The Queen Elizabeth Range is a rugged mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the Ross Dependency region of Antarctica.
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.
Huron Glacier is a 4.8 nautical miles } long and 2.2 nautical miles wide glacial flow on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, situated east of Perunika Glacier, southeast of Kaliakra Glacier, south of Struma Glacier, west-northwest of Iskar Glacier and northeast of Huntress Glacier. It is bounded by Bowles Ridge to the north, Wörner Gap to the west and the Tangra Mountains to the south, receiving ice influx from several tributary glaciers draining the mountain's northern slopes between Mount Friesland and Helmet Peak, and running east-northeastwards to empty into Moon Bay south of Elemag Point and north of Yana Point. Camp Academia is situated on upper Huron Glacier, in the northwestern foothills of Zograf Peak.
Anna Glacier is a glacier flowing southeast between Rose Peak and Rea Peak, tributary to Polonia Glacier/Polonia Ice Piedmont at the head of King George Bay, King George Island. It was named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition (PAE), 1981, after Anna Tokarska, field assistant of PAE geological party to King George Island, 1979–80, and wife of Antoni K. Tokarski.
Mount Bradley is a pyramidal peak, 835 metres (2,740 ft) high, at the southeast end of a ridge descending from Detroit Plateau, surmounting Znepole Ice Piedmont to the east and Dreatin Glacier to the southwest. The peak is 4 nautical miles (7 km) southwest of Mount Reece in the southern Trinity Peninsula. It was charted in 1945 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it for K.G. Bradley, Colonial Secretary in the Falkland Islands at the time.
The Burch Peaks are a group of peaks 6 nautical miles (11 km) east of Mount Torckler in Enderby Land. They were plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1957, and named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for W.M. Burch, a geophysicist at Wilkes Station in 1961.
Caraquet Rock is a rock lying nearly 4 nautical miles (7 km) west-southwest of Bell Point, off the west part of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for the sealing vessel Caraquet from Liverpool, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1821–22.
Usher Glacier is a glacier nearly 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, flowing northwest into the sea between Stigant Point and Davey Point on the north coast of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for J. Usher, Master of the Caraquet from Liverpool, who visited the South Shetland Islands in 1821-22.
Noble Glacier is a small glacier lying just north of Flagstaff Glacier on the east side of Keller Peninsula, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Hugh M. Noble of Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), glaciologist at Admiralty Bay in 1957, who made detailed studies of the regime of Flagstaff and Stenhouse Glaciers.
Napier Rock is a rock lying 1.75 nautical miles (3.2 km) east-southeast of Point Thomas in Admiralty Bay, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1908-10. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Ronald G. Napier (1925–1956) of Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), general assistant and handyman at the Signy Island station in 1955, and then leader at Admiralty Bay until he was drowned on March 24, 1956.
Jardine Peak is a peak, 285 metres (935 ft) high, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) southwest of Point Thomas on the west side of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for D. Jardine of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, a geologist at Admiralty Bay in 1949, who travelled extensively on King George Island.
Strider Rock is a rock 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Mount Nilsen in the Rockefeller Mountains of Edward VII Peninsula, Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica.
Dimaryp Peak is the prominent northeastern peak of Mount Carroll, rising to 500 metres (1,600 ft), 1 nautical mile (2 km) south of the head of Hope Bay, Trinity Peninsula. First charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04, it was surveyed in 1945 and 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who applied the name. This peak is very similar to and has been frequently misidentified in bad weather as The Pyramid, a peak 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) to the east. The name is simply the word "pyramid" reversed.
Evans Peak is a prominent rock peak, 3,950 metres (12,960 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) east-northeast of Mount Ostenso in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It overlooks Rumyana Glacier to the north and Patton Glacier to the south. The peak was named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party to these mountains, 1963–64, for John Evans, a geologist with the party.
The Gemel Peaks are two peaks 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km) northeast of Horatio Stump on Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. They were charted and named "Twin Peak" or "Twin Peaks" by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II in 1935. To avoid duplication, this name was rejected by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 and a new name substituted; "Gemel" means twin.
Livonia Rock is a rock lying 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) south of Cape Melville, the eastern extremity of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for the sealing vessel Livonia from London, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1821–22.
Röntgen Peak is a peak 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southeast of Cape Cockburn in the northeast part of Pasteur Peninsula, Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Shown on an Argentine government chart in 1953, but not named. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956-57, and mapped from these photos in 1959. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923), German physicist who discovered X-rays in 1895.
Rose Peak is a peak, 655 m, lying nearly 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of Rea Peak and 3 nautical miles (6 km) northeast of Ternyck Needle in the central part of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for the Enderby Brothers' cutter Rose, tender to the schooner 1833 or January 1834 the Rose was crushed in the pack ice in 6017S, 5326W; her crew were rescued by the Hopeful.
