Willey, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) geologist at Fossil Bluff and Stonington Island stations, 1966–69 and 1973, and awarded the Polar Medal for services to Antarctic Survey in 1976.
Apollo Glacier is a glacier, 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, flowing northeast and joining the lower part of Aphrodite Glacier 2 nautical miles (4 km) from the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Balch Glacier is a glacier 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, on the east coast of Graham Land, flowing southeast into Mill Inlet, to the south of Gould Glacier.
Beacon Head is a small headland at the north side of the entrance to Lystad Bay on Horseshoe Island, off Graham Land. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because a timber beacon built on the headland by Argentines was used during the survey on Horseshoe Island by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955–57.
Bertram Glacier is a glacier, 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 18 nautical miles (33 km) wide at its mouth, which flows west from the Dyer Plateau of Palmer Land into George VI Sound between Wade Point and Gurney Point.
Bucher Glacier is a small glacier draining the west slopes of Rudozem Heights and flowing to Bourgeois Fjord just north of Bottrill Head on the German Peninsula, Fallières Coast on the west side of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1958 for Edwin Bucher, Swiss glaciologist and author of many publications on snow and avalanches.
Krogh Island is an ice-covered island about 5 nautical miles (9 km) long lying close west of the southern part of Lavoisier Island in Biscoe Islands, Antarctica. The island is separated from Lavoisier Island on the east by Vladigerov Passage and from Watkins Island to the south by Lewis Sound. Its north coast is indented by Transmarisca Bay and Suregetes Cove.
Diplock Glacier is a narrow straight glacier, 10 miles (16 km) long, flowing eastward from Detroit Plateau, on Trinity Peninsula in Graham Land, into Prince Gustav Channel 5 miles (8 km) south of Alectoria Island. It is situated south of Marla Glacier and north of Zavera Snowfield. The feature was mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Bramah Joseph Diplock, a British engineer who made considerable advances in the design of chain-track tractors (1885–1913).
Trollkjelen Crevasse Field is a crevasse field about 12 nautical miles (22 km) long in the Fimbul Ice Shelf, lying immediately off the northeast side of Trollkjelneset Headland in Queen Maud Land. 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 Trollkjelen.
Mount Mirotvortsev is a mountain, 2,830 metres (9,300 ft) high, standing 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) northeast of Mount Neustruyev in the Südliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition in 1938–39, and was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60. The mountain was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1960–61, and named after K.N. Mirotvortsev (1880–1950), a Soviet geographer and explorer.
Hewitt Glacier is a glacier, 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, descending the eastern slopes of the Holland Range, Antarctica, between Lewis Ridge and Mount Tripp to enter Richards Inlet. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1959–60) for Leonard R. Hewitt, leader at Scott Base, 1959.
Mount Twigg is a large rock outcrop bisected by a north-trending glacier, standing 16 nautical miles (30 km) southeast of Mount Maguire near the head of Lambert Glacier. Mapped from ANARE air photos and surveys, 1956-58. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for D.R. Twigg, radio supervisor at Mawson Station, 1958.
Sørlle Buttress is a mountain rising above 1,370 metres (4,490 ft), between Mount Spaaman and Three Brothers in the Allardyce Range of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951-57 and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Petter Sørlle (1884–1922), a Norwegian whaling captain and inventor who, in 1922, took out a patent for his whaling slipway. Sørlle was the first manager of the United Whalers station at Stromness.
Russell West Glacier is a glacier, 11 nautical miles (20 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, which lies immediately north of Detroit Plateau and flows from Mount Canicula, Verdikal Gap and Trajan Gate westward into Bone Bay on the north side of Trinity Peninsula. This glacier together with Russell East Glacier, which flows eastward into Prince Gustav Channel on the south side of Trinity Peninsula, form a through glacier across the north part of Antarctic Peninsula. It was first surveyed in 1946 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for V.I. Russell, surveyor and leader of the FIDS base at Hope Bay in 1946.
