The Jutulpløgsla Crevasses form a crevasse field halfway up Jutulstraumen Glacier, about 8 nautical miles (15 km) southeast of Nashornet Mountain, in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and from air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Jutulpløgsla.
Dickey Glacier is a glacier 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, flowing north along the east side of the Surveyors Range to enter Beaumont Bay, Ross Ice Shelf. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Captain Willie M. Dickey, U.S. Navy, commander of the Naval Support Units, Antarctica, at Little America V in winter 1957.
The Heimefront Range is a range of mountains in three groups trending northeast–southwest for 65 nautical miles (120 km), situated 50 nautical miles (93 km) west-southwest of the Kirwan Escarpment in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. The range was observed and photographed by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition in the course of air reconnaissance from Maudheim Station in January 1952. The name "Heimefrontfjella" was applied by the placename authority in the Norwegian government. This range may include the rudely mapped mountains identified as "Kottas Berge" on the map of the Third German Antarctic Expedition of 1938–39.
Mount Farley is a conspicuous rock peak, 2,670 metres (8,760 ft) high, standing at the west side of Scott Glacier, 3 nautical miles (6 km) east of McNally Peak, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was discovered in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn, and named at that time by Richard E. Byrd for the Hon. James Farley, United States Postmaster General.
Fernette Peak is a peak, 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) high, that rises above the south-central part of Roberts Massif in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Gregory L. Fernette, a United States Antarctic Research Program field assistant in Antarctica during the 1968–69 season.

Mizukumi Stream is a small meltwater stream 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) north of Hachinosu Peak on East Ongul Island, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in the 1950s, and named "Mizukumizawa".
Hei Glacier is a glacier flowing northwest between the Hamrane Heights and the Robin Heights in the Sverdrup Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39).
