The Prince Charles Mountains are a major group of mountains in Mac. Robertson Land in Antarctica, including the Athos Range, the Porthos Range, and the Aramis Range. The highest peak is Mount Menzies. Other prominent peaks are Mount Izabelle and Mount Stinear. These mountains together with other scattered peaks form an arc about 260 miles long, extending from the vicinity of Mount Starlight in the north to Goodspeed Nunataks in the south.
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.
Explorers Range is a large mountain range in the Bowers Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica, extending from Mount Bruce in the north to Carryer Glacier and McLin Glacier in the south. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, whose members carried out a topographical and geological survey of the area. The names of several party members are assigned to features in and about this range. All of the geographical features listed below lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Arena Glacier is a glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, flowing northeast from Mount Taylor into Hope Bay 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Sheppard Point, at the extremity of the Trinity Peninsula. It was mapped in 1948 and 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and so named by them because the flat ice floor of the glacier's upper half, surrounded by the steep slopes of Twin Peaks, Mount Taylor and Blade Ridge, resembles an arena.
Ball Glacier is a glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long with the head located between Mount Lister and Mount Hooker on the east side of the Royal Society Range. The glacier flows northeast between Craw Ridge and Tasman Ridge into Blue Glacier. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board after Gary Ball, a New Zealand mountaineer who climbed Mount Lister with an Italian field party, 1976–77, and camped on this glacier; he was field assistant with R.H. Findlay’s New Zealand Antarctic Research Program party to this area, 1980–81.
Banded Peak is a small peak which rises over 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) in the Duncan Mountains of Antarctica. This feature, which stands 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of Mount Fairweather has a distinctive snow band across the south face. It was named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1963–64.
Mount Bowser is a prominent peak, 3,655 metres (11,990 ft) high, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of Mount Astor at the north end of Fram Mesa, in the Queen Maud Mountains. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Carl J. Bowser, a geologist at McMurdo Station, 1965–66 and 1966–67 seasons.
Celestial Peak is a granite peak, 1,280 metres (4,200 ft) high, 8 nautical miles (15 km) north of Mount Blowaway in the Wilson Hills. It was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey Topo West survey party, 1962–63, and named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, which occupied the peak as a survey and gravity station. So named by NZGSAE because the party's first observations of celestial stars were made nearby.
The Freyberg Mountains are a group of mountains in Victoria Land, Antarctica, bounded by Rennick Glacier, Bowers Mountains, Black Glacier, and Evans Neve. Named for New Zealand's most famous General, Lord Bernard Freyberg, by the Northern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963-64. This mountain group includes the Alamein Range. These topographical features all lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Gunnestad Glacier is a glacier 13 nautical miles (24 km) long, flowing north between Mount Widerøe and Mount Walnum in the Sør Rondane Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named for Lieutenant Alf Gunnestad, a pilot with the Norwegian expedition under Lars Christensen, 1933–34.
Dow Peak is a peak located 2 nautical miles (4 km) east-southeast of Mount Sturm in the Bowers Mountains, a major mountain range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The topographical feature was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition to northern Victoria Land, 1967–68, for its senior geologist, J.A.S. Dow. The peak lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Fischer Nunatak is a nunatak, 750 metres (2,460 ft) high, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of Mount Henderson in the northeast part 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 named "Sornuten". It was renamed by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions for H.J.L. Fischer, a cook at Mawson Station in 1958.
Fopay Peak is a peak 5 nautical miles (9 km) northwest of Mount Macbain, on the south side of Cornwall Glacier, in the Queen Elizabeth Range, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Charles F. Fopay, a Weather Central Meteorologist at Little America V, 1958.
Graphite Peak is a peak, 3,260 metres (10,700 ft) high, standing at the northeast end of a ridge running 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast from Mount Clarke, just south of the head of Falkenhof Glacier in Antarctica. It was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) because of the graphite found on the peak.
Mount Merrick is a mountain, 1,120 metres (3,670 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Mount Humble in the Raggatt Mountains of Antarctica. It is about 20 nautical miles (37 km) south-east of Casey Bay in Enderby Land. The mountain was plotted from air photos taken by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956 and 1957, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Robert William Merrick, a geophysicist at Mawson Station in 1960.
McKinley Nunatak is the southernmost of three large nunataks in upper Liv Glacier, Antarctica, about 5 nautical miles (9 km) north-northeast of Barnum Peak. It was named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) for Captain Ashley C. McKinley, a photographer with Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his South Pole flight of 1929.
Mount Marsden is a bare rock mountain, 600 metres (2,000 ft) high, lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Mount Rivett in the Gustav Bull Mountains of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. On February 13, 1931, the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929–31) under Douglas Mawson made a landing on nearby Scullin Monolith. They named this mountain for Ernest Marsden, Director of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.
Mount Hinks is a rock peak, 595 metres (1,950 ft) high, rising 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) south of Mount Marsden in the Gustav Bull Mountains of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. On February 13, 1931, the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929–31) under Douglas Mawson made a landing on nearby Scullin Monolith. They named this peak after Arthur R. Hinks, Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, 1915–45.
Lumière Peak is a peak, 1,065 metres (3,500 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Cape Tuxen on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Third French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for Louis Lumière, a leader in photographic research and development in France at that time.
