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.
Gutenberg Glacier is a glacier 8 nautical miles (15 km) long in the northern Holyoake Range of the Churchill Mountains of Antarctica. It flows northwest between Mount Hubble and Mount Richter to enter Starshot Glacier. The glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after German-born seismologist Beno Gutenberg, director of the California Institute of Technology seismology laboratory in the 1930s, and collaborator with Charles F. Richter in developing the Richter Scale, 1935, used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes.
Mount Grimsley is a small mountain 1 nautical mile (2 km) southwest of Mount Abbs in the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos taken in 1956 and 1960, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for S.W. Grimsley, technical officer (ionosphere) at Wilkes Station in 1963.
Durham Point is a small rock spur extending north from Mount Durham at the northwest end of the Tapley Mountains, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. The feature was visited in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn, and named in association with Mount Durham.
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.
Luck Nunatak is a nunatak 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Mount Caywood, in the Behrendt Mountains of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica.

Luck, a crew member of the R4D aircraft party which established a base camp in the Eights Station vicinity in 1961.
Mount Hussey is a mountain 2,790 metres (9,150 ft) high, rising from the spur at the head of Gruendler Glacier, in the Victory Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. 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 Keith M. Hussey, a geologist at McMurdo Station, 1966–67.
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.

Mount Van der Hoeven is a mountain (1,940 m) at the north side of the head of Boggs Valley, near the center of Helliwell Hills. It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Frans G. Van der Hoeven, a seismologist and leader of the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP)-sponsored Victoria Land Traverse, 1959–60. The 1,530 mile seismic and topographic traverse in Tucker Sno-Cat vehicles took a roughly triangular course, beginning at Hut Point Peninsula, Ross Island, and ascending to the plateau of Victoria Land via Skelton Glacier. From there a northwest course was followed on interior plateau to 71°09′S139°12′E. The party returned eastward, keeping south of the 72S parallel to 72°37′S161°32′E, from where the party was evacuated by aircraft of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6.
Mount Leech is a peak of the Walker Mountains, standing 5 nautical miles (9 km) northwest of Mount Hubbard in Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for entomologist Robert E. Leech, who participated in a United States Antarctic Research Program airborne insect program in the Ross, Amundsen and Bellingshausen Sea areas in the 1959–60 season.
