Sibelius Glacier is a glacier, 12 miles (19 km) long and 6 miles (10 km) wide, flowing south into the Mozart Ice Piedmont 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Mount Stephenson situated in the northern portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The glacier was first sighted from the air by the British Graham Land Expedition in 1937. Mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947-48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. This feature was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Jean Sibelius (1865-1957), Finnish composer.
Prospect Glacier is a glacier between Kinnear Mountains and Mayer Hills, flowing north into Forster Ice Piedmont on the west coast of Antarctic Peninsula. It was first roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. In 1954 the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) gave the name Prospect Pass to a col between Eureka Glacier and the glacier here described. During resurvey of the area by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1958, the col was found to be an indeterminate feature, while this glacier is well marked and requires a name.
Jones Ice Shelf was the ice shelf occupying the Jones Channel, between the Arrowsmith Peninsula and Blaiklock Island, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1981 in association with the channel.
The Wormald Ice Piedmont is an ice piedmont covering the eastern part of Wright Peninsula, Adelaide Island, Antarctica, between Rothera Point and Sighing Peak. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1961–62, and by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) from 1976.
Anandakrishnan Glacier is a glacier about 15 nautical miles (30 km) long draining through the Ruppert Coast north of Strauss Glacier in Antarctica.

It is rudely delineated on the map of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928–30, and indicated as "low ice cliffs" that rise above the ice shelf in this part of the bay. Mapped in detail by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named for James Webber, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station, 1968-69 season.
Cox Reef is a group of drying rocks lying northwest of Box Reef off the south end of Adelaide Island. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963 for Able Seaman Edward F. Cox, a member of the Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit which first charted this feature in 1963.
Miller Ice Rise is an ice rise nearly 2 nautical miles (4 km) long and 1 nautical mile (2 km) wide at the ice front (1974) of the Wordie Ice Shelf, 16 nautical miles (30 km) west-northwest of the Triune Peaks, in southern Marguerite Bay, Antarctica. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1948–49, and was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1966. The feature was named, in 1977, by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Richard Miller, a U.S. Navy chief radioman at Palmer Station in the winter party of 1968.
Martin Ice Rise is an ice rise, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long and 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide, merged within the George VI Ice Shelf and the George VI Sound, located 10 nautical miles (19 km) southwest of Kirwan Inlet, off the east coast of Alexander Island and the west coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was delineated as an ice rise from U.S. Landsat imagery of January 1973, and was named in 1977 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Sir David Martin (1914–76), Executive Secretary of the Royal Society, 1947–76, who played a leading role in organizing the Royal Society International Geophysical Year Expedition, 1956–58.
Mount Martine is a massive mountain, about 800 metres (2,600 ft) high, with a prominent rocky north face and ice-covered south slopes, overlooking the north shore of Charcot Island, south of Cheesman Island, in the east Bellinghausen Sea of Antarctica.
Sanavirón Island is an island lying off Northeast Glacier, southeast of Audrey Island, Debenham Islands, in Marguerite Bay on the Fallières Coast. It was charted by the Argentine Antarctic Expedition, 1950–51, as two small islands and named "Islotes Sanavirón" after the Argentine ship Sanavirón, which was used for the hydrographic survey of the area. The feature has been determined to be a single island.
Schimper Glacier is a glacier in the east part of Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range, flowing north-northeast into Slessor Glacier. Photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1968–71. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in the area, named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Karl Friedrich Schimper (1803–67), German botanist who in 1835 originated the theory of the Ice Age in Europe to account for the distribution of erratic boulders.
Stephenson Nunatak is a prominent, pyramid-shaped rock nunatak, rising to about 640 m, which rises 300 m above the surrounding ice at the northwest side of Kirwan Inlet in the southeast part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. Discovered and roughly surveyed in 1940-41 by Ronne and Eklund of the United States Antarctic Service. Resurveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Alfred Stephenson, surveyor with the British Graham Land Expedition, who led a sledge party south into George VI Sound to about 72S in 1936. There happens to be another landform on Alexander Island which is named after Alfred Stephenson, that being Mount Stephenson, the highest point of Alexander Island rising to 2,987 m.
Senouque Spurs is a group of spurs rising to about 1,250 m and extending northwest from the Rouen Mountains to the Bongrain Ice Piedmont. Photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947, roughly mapped from air photographs by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1959, and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey in 1975-76. The feature was named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1980 after A. Senouque, magnetician and photographer on FAE, 1908–10, in association with other FAE names in this area.
Relay Hills is a group of low, ice-covered hills, mainly conical in shape, between Mount Edgell and Kinnear Mountains in western Antarctic Peninsula. First roughly surveyed from the ground by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1936-37. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), November 1947. Resurveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), November 1958. The name, applied by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), arose because both the BGLE and the FIDS sledging parties had to relay their loads through this area to the head of Prospect Glacier.
Reynolds Ice Rise is a small ice rise lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of Wade Ice Rise in Wordie Ice Shelf, Fallières Coast. The ice rise was mapped from U.S. Landsat imagery, 1974-79. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1987 after John M. Reynolds, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) glaciologist, 1978–83, who undertook a study of intensive calving of Wordie Ice Shelf from Landsat imagery.
Linchpin Ice Rise is a small ice rise northeast of Miller Ice Rise, situated near the ice front of Wordie Ice Shelf on the Fallières Coast of Antarctica. The feature was mapped from U.S. Landsat imagery, 1974–79, and was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because the ice rise plays a key role (linchpin) in maintaining the position of the ice front, as observed in 1979.
