A very shallow round lake to the north-west of the Russian Progress Base in the Larsemann Hills and about 0.7 km south-east of Law Base.

A small lake on a rocky peninsula in the north-east part of Bunger Hills. Delineated from air photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump and named by USACAN.

A lake on Stornes Peninsula in the Larsemann Hills lying about 0.9 km north of Blundell Peak.

A salt-water lake about 6 km ENE of Davis station in the Vestfold Hills. It is about 3 km long and 0.5 km wide, elongated east-west. Photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). First visited by ANARE party led by Phillip Law in January, 1955.

A lake approximately 1 kilometre wide and 2 kilometres long, shaped like a tear drop in the north eastern sector of Loewe Massif. It was first named by Russia and shown on their maps in 1978 with Australia formally accepting the name in September 2006.

A lake in the south-eastern part of the Vestfold Hills, about 2 km north-east of Crooked Lake. Photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1956 and ANARE in 1957 and 1958.

An ice-covered lake, 180 m above sea level, about 7 km north-east of Diamond Hill in the Brown Hills. Discovered by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (1962-63). Named after Professor A.T. Wilson of the Victoria University of Wellington who has investigated lakes in the ice-free valleys west of McMurdo Sound.

An irregular-shaped lake in the eastern part of the Vestfold Hills. Photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1956 and ANARE in 1957 and 1958.

A narrow bathymetric deep, deeper than 1000 m about 55 nautical miles south from Fram Bank. The Lambert Deep apparently extends from under the western part of the Amery Ice shelf for at least 25 km to the ENE. Named because of the proximity of the feature to the Lambert Glacier.

A major glacier draining a large area of the plateau to the east and south of the Prince Charles Mountains, and extending northward to the Amery Ice Shelf. Discovered by ANARE during photo-survey flights in 1956.

A small peak about 16 km NNW of Mount Harding in the Grove Mountains, Princess Elizabeth Land. Plotted from ANARE air photographs. Named after G. Lamberts, topographic draughtsman with the (then) Division of National Mapping.

A rock bluff on the south coast just east of Fiftyone Glacier, Heard Island.

The only gully on Wireless Hill with running water. This gully was favoured in the early years by the ewes at lambing time. There are no longer sheep on the Island.

An ice dome, 526 m above sea level, on Tange Promontory, Enderby Land. Photographed by ANARE in 1956 and the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1957. Named by the Soviet Expedition after S.M. Lamykin, Soviet hydrographer.

The beach on the eastern side of the Isthmus at Macquarie Island which was used for landing parties on the Island.

A rock mass with a steep slope on the eastern side, with several small outcrops just to the south-west. It is located on the south-west part of Sandefjord Bay, about 26 km west of Mount Caroline Mikkelsen. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Strandknatten (The Strand Crag). A survey cairn was erected on the highest point by ANARE in 1968. So named because of its proximity to the landing place for stores and equipment for the ANARE Amery Ice Shelf party in January-March, 1968.

A rocky point on the Mawson Coast of Mac.Robertson Land about one mile ESE of Safety Island. Plotted from ANARE air photographs taken in 1956. Visited by ANARE parties in 1962 and 1965. From this point access to the plateau is possible. It is almost due south of Auster Rookery and affords an excellent landmark if approaching the penguin colony along the coast from Mawson.

A broad, domed ice promontory on the western side of the Amery Ice Shelf. Plotted from air photographs taken from an ANARE aircraft in 1956. The region was first visited by an ANARE party led by D.R. Carstens in November, 1962. Named after I. Landon-Smith, glaciologist at Mawson in 1962, a member of the field party.
