The Darwin Mountains are a group of mountains between the Darwin Glacier and Hatherton Glacier in Antarctica. They were discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) and named for Major Leonard Darwin, at that time Honorary Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society. They are south of the Cook Mountains and north of the Britannia Range
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 Prince Charles Mountains are a major group of mountains in Mac. Robertson Land in Antarctica, including the Athos Range, the Porthos Range, and the Aramis Range. The highest peak is Mount Menzies, with a height of 3,228 m (10,591 ft). Other prominent peaks are Mount Izabelle and Mount Stinear. These mountains, together with other scattered peaks, form an arc about 420 km (260 mi) long, extending from the vicinity of Mount Starlight in the north to Goodspeed Nunataks in the south.
The Grove Mountains are a large, scattered group of mountains and nunataks extending over an area of approximately 40 by 20 miles, located 100 miles (160 km) east of the Mawson Escarpment in American Highland, Antarctica. They were first photographed from the air by aircraft of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Squadron Leader I.L. Grove, a Royal Australian Air Force pilot with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, who made a November 1958 landing in these mountains.
Enigma Peak is a peak, 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) high, surmounting Fournier Ridge in the Desko Mountains, on Rothschild Island in Antarctica. It was probably seen from a distance by F. Bellingshausen in 1821, Jean-Baptiste Charcot in 1909, and the British Graham Land Expedition in 1936. It was observed and photographed from the air by the U.S. Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and was mapped as the prominent northwestern peak of the island. It was mapped in greater detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960, and from U.S. Landsat imagery of February 1975. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because of difficulty in identifying the peak during the map compilation.
Boyd Nunatak is a small nunatak 8 nautical miles (15 km) southeast of Mount Caroline Mikkelsen, on the south side of Publications Ice Shelf. It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, remapped by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J.S. Boyd, a physicist at Wilkes Station in 1965.
The Bryse Peaks are the twin peaks of a small nunatak, located 4 nautical miles (7 km) north-northeast of Mason Peaks in the Grove Mountains. The nunatak was mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos, 1956–60, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for R.A. Bryse, topographic draftsman, Division of National Mapping, Australian Department of National Development, who has contributed substantially to the production of Antarctic maps.
Cooke Glacier is a glacier about 6 nautical miles (11 km) long flowing north from the northern end of the Fletcher Peninsula. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Kirsten Cooke Healey, of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole, Massachusetts, a computer graphics specialist from the mid-1990s onwards for the USGS project that is compiling the Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers and 25 Glaciological and Coastal-Change Maps of Antarctica.
Cooke Peak is a somewhat elongated mountain surmounted by a central peak, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) northwest of the Bode Nunataks in the Grove Mountains. It was mapped from air photos, 1956–60, by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for D.J. Cooke, a cosmic ray physicist at Mawson Station, 1963.
The Davey Nunataks are a group of seven nunatak lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Mount Harding in the Grove Mountains. They were mapped by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions from air photos, 1956–60, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for S.L. Davey, a topographic draftsman with the Division of National Mapping, Australian Department of National Development, who contributed substantially to the production of Antarctic maps.
Jutulhogget, also known as Jutulhogget Peak, is a high peak in the eastern ridge of Jutulsessen Mountain, in the Gjelsvik Mountains of Queen Maud Land. 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 (1958–59) and named after Jutulhogget, Norway's largest canyon.
Kukri Hills is a prominent east-west trending range, about 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) high, forming the divide between Ferrar Glacier on the south and Taylor Glacier and Taylor Valley on the north, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. They are south of the Asgard Range, east of the Quartermain Mountains and north of the Royal Society Range.
The Gösta Peaks are the northeastern peaks of the Liljequist Heights, in the southern part of Ahlmann Ridge in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were 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), and were named for Gösta Hjalmar Liljequist, a Swedish meteorologist with the NBSAE.
Hålisen Glacier is a cirque glacier between Halisstonga Peak and Halisrimen Peak in the Kurze Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) and named Hålisen.
Long Peak is a bare rock peak, 1,200 metres (4,000 ft) high, on the extended ridge line, 7 nautical miles (13 km) east-northeast of Mount Landolt in the Petvar Heights of the southeast Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica. It overlooks the lower courses of Drama Glacier to the north and Gabare Glacier to the south. The peak was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs from 1957 to 1959, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1984 after James W. Long, a National Science Foundation physician and consultant on Antarctic health matters for 10 years.
McHugo Peak is a prominent peak rising to 1,250 metres (4,100 ft), marking the northwestern extremity of the Traverse Mountains on the Rymill Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The peak was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1966, and was surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1971–72. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after M. Barbara McHugo, Senior Map Officer at the Directorate of Overseas Surveys, 1958–86, with responsibility for Antarctic mapping, 1960–1984.
The Melvold Nunataks are a group of small nunataks located 14 nautical miles (26 km) west of Mount Harding in the Grove Mountains of Antarctica. They were mapped by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions from air photos, 1956–60, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for C.D. Melvold, a radio officer at Mawson Station in 1962.
The Mason Peaks are a prominent serrated ridge with several peaks, standing 8 nautical miles (15 km) northwest of Mount Harding in the Grove Mountains of Antarctica. The feature was mapped by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions from air photos, 1956–60, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for A.C. Mason, a topographic draftsman at the Division of National Mapping, Australian Department of National Development, who has contributed substantially to the compilation of Antarctic maps.
Saint Johns Range is a crescent-shaped mountain range about 20 nautical miles long, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It is bounded on the north by the Cotton Glacier, Miller Glacier and Debenham Glacier, and on the south by Victoria Valley and the Victoria Upper Glacier and Victoria Lower Glacier.
