It was surveyed by FIDS in November 1960, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Athene (Athena), the daughter of Zeus and goddess of the city of Athens in Greek mythology.
Wishbone Ridge is a Y-shaped ridge trending northeast from the main ridge of the Duncan Mountains. The feature is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of Morris Peak and is unique among the series of ridges in the Duncan Mountains in that it bifurcates, giving an aerial view similar in shape to a "wishbone." The descriptive name was suggested by Edmund Stump of the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Ohio State University field party who, with C.E. Corbatoo and P.V. Colbert, geologically mapped the ridge on December 21, 1974.
Caution Point is a headland 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of Mount Birks, on the north side of the entrance to Spillane Fjord, which marks the east end of Austa Ridge that forms the north wall of Crane Glacier, on the east coast of Graham Land. It was photographed from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins on a flight of December 20, 1928, and named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey who charted it in 1947.
Chanute Peak is a peak in Korten Ridge on the east side of Lanchester Bay, 4 nautical miles (7 km) south of Wennersgaard Point, Davis Coast in Graham Land. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Octave Chanute, an American designer of gliders who first introduced moveable planes for the purpose of control and stability in 1896–97.
Nicholson Rock is a rock 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) east of Cox Bluff on the mainly snow-covered Spitz Ridge in eastern Toney Mountain massif, Marie Byrd Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-66. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Charles E. Nicholson, CE2, U.S. Navy, Construction Electrician at South Pole Station, 1974.
Mount Danforth is an ice-free, pyramidal mountain over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) high, standing immediately east of Mount Zanuck on the south side of Albanus Glacier, in the Queen Maud Mountains. It was discovered in December 1934 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Quin Blackburn, and named by Richard E. Byrd for William H. Danforth of the Purina Mills, St. Louis, a contributor to the expedition.
Punchbowl Glacier is a glacier that flows southwards between Poibrene Heights and Metlichina Ridge, and enters the north end of Exasperation Inlet, north of Jorum Glacier, on the east side of Graham Land, Antarctica. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947 and 1955. The name applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) is descriptive of shape as the glacier is hemmed in by mountains.
Dorchuck Glacier is a narrow glacier, 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, flowing northeast from Jenkins Heights between Klinger Ridge and Ellis Ridge into the Dotson Ice Shelf, on Walgreen Coast, Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959–67, and from Landsat imagery, 1972–73. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Robert E. Dorchuck, U.S. Navy, a nuclear power plant operator with the Naval Nuclear Power Unit at McMurdo Station, summer and winter seasons, Operation Deep Freeze, 1965 and 1969.
Poetry Glacier is a glacier flowing north and northwest into the east side of Venus Bay, north King George Island. So named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition, 1984 [in association with "Milosz Point."] Lodowiec Poezji is the translation of the English name.
Cape Fairweather is a cape in Antarctica that is 705 metres (2,310 ft) high and is ice-covered except for rocky exposures along its southeast and east sides. It lies midway between Drygalski Glacier and Evans Glacier on the east coast of Graham Land and divides Nordenskjöld Coast from Oscar II Coast. It was charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, which named it for Alexander Fairweather, captain of the Dundee whaler Balaena, which operated along the northeast coast of the Antarctic Peninsula in 1892–1893.
Hektoria Glacier is a glacier flowing south from the area around Mount Johnston between Mount Quandary and Zagreus Ridge into Vaughan Inlet next west of Brenitsa Glacier and east of Green Glacier, on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The Scar Inlet is an area of the Larsen Ice Shelf immediately northwest of Jason Peninsula, named after the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. It is bounded by Tashtego Point and Chapman Point.
Starbuck Glacier is a glacier 15 nautical miles (28 km) long, flowing east along the south side of Taridin Ridge and Padesh Ridge, and entering Scar Inlet immediately north of Mount Queequeg, on the east coast of Graham Land. Surveyed and partially photographed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947. The entire glacier was photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) in 1955-56, and mapped from these photos by the FIDS in 1957. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the first mate on the Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
Musina Glacier is the 7 km long and 3.5 km wide glacier on Oscar II Coast, Graham Land in Antarctica situated south of Green Glacier and north of Evans Glacier. Draining eastwards between the two principal branches of Rugate Ridge to flow into Vaughan Inlet, Weddell Sea.
