Coalseam Cliffs are rock cliffs forming the north-western part of Mount Faraway in the Theron Mountains.

Cranfield who, as one of the pilots operating with the CTAE, gave considerable assistance to the surveying party in this area.
Fuchs Dome is a large ice-covered dome rising over 1,525 metres (5,000 ft), between Stratton Glacier and Gordon Glacier in the central part of the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. It was first mapped in 1957 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) and named for Sir Vivian E. Fuchs, leader of the CTAE 1955–58.
Mount Frontz is a prominent mountain in the western Wisconsin Range, Antarctica. It is 2,010 metres (6,600 ft) high, and rises between Mount Vito and Griffith Peak on the east side of Reedy Glacier. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander Leroy Frontz, an aircraft commander during U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze 1966 and 1967.

Mount Moa is a mountain rising above 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) at the northern end of the Churchill Mountains in Antarctica. Located above Kiwi Pass and at the southern end of Kent Plateau, it was named after an extinct and flightless bird species in New Zealand, the moa. The naming is in association with the adjacent feature, Kiwi Pass, which was named after a familiar nickname for New Zealanders, the kiwi being also a species of flightless bird found only in New Zealand.
The Lister Heights are rock heights on the east side of Stratton Glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) southwest of Flat Top in the western part of the Shackleton Range, Antarctica.

The chain was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Squadron Leader John H. Lewis, Royal Air Force (RAF), senior pilot of the RAF contingent of the CTAE, 1956–58.
The Ark is a rock summit, 1,790 m (5,870 ft), in the central part of the Read Mountains, in the Shackleton Range in Antarctica. First mapped in 1957 by the CTAE. The name, given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), is descriptive of its shape when viewed from the west.
Mount Macdonald is a peak rising to 3,630 metres (11,910 ft) surmounting the massive N-S trending ridge between Ludeman Glacier and Pain Neve in the Commonwealth Range.
