Wohlthat Mountains is a large group of associated mountain features consisting of the Humboldt Mountains, Petermann Ranges, and the Gruber Mountains, located immediately east of the Orvin Mountains in Fimbulheimen in the central Queen Maud Land. Discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939), led by Capt. Alfred Ritscher, and named for Prussian State Councilor Helmuth Wohlthat, who as economist and fiscal officer dealt with the organization of the expedition.

Isdalsegga Ridge is a rock ridge surmounted by Pinegin Peak, forming the east wall of Isdalen Valley in the Südliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains, Antarctica. It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was replotted from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, and named "Isdalsegga" in association with Isdalen Valley.
Jutulstraumen Glacier is a large glacier in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, about 120 nautical miles (220 km) long, draining northward to the Fimbul Ice Shelf between the Kirwan Escarpment, Borg Massif and Ahlmann Ridge on the west and the Sverdrup Mountains on the east. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Jutulstraumen. More specifically jutulen are troll-like figures from Norwegian folk tales. The ice stream reaches speeds of around 4 metres per day near the coast where it is heavily crevassed.

It was roughly plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39. It was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Soviet geologist Ye. I. Chervov.
Svarthorna Peaks is a series of five or more peaks on the curving ridge that forms the south end of Mittlere Petermann Range, in the Wohlthat Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Discovered by the German Antarctic Expedition under Ritscher, 1938–39, who gave the descriptive name "Schwarze Horner". The peaks were remapped by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, who used the spelling Svarthorna. The Norwegian spelling has been recommended by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) to agree with associated features in the area having this name.

The Gråhorna Peaks are a cluster of peaks 5 nautical miles (9 km) west of Store Svarthorn Peak in the Westliche Petermann Range, in the Wohlthat Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition under Alfred Ritscher, 1938–39, who gave the name "Graue Horner".

The Norwegian spelling has been recommended by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names to agree with associated features having the same root spelling.
The Mittlere Petermann Range is one of the Petermann Ranges in Antarctica, extending north–south for 17 nautical miles (31 km) from the Johnson Peaks to Store Svarthorn Peak, in the Wohlthat Mountains, Queen Maud Land. The range was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition of 1938–39, and so named by them for its middle position in the northern part of the Petermann Ranges.
Sandseten Mountain is a flattish mountain 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) south of Krakken Mountain and just southwest of Gneysovaya Peak in Westliche Petermann Range, Wohlthat Mountains.
