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.
Enderby Land is a projecting landmass of Antarctica. Its shore extends from Shinnan Glacier at about 67°55′S44°38′E to William Scoresby Bay at 67°24′S59°34′E, approximately 1⁄24 of the earth's longitude. It was first documented in western and eastern literature in February 1831 by John Biscoe aboard the whaling brig Tula, and named after the Enderby Brothers of London, the ship's owners who encouraged their captains to combine exploration with sealing.
The Ford Ranges are a grouping of mountain ranges standing east of Sulzberger Ice Shelf and Block Bay in the northwest part of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. Discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on December 5, 1929, they were named by Byrd for Edsel Ford of the Ford Motor Company, who helped finance the expedition.
Uksen Island is a steep-sided, isolated island lying 6 km (4 mi) northeast of Tilley Nunatak, off the coast of Mac. Robertson Land. It was first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Uksen.
Åkerlundh Nunatak is a nunatak which lies 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Donald Nunatak between Bruce Nunatak and Murdoch Nunatak in the Seal Nunataks group, off the east coast of Antarctic Peninsula. Charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it for Gustaf Åkerlundh, a member of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04.
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 Jensen Nunataks are a cluster of isolated nunataks in the interior of southern Palmer Land, Antarctica, about 28 nautical miles (50 km) northeast of Mount Vang. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Curtis M. Jensen, a glaciologist at Byrd Station in summer 1965–66.
Mūmū Nunatak is a nunatak in the north part of Kyle Hills, Ross Island. The feature is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) west-southwest of Towle Point and 0.6 nautical miles (1.1 km) inland from steep cliffs that form the northeast edge of the island. The name Mūmū is one of several Maori wind names applied by New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) in this area.
The Freyberg Mountains are a group of mountains in Victoria Land, Antarctica, bounded by Rennick Glacier, Bowers Mountains, Black Glacier, and Evans Neve. Named for New Zealand's most famous General, Lord Bernard Freyberg, by the Northern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963-64. This mountain group includes the Alamein Range. These topographical features all lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Palisade Nunatak is a substantial rock nunatak just north of Rohss Bay and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southeast of Hidden Lake on James Ross Island. Mapped from surveys by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960–61). This distinctive ridge-backed nunatak with vertical columnar structure is the largest outcrop of hard intrusive rock on James Ross Island. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for its resemblance to a palisade.
McClary Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It flows southwest along the north side of Butson Ridge into Marguerite Bay between Cape Calmette and the Debenham Islands. The glacier was first roughly surveyed by the British Graham Land Expedition, 1936–37, and resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1946–50. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for George B. McClary, father of Nelson McClary, mate on the Port of Beaumont during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48.
Marcoux Nunatak is a nunatak 1,530 metres (5,020 ft) high, about midway between the Schmidt Nunataks and Poorman Peak in the Wilson Hills of Antarctica. It stands above the ice near the head of Manna Glacier. The nunatak was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John S. Marcoux, U.S. Navy, an aviation structural mechanic with Squadron VX-6, who wintered at McMurdo Station in 1967.
Schoofs Nunatak is an isolated nunatak 20 nautical miles (37 km) west-northwest of Mount Barkow, rising above the featureless ice plateau westward of the heads of Meinardus and Haines Glaciers, in Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–67. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Gerald J. Schoofs, radioscience researcher at Byrd Station, summer 1965–66.
Sentinel Buttress is a prominent crag containing a volcanic breccia sequence, rising to 535 m east of Palisade Nunatak at the head of Rohss Bay, James Ross Island. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1987 from its commanding position in the area.
Tilley Nunatak is a bold, rocky outcrop 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Hobbs Islands, projecting from the coastal ice cliffs eastward of William Scoresby Bay. Discovered in February 1936 by DI personnel on the William Scoresby and named by them for Professor C.E. Tilley, who studied the rock specimens brought back by the expedition.
Kenney Nunatak is a conspicuous nunatak rising in Waddington Glacier, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) south-southwest of Ugolini Peak, in the Royal Society Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1994 after Frank J. Kenney, a United States Geological Survey (USGS) cartographer who was a member of a USGS field team for the International Global Positioning System (GPS) Campaign at Byrd Station, McMurdo Station, and in the Pine Island Bay area, 1991–92. The team established the first continuous-tracking GPS reference station in Antarctica.
Larsen Nunatak is an island called nunatak 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Murdoch Nunatak in the Seal Nunataks group, off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Seal Nunataks were discovered by a Norwegian whaling expedition under C.A. Larsen in December 1893, and commemoration of Larsen was proposed by Ludwig Friederichsen in 1895. The application of this name is based upon a 1947 survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey.
