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.
Alderdice Peak is a peak 6 miles (10 km) southeast of Mount Underwood in the eastern part of the Nye Mountains.

Alderdice, a weather observer at Wilkes Station in 1959.
The Porthos Range is the second range south in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica, extending for about 30 miles in an east-to-west direction between Scylla Glacier and Charybdis Glacier. First visited in December 1956 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) southern party under W.G. Bewsher (1956-57) and named after Porthos, a character in Alexandre Dumas, père's novel The Three Musketeers, the most popular book read on the southern journey.
On the continent of Antarctica, the Aramis Range is the third range south in the Prince Charles Mountains, situated 11 miles southeast of the Porthos Range and extending for about 30 miles in a southwest–northeast direction. It was first visited in January 1957 by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) southern party led by W.G. Bewsher, who named it for a character in Alexandre Dumas' novel The Three Musketeers, the most popular book read on the southern journey.
Mount Underwood is an elongated mountain 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of Mount Flett in the central Nye Mountains. It was plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956 and 1957 and was named by the ANC for R. Underwood, a geophysicist at Wilkes Station in 1959.
Ward Nunataks is a linear group of nunataks 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Alderdice Peak in the eastern part of Nye Mountains, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for D.J. Ward, radio officer at Wilkes Station in 1960.
Watson Escarpment is a major escarpment in the Queen Maud Mountains, trending northward along the east margin of Scott Glacier, then eastward to Reedy Glacier where it turns southward along the glacier's west side. Somewhat arcuate, the escarpment is nearly 100 nautical miles (180 km) long, rises 3,550 m above sea level, and 1,000 to 1,500 m above the adjacent terrain.
Mount Denholm is a mountain 1 nautical mile (2 km) southeast of Mount Marriner in the Nye Mountains. It was mapped from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Denholm, a physicist at Wilkes Station in 1959.
Krasnaya Nunatak is a nunatak lying 4 nautical miles (7 km) south of Alderdice Peak in the Nye Mountains of Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was mapped, and named "Gora Krasnaya", by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62.
Trubyatchinskiy Nunatak is a nunatak lying 7 nautical miles (13 km) south of Alderdice Peak in the Nye Mountains, Enderby Land. Named by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62, for Soviet magnetician N.N. Trubyatchinskiy (1886–1942).
Pourquoi Pas Glacier is a glacier 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide and 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, flowing north-northwest from the continental ice and terminating in a prominent tongue 9 nautical miles (17 km) west-northwest of Pourquoi Pas Point. Delineated by French cartographers from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47. Named in 1952 by the French Antarctic Sub-committee after the Pourquoi-Pas?, polar ship of the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1908–10, later used by Charcot in expeditions to Greenland.
Mount Marriner is a mountain 2 nautical miles (4 km) west-southwest of Mount Flett in the central Nye Mountains of Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956 and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for A. Marriner, a radio officer at Wilkes Station in 1959.
McClary Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It flows southwest along the north side of Butson Ridge into Marguerite Bay between Cape Calmette and the Debenham Islands. The glacier was first roughly surveyed by the British Graham Land Expedition, 1936–37, and resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1946–50. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for George B. McClary, father of Nelson McClary, mate on the Port of Beaumont during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48.
Saturn Glacier is a glacier lying in southeast Alexander Island, Antarctica. The glacier is 15 nautical miles (28 km) long and 6 nautical miles (11 km) wide, flowing southeast into the George VI Ice Shelf of George VI Sound north of Corner Cliffs. Although the glacier is not situated within Planet Heights, its name derives from the nearby mountain range along with many other glaciers named after planets of the Solar System. The nunataks at the head of the glacier are also named after solar system features, for example the Enceladus Nunataks named for a moon of Saturn. The coast in this vicinity was first seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. The glacier was surveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the planet Saturn, the sixth planet of the Solar System.
Sarnoff Mountains is a range of mountains, 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and 4 to 8 nautical miles (15 km) wide separating the west-flowing Boyd and Arthur Glaciers in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land. Walgreen Peak forms the northwest extremity of the range.
Somero Glacier is a tributary glacier 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, flowing northwest from Mount Fairweather to enter Liv Glacier just south of the west end of the Duncan Mountains. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for George N. Somero, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) biologist at McMurdo Station, 1963–64, and winter 1965.
