The head of Beaver Glacier is located very close to the base of Mount King in Enderby Land. It was visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) party on October 28, 1956, and named after the Beaver aircraft used by ANARE in coastal exploration.
Enderby Land is a projecting land mass of Antarctica. Its shore extends from Shinnan Glacier at about 67°55′S44°38′E to William Scoresby Bay at 67°24′S59°34′E, approximately 1⁄24 of the earth's longitude. It was first documented in western and eastern literature in February 1831 by John Biscoe aboard the whaling brig Tula, and named after the Enderby Brothers of London, the ship's owners who encouraged their captains to combine exploration with sealing.
Vladimir Ivanovich Voronin was a Soviet Navy captain, born in Sumsky Posad, in the present Republic of Karelia, Russia. In 1932 he commanded the expedition of the Soviet icebreaker Alexander Sibiryakov which made the first successful crossing of the Northern Sea Route in a single navigation without wintering. This voyage was organized by the All-Union Arctic Institute.
Zubchatyy Ice Shelf is a small ice shelf which borders the south side of Sakellari Peninsula in Enderby Land. Plotted by Russian cartographers from air photos taken by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1961-62. The Russian name means "toothed" and refers to the serrated nature of the ice front when viewed in plan.
Sorevnovaniya Island is an uninhabited island in the southern region of the Kara Sea. This island is located in the Sorevnovaniya Bay, east of the Mikhailov Peninsula.
Wyers Ice Shelf is a small Antarctic ice shelf on the east side of the base of Sakellari Peninsula.
Slava Ice Shelf, is an ice shelf along the coast of Antarctica between Mawson Peninsula and Cape Andreyev. The feature was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy (USN) Operation Highjump in 1947. The area was photographed in 1958 by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (SovAE) which applied the name "Zaliv Slava" to the wide open bay that fronts this ice shelf. This name decision is in accord with the recommendation by ANCA that the name would be appropriately applied to the ice shelf. Named after the Soviet whaling flotilla Slava.
Cape Calmette is a cape marking the western extremity of a rocky peninsula which rises more than 625 metres (2,050 ft) and projects from the west coast of Graham Land for 3 nautical miles (6 km) to form the southern shore of Calmette Bay. It was discovered in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who from a distance mistook this cape for an island; the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, determined the true nature of the feature. It was named by Charcot for Gaston Calmette, editor of Le Figaro, who furnished the French Antarctic Expedition with copies of this newspaper for the two years preceding the expedition.
Wyers Nunataks is a group of nunataks at the base of Sakellari Peninsula, just west of Wyers Ice Shelf in Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956 and 1957. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for R.W.L. Wyers, glaciologist at Mawson Station in 1961.
Cape Sterneck is a bold, black cliff on a projecting point forming the west extremity of Chavdar Peninsula on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It is situated on the north side of the entrance to Hughes Bay and the west side of the entrance to Curtiss Bay, and separating Davis Coast to the northeast from Danco Coast to the southwest.
Cape Kolosov is a point along the west side of the ice-covered peninsula that forms the east side of the entrance to Amundsen Bay, Antarctica. It was photographed in 1956 from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft, and rephotographed in 1958 by a Soviet expedition. The cape was named after the polar aviation navigator V. Kolosov, who died in the Arctic.
Cape Streten is an ice cape at the northeast tip of Sakellari Peninsula, forming the west side of the entrance to Amundsen Bay. Plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in November 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Neil Anthony Streten, meteorologist at Mawson Station in 1960.
Cape Monakov is a cape on the west coast of Sakellari Peninsula, Enderby Land, Antarctica. The region was photographed by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956 and by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1957. The cape was named by the Soviet expedition after S. Ye. Monakov, a Soviet polar aviator who perished in the Arctic.
Lofgren Peninsula is an ice-covered peninsula about 22 nautical miles (40 km) long, projecting between Cadwalader Inlet and Morgan Inlet on the northeast side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. The northern extremity of the peninsula is Cape Menzel, a bold rock cape. These features were discovered in helicopter flights from the USS Burton Island and the USS Glacier of the U.S. Navy Bellingshausen Sea Expedition in February 1960, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names. The peninsula was named for Charles E. Lofgren, personnel officer with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928–30. The cape was named for Reinhard W. Menzel, a geomagnetist-seismologist with the Eights Station winter party, 1965.
Cape Markov is an ice cape on the east side of Amundsen Bay, situated 7 nautical miles (13 km) west of Mount Riiser-Larsen in Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62, for K.K. Markov, professor of geography at Moscow State University, and the author of a number of reports on Antarctica.
Khmara Bay is a small bay lying directly south of Zubchatyy Ice Shelf and Sakellari Peninsula, in Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was photographed by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition in 1956 and explored by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1957. It was named by Soviet expedition after tractor driver Ivan F. Khmara, who lost his life when his tractor broke through the ice at Mirnyy Station in January 1956.
Dingle Dome is an ice-covered dome rising above 400 metres (1,300 ft) and surmounting the north end of Sakellari Peninsula, on the coast of Enderby Land. It was discovered in 1956 during flights by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Robert Dingle, officer in charge at Davis Station in 1957.
