separated by a narrow ridge, indenting the northeast side of Breplogen Mountain in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land in Antarctica.
Kazanskaya Mountain is a mountain, 2,690 metres (8,830 ft) high, forming the northern end of Snøskalkegga Ridge in the Weyprecht Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, and was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60. It was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and possibly named after the Russian city of Kazan.
