The Anare Mountains are a large group of mainly snow-covered peaks and ridges along the northern coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The group is bounded on the north and east by the Pacific Ocean, on the west by Lillie Glacier, and on the south by Ebbe Glacier and Dennistoun Glacier. They are north of the Concord Mountains and east of the Bowers Mountains.
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.
Isdalsegga Ridge is a rock ridge surmounted by Pinegin Peak, forming the east wall of Isdalen Valley in the Südliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains, 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 "Isdalsegga" in association with Isdalen Valley.
Alamein Range is a range lying west of Canham Glacier, in the Freyberg Mountains of Antarctica. It was named in association with Lord Bernard Freyberg and the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force by the Northern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64.
Armlenet is a ridge trending north–south for 3 nautical miles (6 km) between Stabben and Jutulhogget, forming the eastern arm of Jutulsessen in the Gjelsvik Mountains, Queen Maud Land. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and from air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1958–59) and named Armlenet. To the north lays Stabben
Barnett Glacier is a large glacier in the Anare Mountains that flows east along the south side of Tapsell Foreland into Smith Inlet, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica.
The Batterbee Mountains are a group of prominent mountains rising to 2,200 metres (7,200 ft), which forms part of the dissected edge of Dyer Plateau overlooking George VI Sound, on the west coast of Palmer Land. First seen and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on 23 November 1935, they were charted from the ground in October 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and named after Sir Harry Batterbee (1880–1976), Assistant Under-Secretary of State, Dominions Office, 1930–38, and Chairman of the Polar Committee in 1934, who gave help to the expedition.
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.
Oppkuven Peak is a peak 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) north of Gavlen Ridge in the Roots Heights, Sverdrup Mountains, in Queen Maud Land. Photographed from the air by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Oppkuven.
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.
Mount Kolodkin is a mountain, 2,525 metres (8,280 ft) high, standing 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southeast of Pinegin Peak in the Südliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39 and later mapped from air photos and surveys collected by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60. The mountain was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Kolodkin, designer of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen's ships the Vostok and Mirnyy.
Furdesanden Moraine is a moraine extending in a north–south direction for 17 nautical miles (31 km) along the west side of the Conrad Mountains in the Orvin Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was discovered and photographed by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was mapped by Norway from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Furdesanden.
Mount Paris is a conspicuous mountain, about 2,800 m, 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Mount Bayonne situated in the northern portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The mountain was first mapped by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Charcot, who named it for the French capital, Paris. The mountain was resighted in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) and charted as mountains, but subsequent study of air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, has caused the name to be restricted to this single mountain. Mount Paris is the third-highest peak of Alexander Island, while Mount Egbert remains second standing at 2,850 m in height.
Hall Cliff is a sandstone cliff 1 nautical mile (2 km) long, located along the south side of Saturn Glacier and 1 nautical mile west of Citadel Bastion in eastern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The feature was mapped from trimetrogon air photography taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, and from survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1948–50. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee from association with Saturn Glacier after Asaph Hall, the American astronomer who contributed toward the study of Saturn and also discovered the satellites of the planet Mars.
Mount Severtsev is a peak, 2,540 m, standing 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of Pinegin Peak in the Sudliche Petermann Range, Wohlthat Mountains. Discovered and plotted from air photos by 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 after Russian geographer N.A. Severtsev (1827–85).
Smalegga Spur is a small rock spur 3 nautical miles (6 km) south-southeast of Morkenatten Peak, Shcherbakov Range, in the Orvin Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norway from air photos and surveys by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Smalegga.
Snoskalkegga Ridge is a largely snow-covered ridge, about 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and surmounted at the north end by Kazanskaya Mountain, located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) west of Dekefjellet Mountain in the Weyprecht Mountains, Queen Maud Land. Discovered and plotted from air photos by German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. Replotted from air photos and surveys by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named Snoskalkegga.
Ristelen Spur is a rock spur about 5 nautical miles (9 km) southeast of the summit of Breplogen Mountain, standing between the flow of Vestreskorve and Austreskorve Glaciers in the Muhlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Plotted from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) and named Ristelen. It is also called Krylova Gora in Russia and simply Ristelen in Norway.
Sowers Glacier is a glacier that flows from the prominent cirque on the east side of Craddock Massif and continues between Willis Ridge on the north, and Sanchez Peak and Stolnik Peak on the south, to join Thomas Glacier north of Mount Osborne, in the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica.
