A bare rock exposure, elongated east-west in the southern Prince Charles Mountains, about 63 km SSW of Fisher Massif. Discovered on 28 November, 1956, from an ANARE aircraft engaged on aerial photography. Named after B. Izabelle, weather observer at Mawson in 1957.

A conical peak with a spur running west from the main snow slope on the north-west face. It rises about 300 m above the surrounding plateau to 1,557 m above sea level. It is the eastern-most peak of the Athos Range in the Prince Charles Mountains. First visited by the ANARE southern party, 1956-57, led by William G. Bewsher. Named after Robert M. Jacklyn, cosmic ray physicist at Mawson in 1956. Altitude and coordinates are at western end of mountain.

A mountain on the south-east coast of Macquarie Island. Named after SN Jeffryes of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 1911-13.

A mountain about 6 km south of Mount Cordwell, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photographs taken by ANARE in 1957. Named after F. Jewell, geophysicist at Wilkes in 1961.

A crest on the western end of a 4 km long ridge on the northern face of the Aramis Range, in the Prince Charles Mountains. It is approximately 1,554 m high and rises about 244 m above Charybdis Glacier. First visited by the ANARE southern party led by William G. Bewsher in December, 1956. Named after Sgt. G. Johansen, RAAF, airframe fitter at Mawson in 1956.

An isolated, almost flat-topped, steep-sided rock outcrop in the southern Prince Charles Mountains on the western side of the Lambert Glacier, in Mac.Robertson Land. Discovered in November, 1956, during a photographic flight by an ANARE aircraft. Named after D.H. Johns, physicist at Mawson in 1957.

Highest peak of the Fisher Massif in the Prince Charles Mountains. First visited by an ANARE party led by Bruce H. Stinear in October, 1957. Named after Flying Officer D.M. Johnston, RAAF pilot with the Antarctic Flight at Mawson in 1957.

A mountain in the Conway Range on the western side of the Ross Ice Shelf. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-04) under Scott, who named it after Sir John Scott Keltie, Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, 1892-1915.

A peak, 2 km south of Mt. Rivett in Mac.Robertson Land. Land was seen in this vicinity during aeroplane flights by BANZARE (1929-31) on 31 December, 1929, and 5 January, 1930. The area was visited by BANZARE on 13 February, 1931, when a landing was made at Scullin Monolith. Named after A.L. Kennedy, physicist with BANZARE, 1930-31. Mawson's maps show three peaks in this area for which he proposed, at various times, four names, Rivett, Marsden, Kennedy and Hinks. The names of Rivett and Hinks were not used when they indicated they did not wish their names to appear on the map. As a result of photography by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) four peaks were found and all four names were applied.

A mountain, mostly ice-covered, about 9 km west of Rayner Peak, Kemp Land. Plotted from air photographs taken by ANARE in 1959.

A mountain about 1 km south of Mount Creighton in the Porthos Range, Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photographs. Named after A.G. Kerr, physicist at Mawson in 1967.

A mountain about 6 km ENE of Mount Ryder, Enderby Land. Plotted from air photographs taken by ANARE in 1957. Named after D.O. Keyser, radio officer at Mawson in 1961.

A mountain on the southern part of the plateau at Macquarie Island and just south of Waterfall Lake. Named after Sir Edward Kidson, an early New Zealand Dominion meteorologist.

A large, smooth-crested mountain in the eastern extremity of the Tula Mountains. Discovered and mapped in December, 1958, by an ANARE dog-sledge party led by G.A. Knuckey. Named after Peter W. King, radio officer at Mawson in 1957 and 1958, a member of the dog-sledge party.

A very large, prominent, flat-topped mountain on the northern face of the Porthos Range in the Prince Charles Mountains. It is approximately 9 km long east-west and 4 km wide at the western end, tapering to the east. It rises to approximmately 2,100m (about 460 m above the plateau). First visited by the ANARE southern party led by William G. Bewsher in December, 1956. Named after S.L. Kirkby, surveyor at Mawson in 1956 and 1960.

A mountain 6.5 km south-west of Mount Dowie in the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photographs. Named after Dr. K. Kizaki, glaciologist at Mawson in 1966.

A peak about 1,220 m above sea level, 50 km west of Magnet Bay in Enderby Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Kjerringa (The Old Woman).

A prominent mountain peak about 4 km NNW of Lyttelton Peak. Discovered by the N.Z. Geological Expedition (1964-65). The name is the Maori word for 'arrow'. The triangular cross-section of the mountain when viewed from most directions suggests an arrow-head.

A peak, 1,793 m above sea level, 11 km north of Mount Keltie in the Conway Range. Mapped from air photographs taken by the US Navy. Named by USACAN after A. Kosko, Ionosphere physicist in the winter party at Byrd Station in 1963.
