Leppard Glacier is a large valley glacier draining east between the Aristotle Mountains and Voden Heights, and flowing into Scar Inlet north of Ishmael Peak, on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The glacier was first seen from the air and photographed in part by Hubert Wilkins on December 20, 1928, and was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955. It is now clear that, on the photographic evidence of his outward flight, Wilkins gave the name "Crane Channel" to this glacier, and that on his return flight he photographed what is now accepted as Crane Glacier, perhaps thinking that it was the same feature. Since Crane Glacier has been retained for the northern of these glaciers photographed by Wilkins, the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee has named this feature for Norman A.G. Leppard, assistant surveyor with the FIDS, who surveyed this area in 1955.
Weertman Island is the largest and southernmost of the Bennett Islands, lying in Hanusse Bay. It was mapped from air photos taken by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) (1947–48) and Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956–57), and named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Johannes Weertman, American metallurgist who proposed a theory of slip of glaciers on their beds and has made important contributions to the theory of glacier flow.
Acosta Glacier is a glacier about 2 miles (3 km) long flowing north from Thurston Island just east of Dyer Point in Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Alex V. Acosta of the United States Geological Survey (usgs) in Flagstaff, Arizona. He is a computer and graphic specialist, and was part of the USGS team that compiled the 1:5,000,000-scale Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer satellite image maps of Antarctica and the 1:250,000-scale Landsat image maps of the Siple Coast area in the 1990s.
Colbeck Archipelago is an archipelago of numerous small rocky islands centered 1 mi northwest of Byrd Head, just east of Taylor Glacier, off Mawson Coast. Discovered in January 1930 and charted in February 1931 by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Douglas Mawson. Named by Mawson for W.R. Colbeck, second officer of the expedition ship, Discovery. Norwegian whalers who explored this same area in January 1931 named the group 4 mi to the north the Thorfinn Islands. The name Colbeck has sometimes appeared on charts for this latter group.
Breitfuss Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, which flows southeast from Avery Plateau into Mill Inlet to the west of Cape Chavanne, on the east coast of Graham Land.

It was named by the FIDS for Leonid Breitfuss, a German polar explorer, historian, and author of many polar bibliographies.

Mount Dewe is a mountain in the southeast part of the Hauberg Mountains in Palmer Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Michael B. Dewe, a glaciologist at Byrd Station, summer 1965–66.
Foley Glacier is a glacier about 4 nautical miles (7 km) long flowing north from the western end of Thurston Island just east of Cape Petersen.

Foley, of the United States Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia, a computer specialist and team member of the Glaciological and Coastal-Change Maps of Antarctica Project.
Mount Gobey is the highest mountain, at 3,125 metres (10,250 ft), in the Retreat Hills of Victoria Land, Antarctica, at the south margin of Evans Névé. This topographical feature was for the first time, climbed on December 26, 1966 by the Northern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1966–67, who named it for the party's field assistant, D.W. Gobey. The mountain lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Green Glacier is a glacier on the east side of Graham Land, Antarctica, 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, flowing from the plateau northeast between Dugerjav Peak and Rugate Ridge, and then east into Vaughan Inlet next north of Pirne Peak and south of the terminus of Hektoria Glacier.
Hahn Island is an island 1 nautical mile (2 km) long, lying 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of Mount Discovery, on the east side of Koettlitz Glacier, in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and Navy air photos, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1963 for Commander James Hahn, U.S. Navy, a public information officer on the staff of the Commander, U.S. Naval Support Force, Antarctica, for several years preceding 1963.
Mount Meunier is a mountain rising to 665 metres (2,180 ft) near the northeast end of the Kohler Range, Antarctica, 3 nautical miles (6 km) east of Mount Strange. The northern slopes of the feature are partly ice free and overlook Dotson Ice Shelf on the Walgreen Coast of Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1977 after Tony Kenneth Meunier, a cartographer and physical scientist with the USGS from 1972. Meunier was a member of the USGS satellite surveying team at South Pole Station, winter party, 1974, and a member of the ANSMET team in the Allan Hills area, 1982–83, initiating a plan for positioning, by satellite surveying methods, the location of meteorites discovered in field operations.
