Fisher Bay is an embayment about 14 miles (23 km)wide between the eastern side of the Mertz Glacier Tongue and the mainland of Antarctica. It was discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Andrew Fisher, Prime Minister of Australia in 1911.
The Mawson Coast is that portion of the coast of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica, lying between William Scoresby Bay, at 59°34′E, and Murray Monolith, at 66°54′E. The coast was sighted during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE), 1929–30, under Sir Douglas Mawson. Further exploration and landings at Cape Bruce and Scullin Monolith were made during BANZARE, 1930–31. Mawson Coast was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after Mawson in recognition of his great contribution to Antarctic exploration.
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.
Enderby Land is a projecting land mass of Antarctica. Its shore extends from Shinnan Glacier at about 67°55′S44°38′E to William Scoresby Bay at 67°24′S59°34′E, approximately 1⁄24 of the earth's longitude. It was first documented in western and eastern literature in February 1831 by John Biscoe aboard the whaling brig Tula, and named after the Enderby Brothers of London, the ship's owners who encouraged their captains to combine exploration with sealing.
Mount Lawrence is a peak, 1,230 metres (4,040 ft) high, just north of Mount Coates in the David Range of the Framnes Mountains, Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Lawrence, a diesel mechanic at Mawson Station in 1959.
William Scoresby Bay is a coastal embayment at the western side of William Scoresby Archipelago, Antarctica. It is 8 kilometres (5 mi) long and 5.6 kilometres (3.5 mi) wide, with shores marked by steep rock headlands and snow-free hills rising to 210 m. The practical limits of the bay are extended 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) northward from the coast by island groups located along its east and west margin. Discovered in February 1936 by Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel on the RSS William Scoresby, for which the bay was named.
Point Williams is a point on the coast of Mac. Robertson Land at the east side of Shallow Bay. It was discovered by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson on 12 February 1931 and named after A.J. Williams, wireless officer on the Discovery.
Cape Bage is a prominent point on the coast between Murphy Bay and Ainsworth Bay. Discovered in 1912 by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Lieutenant R. Bage, the expedition's astronomer, assistant magnetician and recorder of tides.
Carstens Shoal is an almost circular shoal lying just north of East Budd Island, and just west of Moller Bank, in Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land. It was charted in February 1961 by d'A.T. Gale, hydrographic surveyor with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for D.R. Carstens, surveyor at Mawson Station in 1962, who assisted the hydrographic survey in 1961.
Chamberlin Glacier is a glacier on the east side of Hemimont Plateau which flows northeast into Whirlwind Inlet about 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of Matthes Glacier, on the east coast of Graham Land.
Mount Coates is a peak, 1,280 metres (4,200 ft) high, just south of Mount Lawrence in the David Range of the Framnes Mountains. It was discovered and named in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson.
Nella Rock is a reef sounding 4.57 m, situated 550 m from and bearing 81 from the eastern extremity of the largest of the Sawert Rocks, at the entrance to Holme Bay. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA). The rock was struck by the Nella Dan on 4 March 1969, on passage from Mawson Station to Melbourne. It is situated about 2 nautical miles west of the Canopus Rocks and 2 nautical miles southwest of the Hansen Rocks.
Nilsen Bay is a small bay just west of Strahan Glacier, and 18 nautical miles (33 km) east-southeast of Cape Daly. Discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson, who named it after the master of the Norwegian whaler Sir James Clark Ross which transported coal to Antarctic waters for the Discovery. On the map published in the Cape Daly and the Strahan Glacier is called Nielsen Bay. Recent examination of Mawson's notes shows that the bay was placed too far west and the name misspelled.
Swash Reef is a reef in the entrance of Bigourdan Fjord, close north of Pourquoi Pas Island, in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1956–59, and so named because most of the reef is awash.
Cape Daly is an ice-covered promontory on the coast of Antarctica, 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Safety Island and close southeast of the Robinson Group. It was discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson, who named it for Senator Daly of the Australian Senate.
Falla Bluff is a prominent rocky coastal bluff at the head of Utstikkar Bay. It was discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson, and named by him for R.A. Falla, ornithologist with the expedition.
Gerontius Glacier is a glacier flowing north from the Elgar Uplands into Tufts Pass in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977, association with the nearby uplands, from The Dream of Gerontius, a work for chorus, solo voices and orchestra by Edward Elgar.
Mount Mervyn is a very sharp peak standing south of the main body of the Porthos Range in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica, about 6 nautical miles (11 km) south of Mount Kirkby. It was sighted in December 1956 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party led by W.G. Bewsher, and named for Mervyn Christensen, a weather observer at Mawson Station in 1956.
Landmark Point is a rocky point lying 1 kilometre (0.5 nmi) southeast of Safety Island, on the coast of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions surveys and air photos, 1956–66, and was so named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia because it is almost due south from Auster Rookery and affords an excellent landmark if approaching the rookery along the coast from Mawson Station.
