Dobbratz Glacier is a broad tributary glacier which drains the south part of the White Escarpment and flows northeast between the Watlack Hills and the Webers Peaks into Splettstoesser Glacier, in the Heritage Range. It was named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party, 1963–64, for Major Joseph Dobbratz, a United States Marine Corps pilot who supported the party.
Dusky Ridge is an ice-free rock ridge, 9 nautical miles (17 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, between Lieske Glacier and Hinton Glacier in the Britannia Range, Antarctica. The feature was named the "Dusky Mountains" by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) because of the lack of snow on its slopes. The name was amended to Dusky Ridge following remapping of the feature by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–62.
Falkenhof Glacier is a tributary glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, flowing west from the vicinity of Tricorn Mountain to enter Snakeskin Glacier northwest of Mount Clarke, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Jack J. Falkenhof, a United States Antarctic Research Program meteorologist at South Pole Station, 1963.
Ford Massif is a broad, snow-topped massif 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, forming the major topographic landmark of the northern Thiel Mountains in Antarctica. The massif rises to 2,810 metres (9,220 ft), is essentially flat, and terminates in steep rock cliffs in all but the southern side. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for geologist Arthur B. Ford of the United States Geological Survey (USGS). He was co-leader of the 1960–61 USGS Thiel Mountains survey party and leader of the 1961–62 geologic party to these mountains. Ford led geological parties working in the Pensacola Mountains in several austral seasons, 1962–63 to 1978–79.
Hålisen Glacier is a cirque glacier between Halisrimen Peak and Halisstonga Peak in the Kurze Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60) and named Hålisen.
Hessler Peak is a sharp peak, 1,670 metres (5,480 ft) high, at the south end of Dunbar Ridge in the Heritage Range in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Victor P. Hessler, an ionosphere physicist and United States Antarctic Research Program scientist at the Soviet Vostok Station in the 1965–66 and 1966–67 summer seasons.
The Marble Hills are a group of mainly ice-free hills in West Antarctica. They are located on the west side of Horseshoe Valley, between the Liberty Hills and Independence Hills in the southern part of the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains. The hills were named by the University of Minnesota Ellsworth Mountains Party, 1962–63, because the rocks in these hills are composed of marble.
Marck Glacier is a glacier flowing into the southwestern extremity of Cadwalader Inlet on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Aviation Machinist's Mate George H. Marck, an aircrewman in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas in the summer of 1946–47.
Schimper Glacier is a glacier in the east part of Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range, flowing north-northeast into Slessor Glacier. Photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1968–71. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in the area, named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Karl Friedrich Schimper (1803–67), German botanist who in 1835 originated the theory of the Ice Age in Europe to account for the distribution of erratic boulders.
Sponholz Peak is a sharp peak, 1,730 m, standing 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) south of Moulder Peak in Liberty Hills, Heritage Range, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Martin P. Sponholz, a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) meteorologist and a member of the winter party at Plateau Station in 1966. Sponholz is commemorated especially for his mathematical applications and formulas regarding inversion wind systems. Sponholz later served as a professor of physical sciences at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota, USA.
Levko Glacier is a glacier flowing from Pallid Crest to the eastern end of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It enters Seraph Bay between Tierney Peninsula and Simpson Bluff. The glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after G. Levko, Photographer's Mate in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas, 1946–47.
Lieske Glacier is a tributary glacier draining the north slopes of Mount Olympus in the Britannia Range, Antarctica, and flowing north between Johnstone Ridge and Dusky Ridge into Hatherton Glacier. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Bruce J. Lieske, a meteorologist who wintered at Little America V in 1957.
