A small eminence marking the highest point of Cooper Nunatak in the Brown Hills. Discovered by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (1962-63). So named because of its small size.

A rocky island on the coast of George V Land near Point Alden. Discovered by the first French expedition to Terre Adelie (1949) under the direction of Andri Liotard during a trip to Cape Denison. Called Rocher du Douanier because it seemed to guard the limit of the French sector. When later analysis of French results showed the feature to be in the Australian Antarctic Territory, it was decided to retain the name Douanier.

A crescent shaped bay, approximately 1.3 kilometres across at the base of and between the arms of Scullin Monolith.
Named after Group Captain Eric Douglas, Polar Medal and Clasp with the BANZARE expedition 1929/31 and 1930/31 under the command of Sir Douglas Mawson.

Two small islands with three rocky outliers, about 33 km north-east of Mawson. During an aircraft flight from the Discovery (BANZARE under Mawson) on 31 December, l929, a group of islands was reported in about 66 degrees 40' 64 degrees 30' to which Mawson applied the name Douglas Islands. As a result of the 1931 voyage of the Discovery, the islands were placed in about 67degrees 20' 63degrees 32'. Norwegian exploration raised doubts about the existence of the islands. In 1956, an ANARE sledge party led by Peter.W. Crohn was unable to find the islands in their charted position but found two uncharted islands farther south to which the name has now been applied. Named after Rear Admiral H.P. Douglas, CMG, Hydrographer, FN, 1929.

A peak about 1,524 m high, about 20 km south-west of Mt. Codrington in Enderby Land. Probably discovered on 13 or 14 January, 1930, by BANZARE under Sir Douglas Mawson and named after Pilot Officer E. Douglas, RAAF, pilot with the expedition.

A point on the west coast of Macquarie Island.

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.

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.
