Mount Valikhanov ( 71°49′S12°15′E / 71.817°S 12.250°E / -71.817; 12.250 ) is a mountain (2,800 m) standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Mount Mirotvortsev in Sudliche Petermann Range, Wohlthat Mountains. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Russian geographer Chokan Valikhanov (1935–65).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gruber Mountains</span> Mountains of Antarctica

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.

The Fitzgerald Nunataks are three isolated nunataks 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Mount Codrington, at the northwest end of the Napier Mountains in Enderby Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named "Veslenutane". They were photographed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956 and renamed by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Brigadier L. Fitzgerald, Director of Survey in the Australian Army, 1942–60.
