The highest peak of the Munro Kerr Mountains at the head of Sandefjord Bay of the Ingrid Christensen Coast of Princess Elizabeth Land. It is about 235 m above sea level. The Munro Kerr Mountains were sighted and named by BANZARE (1929-31) during an aeroplane flight on 11 February, 1931. The mountain itself was discovered on 20 February, 1935, by a Norwegian whaling ship under Capt. Klarius Mikkelsen, who named it after his wife, who accompanied him on this expedition.

A mountain just east of Mount Albion in the Athos Range, Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photographs. Named after W J Cartledge, plumber at Wilkes in 1962, carpenter at Mawson in 1966.

A mountain about 9 km south of Mount Keltie in the Conway Range. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-04) under Captain R F Scott, who named it after R Chalmers, Assistant Secretary of the British Treasury, 1903-07.

A prominent, isolated peak about 57km SSW of Rayner Peak in Kemp Land. Mapped from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Nevlingen by Norwegian cartographers. First visited by an ANARE dog-sledge party in December, 1958, when an astrofix was obtained by G A Knuckey.

A mountain about 6 km south of Mount Cronus, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photographs taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956 and 1957. The chart drawn by John Biscoe shows four mountains in what is now named the Scott Mountains. These four mountains were named Charles, Henry, George and Gordon after the Enderby Brothers (and their brother-in-law), owners of Biscoe's vessels. It has not been possible to identify the mountain so named by Biscoe but in order to perpetuate the name it has been applied to this feature.

An ice-covered and very high point on the continental ice cap in Enderby Land about 37 km south of Casey Bay. Discovered on 13 January,1930, by BANZARE (1929-31) under Mawson, who named it after Lars Christensen, Norwegian whaling magnate.

Two main peaks in Enderby Land about 100 m apart but connected at the base. From the Western Peak a mostly snow covered ridge extends west for 500 m with minor peaks. Another ridge extends north for 1000 m.

A peak at the southern end of the northern massif of the David Range. Discovered and named on 13-14 February, 1931, by Sir Douglas Mawson, BANZARE.
