Frishman, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at Hallett Station, 1966–67. The mountain lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Dorchuck Glacier is a narrow glacier, 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, flowing northeast from Jenkins Heights between Klinger Ridge and Ellis Ridge into the Dotson Ice Shelf, on Walgreen Coast, Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959–67, and from Landsat imagery, 1972–73. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Robert E. Dorchuck, U.S. Navy, a nuclear power plant operator with the Naval Nuclear Power Unit at McMurdo Station, summer and winter seasons, Operation Deep Freeze, 1965 and 1969.
Miethe Glacier is a glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, flowing northwest into Gerlache Strait to the south of Mount Banck, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The glacier appears on an Argentine government chart of 1952. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Adolf Miethe, a German chemist who introduced the first panchromatic emulsion for photographic plates in 1903.
Hamilton Bluff is a rock bluff on the coast of Antarctica, about 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of Palmer Point and 10 nautical miles (19 km) west of Mount Caroline Mikkelsen. It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. It was visited by I.R. McLeod, geologist with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Prince Charles Mountains survey party, 1969, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for R. Hamilton, a helicopter pilot with ANARE in 1968.
Loubat Point is a point forming the north side of the entrance to Deloncle Bay in Kiev Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. While probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, it was resighted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for a Monsieur de Loubat.
The Lorn Rocks are a group of rocks lying 12 nautical miles (22 km) west of the north end of Lahille Island, in the Biscoe Islands of Antarctica. They were mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and were so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the rocks are small, forlorn and deserted.
Miller Point is a black, rock cape rising to 250 metres (820 ft) and forming the north side of the entrance to Casey Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins in a flight on December 20, 1928, and named by him for George E. Miller of Detroit, Michigan. It has since been more fully defined as a result of flights by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, and by the flights and sledge journey along this coast from East Base by members of the United States Antarctic Service in 1940.
Martin Reef is a reef awash, lying 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of the coast of Antarctica and slightly west of Cape Fletcher. This reef was apparently encountered by Captain Carl Sjovold in the Norwegian whale catcher Bouvet III in January 1931, and by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Douglas Mawson in February 1931. It was named by Mawson for the boatswain of the Discovery.
Mount Markab is a striking mountain in Antarctica, with a pointed peak which provides a notable landmark. It is located on the north side of the Pegasus Mountains, about 10 nautical miles (19 km) northeast of Gurney Point, on the west coast of Palmer Land.

Thomas Cove is the cove south of Haigh Point, Danco Coast. It was first surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1956-57. The cove was named in association with Haigh Point, by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1985. It was named after Joan Ena Thomas, who was the personal assistant to the Secretary of the UK-APC Polar Regions Section at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, from 1948-62.

Varney Nunatak is an ice-free nunatak at the south side of the mouth of Harbord Glacier in Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1957–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Kenneth L. Varney, U.S. Navy, Equipment Operator at McMurdo Station during the 1965-66 and 1966-67 summer seasons.
