Immediately to the north of Vahsel Glacier is Schmidt Glacier, whose terminus is located between Mount Drygalski and North West Cornice. To the south of Vahsel Glacier is Allison Glacier, whose terminus is located south of Cape Gazert, which separates Allison Glacier from Vahsel Glacier.
Ealey Glacier is a glacier, flowing northeast from the lower slopes of the Big Ben massif to the northeast side of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. Its terminus is located close southeast of Cape Bidlingmaier, between Melbourne Bluff and North Barrier. The glacier terminates in ice cliffs. To the southeast of Ealey Glacier is Compton Glacier, whose terminus is located at Compton Lagoon, between Gilchrist Beach and Fairchild Beach. To the west of Ealey Glacier is Downes Glacier, whose terminus is located at Mechanics Bay, between Saddle Point and Cape Bidlingmaier.
North West Cornice is a narrow rock ridge descending in a northwest direction from Big Ben on Heard Island, and terminating at Schmidt Glacier in the northwest part of the island. Surveyed and given this descriptive name by ANARE in 1948. Click here to see a map of North West Cornice and the northwestern coast of Heard Island.
Lavett Bluff is a rock bluff between Deacock Glacier and Fiftyone Glacier on the south side of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. It was surveyed in 1948 by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) and named "Cape Lavett" for Lieutenant John L. Lavett, Royal Australian Navy, one of the officers on HMAS Labuan, the relief ship for the expedition. Further ANARE exploration led to revision of the name in 1964 to Lavett Bluff.
Budd Pass is a mountain pass in the ridge that extends southwest from Budd Peak on Heard Island. The pass is 1 nautical mile (2 km) southwest of Budd Peak. It was surveyed by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE), 1948–63, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for G.M. Budd, ANARE officer-in-charge on Heard Island in 1954 and leader of the 1963 ANARE Heard Island expedition.
Budd Peak is a peak, 2,315 metres (7,600 ft) high, 1.7 nautical miles (3.1 km) southeast of Mawson Peak on Heard Island. The peak was mapped by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1948, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for G.M. Budd, ANARE officer-in-charge on Heard Island in 1954, and leader of the 1963 ANARE Heard Island expedition.
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 and 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.
Scarlet Hill is an ice-free, rounded hill, 410 m, overlooking Skua Beach on the east side of Heard Island. This feature appears to have been roughly charted on an 1874 chart by a British expedition under Nares in the Challenger. It was surveyed and named by the ANARE in 1948.
South Barrier is a rocky ridge descending southward from Budd Peak along the east margin of Fiftyone Glacier and terminating at Lambeth Bluff in southern Heard Island. The descriptive name was applied by ANARE in 1948.
Vanhoffen Bluff is a rocky bluff immediately east of Jacka Glacier on the north coast of Heard Island. It is named for Ernst Vanhöffen (1858–1918), a German zoologist, and a member of the Gauss expedition under the leadership of Erich von Drygalski (1865–1949). During its 1902 investigations of the area, Drygalski applied the name Kap Vanhoffen to a cliffed feature about 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) to the northwest, near The Sentinel. The ANARE, during its 1948 survey of the island, transferred the Vanhoffen name to this bluff, reporting that no well-marked cape exists along the high cliffs to the northwest.
Lambeth Bluff is a rock coastal bluff at the end of South Barrier, on the east side of Fiftyone Glacier, on the south side of Heard Island. It was surveyed in 1948 by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) and named "Cape Lambeth" for A. James Lambeth, a geologist with the expedition. Further ANARE exploration led to revision of the name in 1964 to Lambeth Bluff.
