Scullin Monolith is a crescent-shaped rock fronting the sea 6 km (3.7 mi) west of the similar Murray Monolith, and 8 km (5.0 mi) from Torlyn Mountain, in Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. Early in January 1930 the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Douglas Mawson made an aerial flight from the ship over the area. Mawson set foot on the rock on 13 February 1931 and named it for James Scullin, Prime Minister of Australia in 1929 - 31. The rock was charted in January and February 1931 from Norwegian whale catchers exploring the coast, and named "Mount Klarius Mikkelsen" for Captain Klarius Mikkelsen, master of the whale catcher Torlyn. Mikkelsen Peak is retained as the name of the highest peak of the outcrop.
Mertz Glacier is a heavily crevassed glacier in George V Coast of East Antarctica. It is the source of a glacial prominence that historically has extended northward into the Southern Ocean, the Mertz Glacial Tongue. It is named in honor of the Swiss explorer Xavier Mertz.
Rayner Glacier is a prominent glacier, 19 kilometres (10 nmi) wide, flowing north to the coast of Enderby Land just west of Condon Hills. It was sighted in October 1956 by Squadron Leader D. Leckie during a flight in an ANARE Beaver aircraft, and named by ANCA for J.M. Rayner, Director of the Bureau of Mineral Resources in the Australian Department of National Development.
Jaburg Glacier is a broad glacier draining westward between the Dufek Massif and the Cordiner Peaks in the Pensacola Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66. The glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Lieutenant Conrad J. Jaburg, U.S. Navy, a helicopter pilot with the Ellsworth Station winter party, 1957.
Assender Glacier is a glacier flowing west into Spooner Bay in Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Pilot Officer Ken J. Assender, RAAF, pilot at Mawson Station in 1959.
Posadowsky Glacier is a glacier about 9 nautical miles long, flowing north to Posadowsky Bay immediately east of Gaussberg. Posadowsky Bay is an open embayment, located just east of the West Ice Shelf and fronting on the Davis Sea in Kaiser Wilhelm II Land. Kaiser Wilhelm II Land is the part of East Antarctica lying between Cape Penck, at 87°43'E, and Cape Filchner, at 91°54'E, and is claimed by Australia as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Other notable geographic features in this area include Drygalski Island, located 45 mi NNE of Cape Filchner in the Davis Sea, and Mirny Station, a Russian scientific research station.
Cape Bruce forms the northern tip of a small island lying at the eastern side of Oom Bay, separated from the mainland rocks just west of Taylor Glacier in Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica.
Willey Glacier is a heavily crevassed glacier north of Creswick Peaks in Palmer Land, flowing west from Creswick Gap into George VI Sound. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Lawrence E. Willey, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) geologist at Fossil Bluff and Stonington Island stations, 1966–69 and 1973, and awarded the Polar Medal for services to Antarctic Survey in 1976.
The Amery Peaks are a group of peaks which extend for about 18 nautical miles (33 km) along the southeast side of Nemesis Glacier, in the eastern Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. They were discovered by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party of 1956–57 and so named because of their proximity to the Amery Ice Shelf.
Mount Bergin is a mountain, 700 m, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Mount Maslen in the Raggatt Mountains, Enderby Land. It was plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. It was named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for R.D. Bergin, radio officer at Mawson station in 1956.
The Boree Islands are two small islands 4 kilometres (2 nmi) west of Point Widdows, Enderby Land. They were plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after "boree", a vernacular name for some species of acacia found in Australia.
Mount Borland is a large, gently-domed mountain, standing 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Mount Twigg near the head of Lambert Glacier. It was sighted by Flying Officer J. Seaton, RAAF, during an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions photographic flight in November 1956, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for R.A. Borland, a meteorologist at Mawson Station in 1958.
Charybdis Glacier is a large glacier which drains northeast between the Porthos Range and the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains to the west side of the Amery Ice Shelf. It was discovered by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party led by W.G. Bewsher in December 1956 and named after whirpool monster Charybdis because of the considerable difficulty experienced in traversing this region due to the glacier.
Nilsson Rocks is a group of fairly low rock outcrops which enclose a meltwater lake, situated 17 kilometres (9 nmi) south of Fisher Massif in the Prince Charles Mountains.
Waratah Islands is a pair of small islands lying close to the coast about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Hannan Ice Shelf, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) after the Australian native plant Waratah.
Cape De la Motte is a prominent cape in George V Land in Antarctica separating Watt Bay and Buchanan Bay. Just to the south, the continental ice surface rises 520 metres (1,700 ft) at Mount Hunt. The cape was charted by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for C. P. de la Motte, third officer on the expedition ship Aurora. It has been conjectured that the high land behind this cape is "Point Case", which the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes saw from what was called "Disappointment Bay" on January 23, 1840.
Murray Dome is a dome-shaped rock feature about 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Mount McKenzie in the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photos taken in 1956 and 1960. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Dr. L. Murray, medical officer at Macquarie Island in 1963 and at Wilkes Station in 1964.
The Francis Peaks are a group of peaks and ridges 1 nautical mile (2 km) southeast of Mount Gordon in the Scott Mountains of Enderby Land, Antarctica. They were plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for R.J. Francis, a physicist at Mawson Station in 1961.
Manning Massif is a large rock massif between Loewe Massif and McLeod Massif in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photographs, and was first visited by a party from the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1969. The massif was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Manning, a surveyor at Mawson Station in 1967, and surveyor-in-charge of field survey operations during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains surveys of 1969, 1971 and 1972.
Raggatt Mountains is a group of peaks westward from the Scott Mountains, lying east of Rayner Glacier and north of Thyer Glacier. Delineated by ANARE from air photos taken by RAAF Antarctic Flight of 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Dr. H.G. Raggatt, Secretary of the Australian Dept. of National Development.
