The Scott Mountains are a large number of isolated peaks lying south of Amundsen Bay in Enderby Land of East Antarctica, Antarctica. Discovered on 13 January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Sir Douglas Mawson. He named the feature Scott Range after Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Royal Navy. The term mountains is considered more appropriate because of the isolation of its individual features.
Lützow-Holm Bay is a large bay, about 220 kilometres (120 nmi) wide, indenting the coast of Queen Maud Land in Antarctica between Riiser-Larsen Peninsula and the coastal angle immediately east of the Flatvaer Islands. It was discovered by Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in two airplane flights from his expedition vessel, the Norvegia, on February 21 and 23, 1931. The name honours Commander Finn Lützow-Holm of the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service, a pilot for Captain Riiser-Larsen on the Aagaard in 1935.
East Ongul Island is an island in the Flatvaer Islands off of Antarctica. It is 2 kilometres (1 nmi) long, lying immediately east of the northern part of Ongul Island at the east side of the entrance of Lutzow-Holm Bay.
The Flatvaer Islands, also known as the Ongul Islands, are a group of small islands lying at the east side of the entrance of Lützow-Holm Bay, 4 km from the coastline of Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (LCE), 1936–37. Many of the islands and their features were subsequently named by members of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE); unless otherwise noted, features noted in this article were named by JARE.
The Bōhyō Heights are a small, rocky elevation that overlooks the coast of Queen Maud Land 2 nautical miles (4 km) east-southeast of Cape Hinode. They were mapped from surveys and from air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62, and the name "Bōhyō-dai" was given by JARE Headquarters in 1973.
The Byvågåsane Peaks are three low aligned rock peaks which surmount the east shore of Byvågen Bay on the east side of Lutzow-Holm Bay. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37 and named Byvågåsane in association with Byvågen Bay.
The Langhovde Hills are an extensive area of bare rocky hills along the eastern shore of Lützow-Holm Bay, in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They are located just south of Hovde Bay. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (LCE) in 1936–37, and named descriptively Langhovde. Many other features were mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) of 1957–62, and subsequently named by JARE Headquarters.
Mount Futago is a small mountain with two peaks, the northern one being 240 metres (790 ft) and the southern one 245 metres (800 ft) high, in the northern part of the Langhovde Hills, Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62. The name Futago-yama, meaning "twin mountain," was given by JARE Headquarters in 1972.
Padda Island is an island lying near the west side of the entrance to Havsbotn in Lutzow-Holm Bay. The island and its named features were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. The island was named Padda because of its shape.
Mount Minami-heito is a mountain, 480 metres (1,570 ft) high, surmounting the southeastern extremity of the Langhovde Hills, on the coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62. The name "Minami-heito-zan" was given by JARE Headquarters in 1973 and is in association with the name of Mount Heitō just northward.
The Havre Mountains are a large group of mountains forming the northwestern extremity of Alexander Island, Antarctica, extending 20 nautical miles (37 km) in an east–west direction between Cape Vostok and the Russian Gap. They were first seen in 1821 by a Russian expedition under Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and re-sighted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99. They were roughly charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who named them for Le Havre, the French port from which the Pourquol Pas? sailed in 1908. The mountains were mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960.
Heitō Glacier is a small glacier draining westward along the south side of Mount Heitō in the southern part of the Langhovde Hills, Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62, and was named Heitō-hyoga for its proximity to Mount Heitō by JARE Headquarters in 1973.
Mount Heitō is a flat-topped mountain 495 metres (1,620 ft) high on the southeast end of the Langhovde Hills in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos taken by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62, and the name Heitō-zan was approved by JARE Headquarters in 1972. Heitō Glacier is a small glacier draining westward along the south side of the mountain.
Maigo Peak is a rocky hill situated 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east-southeast of Cape Hinode and just west of the Bōhyō Heights on the coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62; the name "Maigo-yama" was applied by JARE Headquarters in 1973.
Mount Schicht is a prominent mountain with several summits, rising 4 nautical miles (7 km) west-southwest of Ritscher Peak in the Gruber Mountains of Queen Maud Land. The feature was discovered by the German Antarctic Expedition under Ritscher, 1938–39, and named Schichtberge because of its appearance.
Skarvsnes Foreland is an extensive foreland surmounted by bare rock peaks and indented by several coves, protruding into the east part of Lutzow-Holm Bay, Antarctica. It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (LCE) of 1936–37. Its name means "barren mountain headland." Most other features on the foreland were mapped and named by LCE personnel, with a few others mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) of 1957–62. Unless otherwise specified, the following features were mapped and named by LCE personnel.
Mount Kammuri is a mountain 340 metres (1,100 ft) high standing 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) south-southeast of Mount Chōtō in the central part of the Langhovde Hills, on the coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62. The name Kammuri-yama, meaning "crown mountain," was given by JARE Headquarters in 1973.
Langhovde Glacier is a glacier at the east side of the Langhovde Hills, flowing north to Hovde Bay on the east shore of Lützow-Holm Bay, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, 1957–62, and named for its proximity to the Langhovde Hills.
