Polar Times Glacier is a glacier on Ingrid Christensen Coast, flowing northward between Svarthausen Nunatak and Boyd Nunatak into the western part of Publications Ice Shelf. It was delineated by John H. Roscoe from aerial photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump, 1946–1947, and named by Roscoe after The Polar Times, a polar journal published by the American Polar Society, New York City.
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.
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.
The Intention Nunataks are a group of peaked nunataks between Solo Nunatak and the Forgotten Hills, at the southwestern margin of Evans Névé, Antarctica. They were named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1962–63, as the surveyor's intention to place a survey station here was thwarted by weather and other factors. The topographical feature lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Kienle Nunataks are three aligned nunataks to the north of Mount Terror in northeastern Ross Island, Antarctica. The nunataks trend east–west for 1 nautical mile (2 km) and rise to about 1,700 metres (5,600 ft). The central nunatak is 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) north-northeast of the Mount Terror summit. At the suggestion of P.R. Kyle, they were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Juergen Kienle of the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, a United States Antarctic Program team leader for the investigation of volcanic activity and seismicity on Mount Erebus in six field seasons, 1980–81 through 1985–86.
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."
The Baseline Nunataks are a small group of nunataks rising above the plateau ice 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Mount McKenzie, along the south side of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains in Antarctica. They were visited in January 1957 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party of 1956–57 led by W.G. Bewsher. This was the eastern end of a photo baseline, with Mount Hollingshead as the western end, hence the name.
Branson Nunatak is a nunatak between Mount Burnett and Price Nunatak in the Framnes Mountains, Mac. Robertson Land. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Horntind. It was renamed by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Branson, geophysicist at Mawson Station in 1962.
Postel Nunatak is a nunatak, 1,450 m, standing 8 nautical miles (15 km) southwest of Snake Ridge along the ice escarpment that trends southwest from the ridge, in the Patuxent Range, Pensacola Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Philip A. Postel, meteorologist at South Pole Station, winter 1967.
Hayes Peak is a conical peak in Antarctica, that reaches 340 metres (1,120 ft) high, rising through the ice slopes 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of Cape Bruce and Oom Bay. It was discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Douglas Mawson, who named it after Reverend James Gordon Hayes.
The Martin Nunataks are a pair of isolated nunataks situated along the northern margin of David Glacier, 9 nautical miles (17 km) southeast of Mount Wood, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–62, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert D. Martin, a USGS topographic engineer at McMurdo Station, 1961–62.
Mount Hirman is a prominent mountain marking the southern end of the Behrendt Mountains, in Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1961–67, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Joseph W. Hirman, a scientific leader at Eights Station in 1965.
Specimen Nunatak is a small but distinctive rock pinnacle that rises above the ice of Swithinbank Glacier about 4 nautical miles (7 km) south of the glacier terminus, in Graham Land. The feature was visited on February 9, 1941 by Herbert G. Dorsey and Joseph D. Healy of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, who gave the name because the pinnacle was a good example of a nunatak projecting above a broad ice field.
Kalafut Nunatak is a nunatak which marks the southeast end of the Haines Mountains, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Antarctic Service (1939–41) and by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos (1959–65). It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John Kalafut, a United States Antarctic Research Program glaciologist at Byrd Station in the 1966–67 and 1968–69 seasons.
Threshold Nunatak is an isolated nunatak located at the mouth of Tillite Glacier, 5 nautical miles (9 km) northeast of Portal Rock, in Queen Alexandra Range. The name was suggested by John Gunner of the Ohio State University Geological Expedition, 1969–70, who was landed by helicopter to collect a rock sample here. The name is in association with Portal Rock and also reflects the location at the mouth of Tillite Glacier.
Kenfield Nunatak is an isolated nunatak which lies about 8 nautical miles (15 km) southeast of the head of Cosgrove Ice Shelf and 17 nautical miles (31 km) east-northeast of Pryor Cliff, at the extreme northern end of the Hudson Mountains, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Richard E. Kenfield, a USGS topographic engineer working from Byrd Station in the 1963–64 season.
Ray Nunatak is a nunatak, an Eskimo word meaning an isolated rocky peak that projects above the surface of a glacier where the ice cover is relatively thin. Ray Nunatak is 1,630 m, located just north of Beiszer Nunatak and 5 nautical miles (9 km) southwest of Dyrdal Peak in southern Forrestal Range, Pensacola Mountains. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for James A. Ray, utilities man at Ellsworth Station, winter 1957.
Larkman Nunatak is a large, isolated rock nunatak, 2,660 metres (8,730 ft) high, at the southeast end of the Grosvenor Mountains of Antarctica, 12 nautical miles (22 km) east of Mauger Nunatak. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) for a chief engineer of Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–17) from Australia to the Ross Sea.
