Sandnesstaven Peak ( 71°41′S9°39′E / 71.683°S 9.650°E ) is a peak, 2,030 m, at the north end of the Conrad Mountains in the Orvin Mountains of Queen Maud Land. From 1956 to 1960, the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition mapped the peak using air photos and surveys and named it Sandnesstaven (the sand point staff).

Simpson Glacier is a glacier, 6 nautical miles, in the Admiralty Mountains, Antarctica. It flows northward to the coast between Nelson Cliff and Mount Cherry-Garrard where it forms the Simpson Glacier Tongue.
The Inland Forts are a line of peaks extending between Northwest Mountain and Saint Pauls Mountain, in the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The peaks were discovered by Ervon r. Koenig and named by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04.
The Land Glacier is a broad, heavily crevassed glacier, about 35 nautical miles long, descending into Land Bay in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.

Rennick Glacier is broad glacier, nearly 200 nautical miles long, which is one of the largest in Antarctica. It rises on the polar plateau westward of Mesa Range and is 20 to 30 nautical miles wide, narrowing to 10 nautical miles near the coast. It takes its name from Rennick Bay where the glacier reaches the sea.

Sverre Peak is a small peak 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) off the north end of Pettersen Ridge in the Conrad Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Discovered and photographed by the German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. Mapped by Norway from air photos and surveys by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named for Sverre Pettersen, steward with Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1957–58.
The Grosvenor Mountains are a group of widely scattered mountains and nunataks rising above the Antarctic polar plateau east of the head of Mill Glacier, extending from Mount Pratt in the north to the Mount Raymond area in the south, and from Otway Massif in the northwest to Larkman Nunatak in the southeast.
Pitkevitch Glacier is a glacier, 20 nautical miles long, flowing north from the Admiralty Mountains along the west side of DuBridge Range in Antarctica. The glacier reaches the sea just east of Atkinson Cliffs, where it forms Anderson Icefalls. A portion of the terminus merges northwestward with Fendley Glacier.
The Eidshaugane Peaks are a group of peaks 1 nautical mile north of Eidsgavlen Cliff in the Humboldt Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.
Molar Massif is a large mountain massif immediately east of the Lanterman Range in the Bowers Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960–1964. The descriptive name was applied by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) because, when viewed in plan, the outline of the massif resembles a molar tooth.
The Morozumi Range is a mountain range in the Usarp Mountains of North Victoria Land, Antarctica. It extends northwest–southeast for 25 miles (40 km), with its northern elevations overlooking the convergence of Gressitt Glacier and Rennick Glacier.
