It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947 and 1955, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Ishmael, the narrator of Herman Melville's story Moby-Dick.
Flask Glacier, is a gently-sloping glacier, 25 nautical miles long, flowing east from Bruce Plateau to enter Scar Inlet between Daggoo Peak and Spouter Peak in Graham Land, Antarctica. The lower reaches of this glacier were surveyed and photographed by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947. The entire glacier was photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1955–56, and mapped by the FIDS in 1957. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee after the third mate on the Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick; or, The White Whale.
Ambergris Glacier is a glacier flowing south-southeast from Mount Sara Teodora between Chintulov Ridge and Valkosel Ridge to join Flask Glacier just west of Fluke Ridge in Aristotle Mountains on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. One of several names in the area that reflect a whaling theme, it was named in 1987 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee from the substance secreted by the sperm whale and used in perfumery.
The Batterbee Mountains are a group of prominent mountains rising to 2,200 metres (7,200 ft), which forms part of the dissected edge of Dyer Plateau overlooking George VI Sound, on the west coast of Palmer Land. First seen and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on 23 November 1935, they were charted from the ground in October 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and named after Sir Harry Batterbee (1880–1976), Assistant Under-Secretary of State, Dominions Office, 1930–38, and Chairman of the Polar Committee in 1934, who gave help to the expedition.
Bildad Peak is a conspicuous snow-capped peak 5 nautical miles (9 km) west of Spouter Peak on the south side of Flask Glacier in eastern Voden Heights, on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1955, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the fictional Captain Bildad, part-owner of the whaling ship Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick.
Bulkington Pass is a pass on the south side of Flask Glacier and west of Bildad Peak in Voden Heights on the east side of Graham Land. The pass trends northeast–southwest for 4 nautical miles (7 km) and provides a route from the ice piedmont north of Adit Nunatak to Flask Glacier. The toponym is one in a group applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee that reflects a whaling theme, Bulkington being a crewman on the vessel Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby Dick.

Daggoo Peak is a rocky peak, 905 metres (2,970 ft) high, situated in southeastern Aristotle Mountains at the north side of the mouth of Flask Glacier, 5 nautical miles (9 km) west-southwest of Tashtego Point on the east side of Graham Land. It was surveyed and photographed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1956 after Flask's harpooner on the Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick; or, The White Whale.
Kukri Hills is a prominent east-west trending range, about 25 nautical miles (46 km) long and over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) high, forming the divide between Ferrar Glacier on the south and Taylor Glacier and Taylor Valley on the north, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. They are south of the Asgard Range, east of the Quartermain Mountains and north of the Royal Society Range.

Fendorf Glacier is a broad glacier draining from the eastern slopes of the Gifford Peaks and flowing north to merge with Dobbratz Glacier, in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander James E. Fendorf, U.S. Navy, a pilot with Squadron VX-6 during Operation Deep Freeze 1966.
Franca Glacier named after Fernando E. Franca, is a glacier in Antarctica, flowing northeast into the head of Solberg Inlet, Bowman Coast, to the south of Houser Peak.

It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1946–48, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1977 after Fernando E. Franca, Medical Officer and Station Manager, Palmer Station, 1974.
