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.
Alamein Range is a mountain range lying west of Canham Glacier, in the Freyberg Mountains of Antarctica. 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.
Lavett Bluff is a rock bluff between Deacock Glacier and Fiftyone Glacier on the south side of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. It was surveyed in 1948 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) and named "Cape Lavett" for Lieutenant John L. Lavett, Royal Australian Navy, one of the officers on HMAS Labuan, the relief ship for the expedition. Further ANARE exploration led to revision of the name in 1964 to Lavett Bluff.
Mount Blair is a small but conspicuous mountain, 2,120 metres (6,960 ft) high, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) northwest of Mount Weihaupt in the Outback Nunataks, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The topographical feature was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Terence T. Blair, former biologist who contributed to his biological studies at McMurdo Station, Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, during the Summer of 1966–67. The mountain lies on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
The Gruber Mountains are a small group of mountains consisting of a main massif and several rocky outliers, forming the northeast portion of the Wohlthat Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (GerAE), 1938–39, under Alfred Ritscher. The mountains were remapped by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, who named them for Otto von Gruber, the German cartographer who compiled maps of this area from air photos taken by the GerAE. This feature is not to be confused with "Gruber-Berge," an unidentified toponym applied by the GerAE in northern the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains.
Mount Jennings is a peak rising to about 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) immediately south of Mount Roy in the Barker Range of the Victory Mountains, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Peter Jennings, a field assistant and mechanic with the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition Evans Névé field party, 1971–72.
Mount Dewar is a mountain rising to about 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) to the southwest of Aronson Corner in the Pioneers Escarpment, Shackleton Range. It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1967 and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey from 1968–71. In association with the names of pioneers of polar life and travel grouped in this area, it was named in 1971 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Sir James Dewar, a Scottish chemist and physicist who invented the thermos flask about 1892.
Gluvrekletten Peak is a peak, 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) high, between Terningskarvet Mountain and Nupskammen Ridge in the Gjelsvik Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Gluvrekletten.
Mount Morrison is a mountain, 1,895 metres (6,220 ft) high, standing between Midship Glacier and the head of Cleveland Glacier in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04) and named after J.D. Morrison of the Morning, a relief ship to the expedition.
The Hamrane Heights are ice-free heights between Skarsdalen Valley and Hei Glacier in the Sverdrup Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39). The heights were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and from air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Hamrane.
Mount Loewe is the most northerly of the Amery Peaks, rising to 1,130 metres (3,700 ft) 6 nautical miles (11 km) northeast of Mount Seaton in the eastern Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) southern party led by W.G. Bewsher in 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Fritz Loewe, a member of the ANARE reconnaissance party in the Wyatt Earp, 1947–48, and the Australian observer with the French Expedition on the Adélie Coast, 1951–52.
Mount Maere is a mountain, 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) high, on the west side of Norsk Polarinstitutt Glacier immediately southwest of Mount Bastin, in the Belgica Mountains of Antarctica.
