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.
Denman Glacier is a glacier 7 to 10 nautical miles wide, descending north some 70 nautical miles, which debouches into the Shackleton Ice Shelf east of David Island, Queen Mary Land. It was discovered in November 1912 by the Western Base party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Sir Douglas Mawson. Mawson named the glacier for Lord Denman, Governor-General of Australia in 1911, a patron of the expedition.
Cape Peremennyy is an ice point on the coast of Antarctica 45 miles west-northwest of Merritt Island. It is on the Knox Coast of Wilkes Land.
Zykov Island is a small island between Fulmar Island and Buromskiy Island in the Haswell Islands, near Queen Mary Land on Antarctica. It was discovered and first mapped by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Douglas Mawson of 1911–14 but mistakenly identified as part of Fulmar Island. Remapped by the Soviet expedition of 1956, it was named for Ye. Zykov, a student navigator who died in Antarctica on February 3, 1957.
Azimuth Islands are a group of 4 small islands lying 1.9 km (1 nmi) northwest of Parallactic Islands in Holme Bay, Antarctica. They share their name with the largest island in the group, Azimuth Island. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. So named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) because the largest island in the group was included in a triangulation survey by ANARE in 1959.
Achernar Island, also known as Utöy, is an island 2.8 kilometres (1.5 nmi) long, lying 1.9 kilometres (1 nmi) west of Shaula Island in the Øygarden Group. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Utoy. The group was first visited by an ANARE party in 1954; the island was renamed by ANCA after the star Achernar, which was used for an astrofix in the vicinity.
The Gillies Islands are three small, rocky islands protruding above Shackleton Ice Shelf 3 nautical miles (6 km) north of Cape Moyes.
Posadowsky Glacier is a glacier about 9 nautical miles long, flowing north to Posadowsky Bay immediately east of Gaussberg. Posadowsky Bay is an open embayment, located just east of the West Ice Shelf and fronting on the Davis Sea in Kaiser Wilhelm II Land. Kaiser Wilhelm II Land is the part of East Antarctica lying between Cape Penck, at 87°43'E, and Cape Filchner, at 91°54'E, and is claimed by Australia as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Other notable geographic features in this area include Drygalski Island, located 45 mi NNE of Cape Filchner in the Davis Sea, and Mirny Station, a Russian scientific research station.
Walkabout Rocks is a prominent rock exposure along the coast at the north-eastern extremity of the Vestfold Hills, about 0.5 nautical miles south of the Wyatt Earp Islands of Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37.
Budnick Hill is a small, rounded hill on the south side of Newcomb Bay on Budd Coast. The hill rises between Crane Cove and Geoffrey Bay and is joined by a narrow strip of land to the northern part of the Bailey Peninsula. It was first mapped from U.S. Navy Operation Highjump air photos of 1946–47, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for K. Budnick, Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions surveyor in 1964 at Wilkes Station, who set up a trigonometrical station on the hill.
Buromskiy Island is a small island lying 0.6 km (0.37 mi) south of Haswell Island in the Haswell Islands of Antarctica. About 200 m long and 100 m wide, it was discovered and mapped by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Douglas Mawson, 1911–14. It was photographed by the Soviet expedition of 1958 and named for N.I. Buromskiy, expedition hydrographer who lost his life in the Antarctic in 1957. It lies 2.7 km north of Mabus Point, the site of Russia's Mirny Station.
Campbell Peak is a peak, 2,415 metres (7,920 ft) high, standing 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km) northeast of Mawson Peak, the summit of Heard Island. It was surveyed in 1948 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE), who named it for Group-Captain Stuart A. Campbell, Royal Australian Air Force. Campbell visited Heard Island in 1929 as aircraft pilot with the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition led by Douglas Mawson, and again as leader of ANARE when a research station was established on the island in December 1947.
Stor Hånakken Mountain is a prominent mountain, 1,970 m, standing in the central part of the Napier Mountains in Enderby Land. The mountain was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken in January–February 1937 by the Lars Christensen expedition and named by them Store Hånakken. It was visited in 1960 by an ANARE party led by Sydney L. Kirkby.
Fulmar Island is a small island just south of Zykov Island in the Haswell Islands. It was discovered by the Western Base party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14), who plotted this island and the present Zykov Island as a single island. They named it Fulmar Island because of its rookery of southern fulmars. The Soviet expedition of 1956 found there are two islands, retaining the name Fulmar for the southern one.
Mount Grimsley is a small mountain 1 nautical mile (2 km) southwest of Mount Abbs in the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos taken in 1956 and 1960, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for S.W. Grimsley, technical officer (ionosphere) at Wilkes Station in 1963.
The Douglas Islands are two small islands 22 kilometres (12 nmi) northwest of Cape Daly, and 6 kilometres (3 nmi) north of Andersen Island, as well as 7 kilometres (4 nmi) north-east of Child Rocks, which are both part of the Robinson Group.. They were discovered by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson, 1929–31, and named for Vice-Admiral Percy Douglas, then Hydrographer of the Royal Navy. The islands were first sighted during an aircraft flight from the Discovery on Dec. 3 1, 1929, and reported to lie in about 66°40′S64°30′E, but after the 1931 voyage they were placed at 67°20′S63°32′E. In 1956, an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions sledge party led by P.W. Crohn was unable to find them in this position, but found two uncharted islands farther south to which the name has now been applied.
Poryadin Island is an island lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) south of Haswell Island in the Haswell Islands. Discovered and mapped by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Mawson, 1911-1914. Remapped by the Soviet expedition of 1956, and named for Ya. Poryadin, navigator of the ship Vostok with the Bellingshausen expedition 1819-21.
Cape Pepin is an ice-covered cape between Ravin Bay and Barre Glacier. Discovered in 1840 by the French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville and named by him for his wife Adele Pepin. The area was charted by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition in 1912-13, and again by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) in 1931, both under Mawson. The cape was more recently delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47.
Gorev Island is a small island lying between Buromskiy Island and Poryadin Island in the Haswell Islands, Antarctica. It was discovered and mapped by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition under Mawson, 1911–14. It was remapped by the Soviet expedition of 1956, and named by them for Demetri Gorev, a member of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, under Robert Falcon Scott.
Tokarev Island is one of the small islands in the Haswell Islands, lying 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) west of Gorev Island. Discovered and first mapped by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson. Photographed by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956) and named for Aleksey K. Tokarev (1915–57), biologist on the expedition who died while returning from the Antarctic.
