Named in association with Lord Bernard Freyberg and the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force by the Northern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963-64. The mountain range is situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Alice Glacier is a 13-nautical-mile (24 km) long tributary glacier in East Antarctica. It flows east from the Queen Alexandra Range to enter Beardmore Glacier at Sirohi Point. It was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, under Ernest Shackleton, and was named for the mother of Eric Marshall, a member of Shackleton's South Polar Party.
Amos Glacier is a 3-nautical-mile (6 km) long glacier that flows southeast from Bettle Peak to a juncture with the Blue Glacier, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named in 1992 by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Larry Leon Amos, a civil engineer with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and a member of the USGS two man astronomic surveying team to South Pole Station and Byrd Station in the 1969–70 field season. Among other work, the team established the position of the Geographic South Pole and established a tie to the Byrd Ice Strain net which had been under study for several years.
Breitfuss Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, which flows southeast from Avery Plateau into Mill Inlet to the west of Cape Chavanne, on the east coast of Graham Land. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947. It was named by the FIDS for Leonid Breitfuss, a German polar explorer, historian, and author of many polar bibliographies.
Overflow Glacier is a steep tributary glacier spilling into Ferrar Glacier from the south, just east of Briggs Hill, in Victoria Land. Given this descriptive name by the Western Journey Party, led by Taylor, of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13.
Crescent Stream is a glacial meltwater stream, 2.6 nautical miles (4.8 km) long, flowing north from Crescent Glacier to the south-central shore of Lake Fryxell, in Taylor Valley, Victoria Land. It was named in association with Crescent Glacier. The name was suggested by the United States Geological Survey hydrologist Diane McKnight and was approved by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names and the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1994.
Datum Peak is a peak 1,575 metres (5,170 ft) high near the southwest extremity of Hobbs Ridge, rising above the south side of Gauss Glacier, 1.6 nautical miles (3 km) west of Williams Peak, in Victoria Land. The name is one of a group in the area associated with surveying applied in 1993 by the New Zealand Geographic Board. It was named from datum, a geodesy and surveying term defined by fixed coordinates.
Kukri Hills is a prominent east-west trending range, about 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) high, forming the divide between Ferrar Glacier on the south and Taylor Glacier and Taylor Valley on the north, in Victoria Land, Antarctica.
Turner Hills is a group of hills between Astro Glacier and Nimrod Glacier in the northwest part of the Miller Range. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Dr. Mort D. Turner of the National Science Foundation who has been Program Manager for Polar Earth Sciences, Division of Polar Programs, since 1959. Turner studied the geology of the dry valley areas near McMurdo Sound, 1959–60, and in several subsequent seasons served as United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Representative in Antarctica.
Pavlak Glacier is a glacier that drains east from the Queen Elizabeth Range into Lowery Glacier close south of Mount Predoehl. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Thomas L. Pavlak, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) glaciologist at South Pole Station, 1962-63.
Gauss Glacier is a steep glacier on the north side of Datum Peak, descending west from the southwestern extremity of Hobbs Ridge into Blue Glacier, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1993 after the German mathematician and astronomer Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Lister Glacier is a glacier on the east side of the Royal Society Range in Antarctica, draining northeast from a large cirque immediately north of Mount Lister. It derives its name from Mount Lister, and was surveyed in 1957 by the New Zealand Blue Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58.
Hobbs Ridge is a prominent arc-shaped ridge which circumscribes Hobbs Glacier to the north and northwest and forms the divide with the lower part of Blue Glacier, on the Scott Coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named in association with Hobbs Glacier. Projection Peak rises at its most southeastern point.
Spring Glacier is a glacier flowing from the northeast portion of Royal Society Range between Stoner Peak and Transit Ridge, joining the Blue Glacier drainage south of Granite Knolls, in Victoria Land. Named in 1992 by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Thomas E. Spring, civil engineer, United States Geological Survey (USGS); leader of the USGS two man astronomic surveying team to South Pole Station and Byrd Station in the 1969-70 field season. The team provided support to various science projects, established the position of the Geographic South Pole, and established a tie to the Byrd Ice Strain net which had been under study for several years.
Horseshoe Mountain is a mountain just west of Mount Fleming, standing on the north side of the head of Taylor Glacier, near the edge of the polar plateau in Oates Land, Antarctica, close to its boundary with Victoria Land. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, and so named because of its shape.
