Borchgrevink Glacier is a large glacier in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land, draining south between Malta Plateau and Daniell Peninsula, and thence projecting into Glacier Strait, Ross Sea, as a floating glacier tongue, the Borchgrevink Glacier Tongue, just south of Cape Jones.

Borchgrevink visited the area in February 1900 and first observed the seaward portion of the glacier.

Barkov Glacier is a glacier draining northeast between Mount Dallmann and the central part of the Shcherbakov Range, in the Orvin Mountains, Queen Maud Land. First photographed and roughly plotted 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 geographer A.S. Barkov.
The Bundermann Range is a small mountain range located immediately north of Nupskammen Ridge and Terningskarvet Mountain in the Gjelsvik Mountains of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. The name Bundermannketten was applied to a range of mountains in this area by the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938–39) under Alfred Ritscher. The correlation of the name with this feature may be arbitrary, but is recommended for the sake of international uniformity and historical continuity. It was named for Max Bundermann, aerial photographer on the Passat, one of the flying boats used by the German expedition.
The Gburek Peaks are a group of rocky elevations including Straumsvola Mountain and Jutulrora Mountain, forming the western end of the Sverdrup Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were discovered by the Third German Antarctic Expedition under Alfred Ritscher, 1938–39, and named for Leo Gburek, geophysicist on the expedition. The name Gburek is here restricted to the westernmost peaks of those so named on maps of the German Expedition, these being clearly recognizable on detailed maps by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1949–52, and subsequent Norwegian expeditions.
