The Framnes Mountains is a group of Antarctic mountain ranges in Mac. Robertson Land, to the south of the Mawson Coast. The range is surrounded by, and largely covered by, an ice sheet.
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.
The Intention Nunataks are a group of peaked nunataks between Solo Nunatak and the Forgotten Hills, at the southwestern margin of Evans Névé, Antarctica. They were named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1962–63, as the surveyor's intention to place a survey station here was thwarted by weather and other factors. The topographical feature lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.

Bewsher, who named it for a character in Alexandre Dumas' novel The Three Musketeers, the most popular book read on the southern journey.

This island was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Dr. G.M. Budd, a medical officer at Mawson Station in 1959.
Filson Nunatak is a small nunatak 6 nautical miles (11 km) east of Trost Peak in the eastern part of the Framnes Mountains, Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It was photographed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1958 and seen by an ANARE party in December 1962. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for R. Filson, a carpenter at Mawson Station in 1962, and a member of the party.
Hamner Nunatak is a nunatak lying west of the Warren Range, Antarctica, 5 nautical miles (9 km) west-northwest of Wise Peak. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1964 for Karl C. Hamner, a biologist at McMurdo Station, 1960–61.

Miller, a weather observer at Mawson Station in 1962.
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 South Masson Range is the southernmost of the three parts into which the Masson Range of the Framnes Mountains, Anatarctica is divided. It rises to 1,070 metres (3,510 ft) and extending 2 miles (3.2 km) in a northeast-southwest arc.
Lacroix Nunatak is a ridge of terminal moraine, about 1 nautical mile (2 km) long and 75 metres (250 ft) high, standing immediately south of a small zone of low rocky ridges which protrude above the ice-covered point 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Cape Margerie, Adélie Coast, Antarctica. It was discovered in 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, and was named by Mawson after French mineralogist Alfred Lacroix. It was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and surveyed by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1949–51, which established an astronomical control station near its center.
