McHugo Peak is a prominent peak rising to 1,250 metres (4,100 ft), marking the northwestern extremity of the Traverse Mountains on the Rymill Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The peak was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1966, and was surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1971–72. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after M. Barbara McHugo, Senior Map Officer at the Directorate of Overseas Surveys, 1958–86, with responsibility for Antarctic mapping, 1960–1984.
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 to 1966, 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.
Hunt Peak is a triangular rock peak, 610 metres (2,000 ft) high, marking the north side of the entrance to Stonehouse Bay on the east coast of Adelaide Island, Antarctica. It was discovered and first roughly surveyed in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. It was resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who named the point marked by this peak for Sergeant Kenneth D. Hunt, a mechanic for the expedition's Noorduyn Norseman airplane in 1950. Further survey in 1957–58 by the FIDS showed no definable point in the vicinity and the name was transferred to the peak.
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.
Schmidt Hills is a group of rock hills, 15 nautical miles long, lying north of Childs Glacier and west of Roderick Valley in the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica.
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.
The Liberty Hills are a line of rugged hills and peaks with bare rock eastern slopes, about 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, standing 7 nautical miles (13 km) northwest of the Marble Hills and forming part of the west wall of Horseshoe Valley, in the Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. The Liberty Hills were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66. The name was applied by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with the name Heritage Range. The remarkable High Nunatak towers east of the Hills.
