A volcanic crater on Azorella Peninsula, Heard Island. In 1948 ANARE surveyor, Robert G. Dovers established a trig point on the southern rim of the crater at a height of 97 m. This was referred to as 'crater' in his field books and on the 1964 map of Heard Island. The crater was named in recognition of his extensive survey work.

A glacier 9-11 km wide extending WNW into the south-eastern side of Stefansson Bay in Kemp Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photography by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Mulebreen (The Snout Glacier).

A moraine on the eastern side of the Stephenson Glacier, Heard Island.

One of the Stinear Nunataks in Mac.Robertson Land, it is approximately 2030 m high. Discovered in 1954 by ANARE party led by Robert G. Dovers, after whom it was named.

A glacier about 28 km long, flowing eastwards into the King Edward Ice Shelf just north of the Wilma Glacier. Part of the glacier was mapped in 1954 by Robert Dovers during a sledging journey to Edward VIII Gulf. Photographed by ANARE aircraft in 1956.

A broad glacier on the north coast between Saddle Point and a moraine east of Cape Bidlingmaier.

A point on the coast of Enderby Land between Cape Borley and Cape Batterbee. Discovered on 12 January, 1930, by BANZARE under Sir Douglas Mawson, who named in Stuart Doyle Point after Stuart Doyle, who helped the expedition photographer with the film record.

A headland just west of Davies Bay in Oates Land. A headland was discovered near here by the Terra Nova under Lieut. H.L. Pennell, RN, in February, 1911. Photographed in February, 1959, by the ANARE Expedition on the Magga Dan led by Phillip Law. Named after F.R.H. Drake, meteorologist on board the Terra Nova.

The westernmost point of Booth Peninsula in the Bunger Hills, Knox Coast, Wilkes Land.

An island about 500m NE of Lagerphone Island, the second largest island in the Svenner Islands, located in southern Prydz Bay.

A bare, black, isolated nunatak, standing up boldly from the continental ice on the south-east side of Lauritzen Bay in Oates Land. This is a very distinctive feature, about 13 km SSW of Magga Peak. Discovered on 20 February, 1959, by the ANARE Expedition, on the Magga Dan led by Phillip Law. Named after Alan Campbell-Drury, Photographic officer of the Antarctic Division, Melbourne, who accompanied the expedition.

The feature is named after Alan Campbell-Drury, radio operator and photographer with the 1948 ANARE Heard Island Expedition.

An ice-capped island, with a dome about 327 m high, about 85 km north of the coast of Queen Mary Land. Discovered by A.A.E. (1911-14). Named by Sir Douglas Mawson after Professor Erich von Drygalski, leader of the German Antarctic Expedition (1901-03) Drygalski in 1902.

A glacier on the Knox Coast of Wilkes Land, about 37 km west of Merritt Island. Delineated from air photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). Named by USACAN after E.P. Du Beau, photo interpreter with USN Operation Windmill (1947-48).

The southern peak of Smith Peaks, in the David Range, Mac.Robertson Land, about 2 km south of Mount Hordern. This peak has been passed by ANARE field parties going south since 1957.

An area of relatively level exposed rock (c. 1100m) that forms the N part of Dusky Ridge in Britannia Range.

A mountain ridge about 11 km long extending north-south between the Byrd Glacier and the Hatherton Glacier. Named Dusky Mountains by the Darwin Glacier party of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956-58) because of the almost complete lack of snow on the eastern faces and associated dry valleys. The generic ridge is considered more appropriate than mountains.

A scattered group of low peaks and ridges covering an area of approximately 11 km by 6 km about 4 km south of Mount Banfield in the Hansen Mountains, Kemp Land. Plotted from ANARE air photographs. Named after V. Dwyer, radio officer-in-charge at Mawson in 1964, a member of one of the survey parties which carried out a tellurometer traverse passing through the Hansen Mountains in 1965.

An island just north of Entrance Island, off the Mawson Coast. Plotted from ANARE air photographs.
