Orion Massif is a prominent massif located in Palmer Land, Antarctica. It is 14 nautical miles long and consists of a complicated network of peaks, passes, ridges, and cirques. It is located 4 nautical miles east-northeast of Scorpio Peaks, between the upper parts of Meiklejohn and Millett Glaciers, and 5 nautical miles south of Goettel Escarpment.
Osechka Peak is a small peak, 1,740 m, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) south of Vorposten Peak in Lomonosov Mountains, Queen Maud Land. Mapped from air photos and surveys by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1958–59; remapped by Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named Gora Osechka.
طNye Glacier is a glacier on Arrowsmith Peninsula flowing southwest to Whistling Bay, in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1948-59. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for John F. Nye, an English physicist who has made theoretical contributions to the study of the flow of glaciers and ice sheets.
Werenskiold Bastion is a bold rock headland that rises very steeply to over 1,000 m and forms the coastline between Demorest Glacier and Matthes Glacier on the east coast of Graham Land. The feature was observed and photographed by several American expeditions: United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41; Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) 1947-48; U.S. Navy photos, 1968. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1947-48. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Werner Werenskiold (1883–1961), Norwegian geographer who worked on the theory of glacier flow.
Transition Glacier is a glacier extending along the east coast of Alexander Island, 8 nautical miles (15 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, which flows east into the George VI Ice Shelf that occupies George VI Sound along the north side of Block Mountain and Tilt Rock. The glacier was first photographed from the air on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. Surveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and so named by them because this glacier marks the transition between igneous rocks to the north and sedimentary rocks to the south.
Douglas Glacier is a glacier that flows east-northeast through the central Werner Mountains in Palmer Land. The glacier merges with Bryan Glacier just north of Mount Broome where it enters New Bedford Inlet. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Everett L. Douglas, a biologist at Palmer Station, summer 1967–68.
Feeley Peak is a peak, 1,730 metres (5,680 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Sheets Peak, between Davisville Glacier and Quonset Glacier on the north side of the Wisconsin Range in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Keith E. Feeley, a construction mechanic in the Byrd Station winter party, 1959.
Gerontius Glacier is a glacier flowing north from the Elgar Uplands into Tufts Pass in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977, association with the nearby uplands, from The Dream of Gerontius, a work for chorus, solo voices and orchestra by Edward Elgar.
Goff Glacier is a broad glacier flowing from Parker Peak into the head of Koether Inlet on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Lieutenant Robert G. Goff, co-pilot of PBM Mariner aircraft in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas, 1946–47.
Harbour Glacier is a through glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) long and 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) wide, lying on the northwest side of Wiencke Island and extending in a northeast direction from Port Lockroy to the cove 1 nautical mile (2 km) east of Noble Peak, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache. The glacier was charted in 1944 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who so named it because of its proximity to the harbour of Port Lockroy.
Hart Glacier is a small hanging glacier on the south wall of Wright Valley, Victoria Land, Antarctica, between Meserve Glacier and Goodspeed Glacier. It was named by U.S. geologist Robert Nichols for Roger Hart, a geological assistant to Nichols at nearby Marble Point in the 1959–60 field season.
Tindley Peaks is a group of peaks rising to about 760 m between Christie Peaks and McArthur Glacier in the Batterbee Mountains, on the Rymill Coast, Palmer Land. Named in 1977 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Roger C. Tindley, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) general assistant and mechanic at Fossil Bluff, 1973-75.
Mount Rendu is a mountain between Reid Glacier and Heim Glacier on Arrowsmith Peninsula in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1948-59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Louis Rendu (1789–1859), French Bishop and scientist, author of Theorie des glaciers de la Savoie, an important book on the mechanism of glacier flow.
