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.
Auster Glacier is a glacier about 2 miles (3 km) wide, flowing northwest into the southeast extremity of Amundsen Bay. It was sighted in October 1956 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) party led by P.W. Crohn, and named after the Auster aircraft used by ANARE in coastal exploration.
Mount Bergin is a mountain, 700 m, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Mount Maslen in the Raggatt Mountains, Enderby Land. It was plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. It was named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for R.D. Bergin, radio officer at Mawson station in 1956.
Campbell Peak is a peak, 2,415 metres (7,920 ft) high, standing 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km) northeast of Mawson Peak, the summit of Heard Island. It was surveyed in 1948 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE), who named it for Group-Captain Stuart A. Campbell, Royal Australian Air Force. Campbell visited Heard Island in 1929 as aircraft pilot with the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition led by Douglas Mawson, and again as leader of ANARE when a research station was established on the island in December 1947.
Waratah Islands is a pair of small islands lying close to the coast about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Hannan Ice Shelf, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) after the Australian native plant Waratah.
Wattle Island is a small island lying close to the coast and 6 nautical miles (11 km) east of Kirkby Head, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. Wattle is the vernacular name given to over 400 species of Acacia found in different parts of Australia.
Mount Weller is a mountain, 1,080 m, standing west of Auster Glacier and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of Reference Peak in Enderby Land. It was plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in 1956 and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for G.E. Weller, a meteorologist at Mawson Station in 1961.
White Massif is a rock massif about 3 nautical miles (6 km) east-northeast of Thomson Massif in the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photos taken in 1956 and 1960. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for R.F. White, senior technician (electronics) at Mawson Station in 1963 who died there on October 18, 1963.
Mount Cronus is a majestic, conical, partially snow-covered peak, 900 metres (3,000 ft) high, rising 8 nautical miles (15 km) south of Amundsen Bay and 9 nautical miles (17 km) west-southwest of Reference Peak. It was sighted by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions party in October 1956 and named for Cronus, the father of the gods in classical mythology.
Murray Dome is a dome-shaped rock feature about 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Mount McKenzie in the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photos taken in 1956 and 1960. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Dr. L. Murray, medical officer at Macquarie Island in 1963 and at Wilkes Station in 1964.
Grainger Valley is a valley 12 nautical miles (22 km) long and up to 1 nautical mile (2 km) wide separating Manning Massif and McLeod Massif in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was photographed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1956, and was crossed in February 1969 by a survey party during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for D. Grainger, a geologist with the party, who also took part in the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1970.
Mount Twigg is a large rock outcrop bisected by a north-trending glacier, standing 16 nautical miles (30 km) southeast of Mount Maguire near the head of Lambert Glacier. Mapped from ANARE air photos and surveys, 1956-58. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for D.R. Twigg, radio supervisor at Mawson Station, 1958.
Mount Seaton is a prominent domed peak in eastern Antarctica, one of the Amery Peaks, situated about 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Sandilands Nunatak in the Prince Charles Mountains. It was plotted by the ANARE southern party led by W.G. Bewsher in January 1957, and named for Pilot Officer John Seaton, a RAAF pilot with the Antarctic Flight at Mawson Station in 1956.
Mount Sones is a mountain standing on the north side of Beaver Glacier, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) west of Mount Reed in the Tula Mountains. It was plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in 1956 and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) in 1962 for F. Sones, a member of the crew of the Discovery during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) of 1929-31.
Mount Reed is a mountain standing on the north side of Beaver Glacier, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) east of Mount Sones in the Tula Mountains. It was plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in 1956 and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) in 1962 for J.E. Reed, a member of the crew of the Discovery during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) of 1929-31.
Reference Peak is a roughly conical peak, 1,030 m, with a steep face to the west near its crest, lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Amundsen Bay between Mounts Weller and Hollingsworth. Viewed from the north, it presents a sharp peak with smooth, clear-cut sides. It was sighted in October 1956 by an ANARE party and was so named because the peak was used as a reference point for magnetic observations at Observation Island.
Thompson Island is the largest and northeasternmost of the Balaena Islands, situated about 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) from the coast of Antarctica and 15 nautical miles (28 km) northeast of the Windmill Islands. The island consists of two rocky knolls separated by a low saddle of snow. This feature was first photographed from aircraft of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in February 1947, and was mapped from that photography by Gardner Blodgett in 1955. It was visited by a party of the ANARE on January 19, 1956, and named for Richard Thompson, Administrative Officer, Antarctic Division, Melbourne, who was second-in-command for several years of ANARE relief expeditions to Heard Island, Macquarie Island and Mawson Station.
Mount Charles is a mountain, 1,110 m, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Mount Cronus in Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in 1956 and 1957. The chart drawn by John Biscoe (1830–31) shows four mountains in what is now named Scott Mountains; these four mountains were named Charles, Henry, Gordon and George, probably for the Enderby Brothers, owners of Biscoe's vessels. It has not been possible to identify the mountain so named by Biscoe, but in order to perpetuate the name Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) applied it to this feature in 1962.
