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.
Hansen Mountains is a large group of nunataks rising to about 300 m (980 ft) above the Antarctic plateau. The mountains are approximately 89 km (55 mi) south of Stefansson Bay and they extend 40 km (25 mi) from northwest to southeast in Kemp Land, East Antarctica. The Hansen Mountains were first mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the 1936–1937 Lars Christensen Expedition. They were named for H.E. Hansen, the Norwegian cartographer who compiled the maps for this and other Norwegian Antarctic expeditions.
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.
James Nunatak is a conical nunatak, 410 metres (1,350 ft) high, standing 5.5 miles (9 km) south of Lewis Point on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. This feature was photographed from the air by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in September 1940 and was probably seen by the USAS ground party that explored this coast. During 1947 it was charted by a joint party consisting of members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and was named by the FIDS for David P. James, a FIDS surveyor at the Hope Bay base in 1945–46.
The Enceladus Nunataks are a group of about eight nunataks scattered over a wide area at the head of the drainage basin of Saturn Glacier, in southern Alexander Island, Antarctica. They were mapped from trimetrogon air photography taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, and from survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1948–50. The group was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee from association with Saturn Glacier, Enceladus being one of the moons of the planet Saturn.
Exile Nunatak is an isolated nunatak in the northwest part of Handel Ice Piedmont in the west-central part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. It was first mapped from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. The name given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee suggests the feature's isolated position.
Bain Nunatak is one of the Manning Nunataks, on the east side of the Amery Ice Shelf. The nunataks were photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) (1957). They were visited by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1965 and by the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in 1969. This feature was named for C.J. Bain, weather observer at Mawson Station in 1969 and a member of the 1969 ANARE survey party.
Barkov Glacier is a glacier draining northeast between Mount Dallmann and the central part of the Shcherbakov Range, in the Orvin Mountains, Queen Maud Land. First photographed and roughly plotted by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, it was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60, remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Soviet geographer A.S. Barkov.
New Year Nunatak * is a nunatak in the central part of the Manning Nunataks in the southeast part of Amery Ice Shelf. Plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in 1957. So named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) because the nunatak was visited by a geological party of the Soviet Antarctic Expedition on New Year's Day of 1966.
Jutulgryta Crevasses is a crevasse field about 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, at the east side of the mouth of Jutulstraumen Glacier in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–52) and from air photos by the Norwegian expedition (1958–59) and named Jutulgryta.
The Dwyer Nunataks are a scattered group of low peaks and ridges about 6 nautical miles (11 km) long and 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) southeast of Mount Gjeita in the Hansen Mountains of Antarctica. They were plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia after V. Dwyer, a radio officer at Mawson Station in 1964, and a member of one of the survey parties which carried out a tellurometer traverse passing through the Hansen Mountains in 1965.
Foale Nunatak is a nunatak lying 4 nautical miles (7 km) east-northeast of Moore Pyramid on the north side of Scylla Glacier, in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was plotted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos of 1965, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for K.A. Foale, a radio operator at Davis Station in 1963.
Foster Nunatak is a horseshoe shaped rock outcrop in the south part of the Manning Nunataks, on the east side of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The Manning Nunataks were photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) (1957). They were visited by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1965 and ANARE in 1969. This nunatak was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for A.L. Foster, an electronics engineer at Mawson Station in 1970, and a member of an ANARE glaciological traverse party on the Amery Ice Shelf in January 1970.
Half Dome Nunatak is a nunatak lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of the Cobham Range in Antarctica, at the mouth of Lucy Glacier. It was so named by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) because it is rounded on one side and cut into sheer cliffs on the other side.
Mitchell Nunatak is the central nunatak in a group of three nunataks in the northern part of the Manning Nunataks in Antarctica. The Manning Nunataks were photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in 1946–47, and by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1957. They were visited by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1965 and by the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in 1969. This nunatak was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for R. Mitchell, a senior diesel mechanic at Mawson Station in 1969.
Tester Nunatak is the southernmost of a group of three nunataks in the northern part of the Manning Nunataks, in the east part of Amery Ice Shelf. The nunataks were photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and ANARE (1957). They were visited by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1965 and by ANARE in 1969. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for J. Tester, aircraft engineer with the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in 1969.
Kenneth Ridge is the northernmost of three rock outcrops in the northern part of the Manning Nunataks, Antarctica. The nunataks were photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) (1957). They were visited by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1965 and by ANARE in 1969, and were named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Kenneth A. Smith, a radio officer at Mawson Station in 1969, and a member of the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in the same year.
Luff Nunatak is a narrow nunatak, 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, located west of Foster Nunatak in the Manning Nunataks of Antarctica, in the eastern part of the Amery Ice Shelf. The Manning Nunataks were photographed by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) (1957). They were visited by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1965 and ANARE in 1969. The nunatak was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for T.S. Luff, a senior diesel mechanic at Mawson Station in 1970, and a member of the ANARE glaciological traverse party on the Amery Ice Shelf in January 1970.
