Schwartz Range is a range of mountains trending in a NE-SW direction, standing 17 miles southwest of Edward VIII Bay, in Antarctica. It was discovered in November 1954 by R. Dovers and Georges Schwartz during an ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) sledging journey to Edward VIII Bay. Named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Schwartz, who was French Observer with ANARE at Mawson Station in 1954. [1]
The Prince Charles Mountains are a major group of mountains in Mac. Robertson Land in Antarctica, including the Athos Range, the Porthos Range, and the Aramis Range. The highest peak is Mount Menzies. Other prominent peaks are Mount Izabelle and Mount Stinear. These mountains together with other scattered peaks form an arc about 260 miles long, extending from the vicinity of Mount Starlight in the north to Goodspeed Nunataks in the south.
Seaton Glacier is a glacier 17 miles (27 km) long, flowing southeast into Edward VIII Ice Shelf at the northwest part of Edward VIII Bay. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, remapped, 1954–58, by ANARE and named by ANCA in 1958 for Flight Lt. John Seaton, RAAF, pilot with ANARE at Mawson in 1956.
Robert Glacier is the eastern of two glaciers in Kemp Land entering the southern part of Edward VIII Bay. It was seen by Robert Dovers and G. Schwartz in 1954 while carrying out a sledge journey and survey of Edward VIII Bay. The other (western) glacier is Wilma Glacier.
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.
Enderby Land is a projecting landmass 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.
Abrupt Island, also known as Brattöy, is an island 0.8 kilometres (0.5 mi) across, lying 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) east of Lang Island, east of the Øygarden Group and Edward VIII Bay. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and called Brattoy. The Norwegian name was translated by ANCA following a 1954 ANARE survey of the area.
Rippon Glacier is a small glacier located in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. It is close east of Seaton Glacier, flowing southward into Edward VIII Ice Shelf.
Wilma Glacier is the western of two glaciers entering the southern part of Edward VIII Ice Shelf in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. The second, eastern glacier is Robert Glacier.
The Doggers Nunataks are a group of peaks 30 nautical miles (60 km) southwest of Rayner Peak, to the southwest of Edward VIII Bay. They were photographed in October 1956 by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft and surveyed in December 1958 by G.A. Knuckey during a dog-sledge journey from Amundsen Bay to Mawson Station. The group was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for the members of the 1958 ANARE dog sledging party who were always referred to as the "Doggers."
Hoseason Glacier is a 12 mi long glacier, flowing north into the sea between West Stack and East Stack, 15 mi east of Edward VIII Bay, East Antarctica. Roughly mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. Visited in 1954 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) sledging party and named by ANCA for Richard Hoseason of Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE), who perished on a field trip at Heard Island in 1952.
The Cook Nunataks are a group of four nunataks at the northeast end of the Schwartz Range, in Enderby Land. They were mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) surveys and air photos, 1954–66, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for P.J. Cook, a geologist who visited the area with ANARE in 1965.
Trevillian Island is a small, oval, humped island 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Nost Island in Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Rundoy. Renamed by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for T. Trevillian, draftsman with the Division of National Mapping, Dept. of National Development, Canberra, who for a number of years was responsible for the compilation of maps for ANARE.
Edward Ridge is a gently rising, snow-covered ridge standing 13 nautical miles (24 km) northwest of Rayner Peak in Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1959, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Edward Nash, an aircraft mechanic with ANARE, under Phillip Law in 1965.
The Else Nunataks are a group of low, partially snow-covered nunataks 3 nautical miles (6 km) north of Mount Oydeholmen, on the south side of Wilma Glacier, Enderby Land. They were mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) surveys and air photos, 1954–66, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for H. Else, a pilot with ANARE, 1965.
Patricia Islands are three small islands 28 kilometres (15 nmi) southwest of Austnes Point in the west part of Edward VIII Bay. Discovered and named in February 1936 by DI personnel on the William Scoresby. The islands were mapped in greater detail by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. They were visited by an ANARE party under R.G. Dovers in 1954.
The McKinnon Glacier is a glacier flowing southeast from Nemesis Glacier to Beaver Lake in the eastern part of the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains in Antarctica. The area was first visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) party in 1956 and mapped from ANARE air photographs. The glacier was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Graeme W. McKinnon, Geographical Officer with the Antarctic Division, Melbourne, and Officer in Charge of the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in 1969.
The Medvecky Peaks are a group of peaks rising from the northwest part of Loewe Massif, in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. They were plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) air photographs, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for A. Medvecky, a geologist with the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1969.
Hays Glacier is a glacier flowing north into the head of Spooner Bay, Enderby Land, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photos taken by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1956, and was named for J. Hays, a United States observer with the ANARE which made a landing nearby.
Martin Island is a small island in the northern part of Edward VIII Bay, Antarctica, just off the south shore of Edward VIII Plateau. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and called "Utvikgalten". The island was remapped by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE), and was renamed by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia in 1958 for A.R. Martin, officer in charge of the ANARE party at Macquarie Island in 1948.
Rigel Skerries is a chain of islands and rocks in the northwest part of the Oygarden Group, lying in the south part of the entrance to Edward VIII Bay in Antarctica. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and called Utskjera. The group was first visited by an ANARE party in 1954; these skerries were renamed by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) after the star Rigel which was used for an astrofix in the vicinity.
