The Usarp Mountains is a major Antarctic mountain range, lying westward of the Rennick Glacier and trending N-S for about 190 kilometres (118 mi). The feature is bounded to the north by Pryor Glacier and the Wilson Hills. Its important constituent parts include Welcome Mountain, Mount Van der Hoeven, Mount Weihaupt, Mount Stuart, Mount Lorius, Smith Bench, Mount Roberts, Pomerantz Tableland, Daniels Range, Emlen Peaks, Helliwell Hills and Morozumi Range.
Utopia Glacier is a glacier in Antarctica encircled by Mariner Hill, Syrtis Hill, Natal Ridge, and Ares Cliff; the feature was named for Utopia Planitia on the planet Mars, which was the landing site of the NASA Viking 2 Lander Mission on 3 September 1976. This name was applied to the feature by members of the Mars Oasis Party who were searching for life on the glacier, much in the same manner as the satellite was on the planet Mars.
Uranus Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 30 kilometres long and 10 km (6 mi) wide at its mouth, flowing east into George VI Sound immediately south of Fossil Bluff. Along the south face of the glacier is an east–west escarpment called Kuiper Scarp.
Gilliamsen Peak is a peak marking the southeast extremity of the Staccato Peaks in the south portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The peak was photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Lieutenant Commander Donald A. Gilliamsen, U.S. Navy, aircraft pilot, Squadron VXE-6, Operation Deep Freeze, 1969 and 1970.
Belemnite Valley is a valley in Antarctica, 1.1 nautical miles (2 km) northwest of Fossil Bluff Base and bounded to the north by Eros Glacier. It is mostly snow and ice free with a central meltwater stream. It has been referred to as "Hollow Valley" in scientific reports in the early 1960s, and is sometimes referred to today as "Happy Valley". The name "Belemnite Valley" was proposed due to the preponderance of Belemnites found in the exposed rock in the valley.
Blodwen Peak(71°20′S68°22′W) is a peak on the Alexander Island, the largest island of Antarctica.
Bulken Hill is a hill, 2,220 metres (7,280 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) north of Balchen Mountain in the Sør Rondane Mountains. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named Bulken.
Neny Matterhorn is a sharp, pyramid-shaped peak over 1,125 m, standing in the northwest part of the Blackwall Mountains on the south side of Neny Fjord, Graham Land. First roughly surveyed in 1936-37 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, and resurveyed in 1948-49 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name was apparently first used by members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, under Ronne, and the FIDS, and derives from its location near Neny Fjord, and its resemblance to the Matterhorn.
Cronus Glacier is a glacier 6 nautical miles (11 km) long and 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide flowing northwest into Bowman Inlet between the Calypso Cliffs and Crabeater Point on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was photographed by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition on December 22, 1947, and roughly surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in December 1958. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Cronus, the god of agriculture in Greek mythology.
Kvitholten Hill is a snow-clad hill at the east side of Austreskorve Glacier, standing just south of Sagbladet Ridge in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Kvitholten.
Mount Deryugin is a mountain, 2,635 metres (8,650 ft) high, on Vindegga Spur in the Liebknecht Range, Humboldt Mountains, in Queen Maud Land. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Soviet zoologist K.M. Deryugin.
Elephant Ridge is a sharp curved ridge in Antarctica, orientated generally west–east, and extending for about 0.5 nautical miles (1 km), with the highest point at the center rising to 6,999 metres (22,963 ft). The northern slopes are snow and ice free, and the central point is situated about 0.7 nautical miles (1.3 km) south-southeast of Khufu Peak and 0.9 nautical miles (1.7 km) southwest of Giza Peak. Uranus Glacier forms the southern boundary of the feature. Elephant Ridge is referred to as "Man Pack Hill" in scientific reports in the early 1960s, and is locally known descriptively as "The Elephant". The summit resembles an elephant's head, with the ridge forming the trunk.
Eros Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 7 nautical miles (13 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide at its mouth, flowing southeast from the Planet Heights into George VI Sound immediately north of Fossil Bluff. It was probably first seen on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth, who flew directly over the glacier and obtained photos of features north and south of it. The mouth of the glacier was observed and positioned by the British Graham Land Expedition in 1936 and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948 and 1949. The glacier was mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the minor planet Eros in association with nearby Pluto Glacier and Uranus Glacier.
Giza Peak is a peak rising to about 600 metres (2,000 ft) on the east side of the Fossil Bluff massif, eastern Alexander Island, Antarctica. For many years this peak was known to the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) workers as "Sphinx," a name already in use. To avoid duplication, the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1987 applied the name Giza Peak to this feature in reference to the site of the colossal statue of the Sphinx at El Giza, Egypt.
Hall Rock is a large rock located 2 nautical miles (4 km) northwest of Carapace Nunatak at the edge of the polar plateau of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for geologist Bradford A. Hall who, with Harold W. Borns, did research on the so-called Mawson Tillite in this vicinity, 1968–69.
McArthur Glacier is a glacier between the Christie Peaks and Swine Hill, flowing west from Palmer Land, Antarctica, into George VI Sound. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Alistair H. McArthur, a British Antarctic Survey geophysicist at Stonington Island, 1967–68.
Spartan Glacier is a short valley glacier lying between Callisto Cliffs and Tombaugh Cliffs on the east side of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The glacier was first mapped by the Overseas Surveys Directorate from satellite imagery supplied by U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in cooperation with U.S. Geological Survey. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the British dog team known as "The Spartans," used in ascending this glacier, 1969. This is one of the few glaciers in Antarctica to be named after a dog team.
Kellogg Glacier is a glacier about 9 nautical miles (17 km) long at the base of Condor Peninsula on the east side of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The glacier flows southeast along the north side of Boyer Spur and merges with the north side of Gruening Glacier just inland from the northwest head of Hilton Inlet. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for geologist Karl S. Kellogg, a member of the USGS Lassiter Coast party in 1972–73.
Rubble Glacier is an ice filled valley in the Palmer Land region of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is surrounded by Giza Peak and the ridge connecting it to Baily Ridge to the north and Elephant Ridge to the south. Rubble Glacier is referred to as "Man Pack Glacier" in scientific reports of the early 1960s, but is now descriptively referred to as Rubble Glacier or sometimes as "Louis Glacier".
