The Deep Freeze Range is a rugged mountain range, over 128 km (80 mi) long and about 16 km (10 mi) wide, rising between Priestley and Campbell glaciers in Victoria Land, Antarctica, and extending from the edge of the polar plateau to Terra Nova Bay. Peaks in the low and mid portions of the range were observed by early British expeditions to the Ross Sea.
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. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1957–58, for Carsten Borchgrevink, leader of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900. Borchgrevink visited the area in February 1900 and first observed the seaward portion of the glacier.
Ninnis Glacier is a large, heavily hummocked and crevassed glacier descending steeply from the high interior to the sea in a broad valley, on George V Coast in Antarctica. It was discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Lieutenant B. E. S. Ninnis, who lost his life on the far east sledge journey of the expedition on 14 December 1912 through falling into the Black Crevasse in the glacier.
Explorers Range is a large mountain range in the Bowers Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica, extending from Mount Bruce in the north to Carryer Glacier and McLin Glacier in the south. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, whose members carried out a topographical and geological survey of the area. The names of several party members are assigned to features in and about this range. All of the geographical features listed below lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
The Tryne Islands are a group of numerous small Antarctic islands and rocks, about 7 km (4 mi) in extent, forming the western limit of Tryne Bay and Tryne Sound at the north-eastern end of the Vestfold Hills. The islands were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37) and named Trynøyane.
Amphitheatre Lake is a smooth-surfaced meltwater lake 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) long in the western part of the Amphitheatre Peaks, in the Nye Mountains of Antarctica. The lake is almost completely enclosed by rock and ice cliffs, forming an amphitheatre, with an outlet into Rayner Glacier at the west end. It was photographed in 1956 from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft and visited by an ANARE airborne field party in 1958. The descriptive name was applied by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia.
The Anare Nunataks are a group of mainly snow-covered ridges with exposed rock summits rising to 2,035 metres (6,680 ft), standing 16 nautical miles (30 km) south of the Stinear Nunataks in Mac. Robertson Land. First visited in November 1955 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) party led by John Béchervaise, the name is taken from the acronym of the expedition.
Watson Nunatak is a nunatak standing between Price and Van Hulssen Nunataks in the Trilling Peaks, Framnes Mountains, in Mac. Robertson Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for K.D. Watson, diesel mechanic at Mawson Station, who assisted in the Framnes Mountains--Depot Peak survey by ANARE in 1965.
Wells Ridge is a rocky ridge 4 nautical miles (7 km) long between the Swanson Mountains and Mount Gilmour in the Ford Ranges, Marie Byrd Land. Discovered on aerial flights made from the West Base of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) (1939–41) and named for Loran Wells, photographer and observer with the USAS geology party which visited this ridge in 1940.
Mount Swan is a mountain 4 nautical miles (7 km) south of Gutenko Nunataks in the Ford Ranges, Marie Byrd Land. Discovered and mapped by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) (1939–41). Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Paul Swan, airplane pilot with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933–35).
Mule Peninsula is an irregularly shaped rocky peninsula between Ellis Fjord and Krok Fjord in the southern part of the Vestfold Hills of Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition of 1936–37 and named Breidnesmulen by Norwegian cartographers. Mule Peninsula is an adaptation of the original Norwegian name by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia.
Drury Nunatak is a bare, black, isolated nunatak standing up boldly from the ice at the head of Lauritzen Bay, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) northwest of Reynolds Peak. The feature was observed and charted on February 20, 1959 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions led by Phillip Law, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Alan Campbell-Drury, Photographic Officer of the Antarctic Division who accompanied this expedition.
Foley Promontory is an ice-covered promontory about 5 nautical miles (10 km) north of Landon Promontory on the west side of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) air photos taken in 1956, and was first visited by an ANARE party led by D.R. Carstens in November 1962. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for N.E. Foley, a weather observer at Mawson Station in 1962, and a member of the field party.
Heidemann Bay is a bay, 1 nautical mile (2 km) long, indenting the seaward end of Breidnes Peninsula in the Vestfold Hills of Antarctica, just south of Davis Station. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. The bay was first visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions party from the Kista Dan on January 11, 1957, and was named for Frank Heidemann, second mate of the Kista Dan.
Heidemann Bay which was gouged by glaciers is flanked by two small peninsulas which rise approximately 20 metres above sea level.
Heidemann Bay is an extension of Heidemann Valley which runs in the same compass direction for a further two kilometres. Heidemann Valley is of uniform elevation and relatively flat but covered in a large number of moraine rocks and boulders.
Heth Ridge is a ridge 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, located 4 nautical miles (7 km) south of the Hornblende Bluffs and near the head of Suvorov Glacier, in the Wilson Hills of Antarctica. It 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 Samuel R. Heth, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at Hallett Station, 1968–69.
McCarthy Nunatak is a small nunatak, the top of which is almost at the same level as the surrounding ice plateau, about 5 nautical miles (9 km) southeast of Depot Peak, Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. It was discovered from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft in 1970, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after I. McCarthy, a senior weather observer at Mawson Station in 1970, and a member of the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in 1971.
Station Tarn is a small fresh-water pond near the west end of Breidnes Peninsula, Vestfold Hills, immediately north of Heidemann Bay in Princess Elizabeth Land in Antarctica. So named by the first ANARE party at Davis Station because of its proximity.
Seavers Nunataks are two nunataks 16 nautical miles (30 km) west of Mount Scherger, near the head of Fisher Glacier in the Prince Charles Mountains, Mac. Robertson Land. Mapped from ANARE air photos and surveys, 1958 and 1960-61. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for J.A. Seavers, assistant cook at Mawson Station, a member of the ANARE field party in this area in 1961.
