The Queen Elizabeth Range is a rugged mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the Ross Dependency region of Antarctica.
The Geologists Range is a mountain range about 55 km (34 mi) long, standing between the heads of Lucy and Nimrod Glaciers in Antarctica. Seen by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1961–62) and named to commemorate the work of geologists in Antarctic exploration.
The Wisconsin Range is a major mountain range of the Horlick Mountains in Antarctica, comprising the Wisconsin Plateau and numerous glaciers, ridges and peaks bounded by the Reedy Glacier, Shimizu Ice Stream, Horlick Ice Stream and the interior ice plateau.
Hatherton Glacier is a large glacier flowing from the Antarctic polar plateau generally eastward along the south side of the Darwin Mountains and entering Darwin Glacier at Junction Spur. It was mapped by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58), and was named for Trevor Hatherton, Scientific Officer in Charge of Antarctic Activities at the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Wellington, New Zealand.
Astro Glacier is a glacier in Antarctica, between the Turner Hills and Tricorn Peak in the Miller Range, flowing northeast into the Marsh Glacier. It was seen by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) and so named because an astronomical station was set up on the bluff at the mouth of the glacier in December 1961.
Bartlett Glacier is a tributary glacier, about 30 nautical miles (60 km) long and 5 nautical miles (10 km) wide at its terminus, flowing northeast from Nilsen Plateau and joining Scott Glacier close north of Mount Gardiner. It was discovered in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn, and named by Richard E. Byrd for Captain Robert A. Bartlett of Brigus, Newfoundland, a noted Arctic navigator and explorer who recommended that the expedition acquire the Bear, an ice-ship which was purchased and rechristened by Byrd as the Bear of Oakland.
Bondeson Glacier is a glacier about 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, flowing north along the east side of Benson Ridge into the lower portion of Robb Glacier. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys (1961–62) and from Navy air photos (1960), and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for W. Bondeson, Master of the USNS Private John R. Towle during U.S. Navy Operation Deepfreeze 1964 and 1965.
DeBreuck Glacier is a glacier, 8 nautical miles (15 km) long, which is a southern tributary to Kent Glacier in the Queen Elizabeth Range. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William DeBreuck, a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Belgian glaciologist at the South Pole Station, 1962–63.
DeZafra Ridge is a narrow but prominent rock ridge, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, which extends north from the northeast cliffs of Longhurst Plateau in the Cook Mountains of Antarctica. The ridge is 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) west of Fault Bluff and rises 350 metres (1,150 ft) above the ice surface north of the plateau. It was named after Robert L. deZafra, Professor of Physics at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, whose research at the South Pole and McMurdo Sound provided breakthrough contributions to understanding the formation of the Antarctic ozone hole.
Turbidite Hill is a low nunatak that lies 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of Laird Plateau on the north side of Olson Neve. It was mapped by the Holyoake, Cobham and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1964–65). It was named after sedimentary features, called turbidites, which were reportedly found in sedimentary rocks of the Beacon Supergroup that comprise the summit of this hill.
Festive Plateau is an ice-covered plateau over 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) high, about 10 nautical miles (20 km) long and 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide, just north of Mount Longhurst in the Churchill Mountains of Antarctica. It was named by two members of the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) who spent Christmas Day 1957 on the plateau.
Mill Mountain is a large flat-topped mountain, 2,730 metres (8,960 ft) high, forming the eastern end of Festive Plateau in the Cook Mountains of Antarctica. This mountain was probably sighted by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) under Captain Robert F. Scott, who gave the name "Mount Mill," after British Antarctic historian Hugh Robert Mill, to a summit in the nearby Reeves Bluffs. This area was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy photography (1959–63). A prominent mountain does not rise from the bluffs, and since the name "Mount Mill" is in use elsewhere in Antarctica, the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (1965) altered the original name to Mill Mountain and applied it to the prominent mountain described.
Hamilton Glacier is a glacier about 12 nautical miles (22 km) long flowing from the northwest slopes of Markham Plateau in the Queen Elizabeth Range of Antarctica into Nimrod Glacier. It was named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1960–61) for W.M. Hamilton, Secretary of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.
Lowery Glacier is a glacier about 60 nautical miles (110 km) long, which flows north from Prince Andrew Plateau, Antarctica, along the east side of the Queen Elizabeth Range to enter Nimrod Glacier. It was named by the New Zealand Geological and Topographical Survey Expedition (1959–60) for J.H. Lowery who, as a member of a field party, suffered injuries when a Sno-cat broke through a crevasse bridge off Cape Selborne in November 1959.
Mount Moa is a mountain rising above 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) at the northern end of the Churchill Mountains in Antarctica. Located above Kiwi Pass and at the southern end of Kent Plateau, it was named after an extinct and flightless bird species in New Zealand, the moa. The naming is in association with the adjacent feature, Kiwi Pass, which was named after a familiar nickname for New Zealanders, the kiwi being also a species of flightless bird found only in New Zealand.
Mount Longhurst is a prominent mountain, 2,845 metres (9,330 ft) high, standing west of Mill Mountain and forming the highest point of Festive Plateau in the Cook Mountains of Antarctica. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) and named for Cyril Longhurst, secretary of the expedition.
Markham Plateau is a small, but prominent, high plateau in Antarctica. It extends south from Mount Markham for about 10 nautical miles (19 km) and forms the divide between east and west-flowing glaciers in the northern part of the Queen Elizabeth Range. The plateau was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with Mount Markham.
Kent Glacier is a glacier which drains the east side of Markham Plateau in the Queen Elizabeth Range of Antarctica, and flows east for about 15 nautical miles (30 km) to enter Lowery Glacier. It was named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) after the English county and the Dukedom of Kent.
