An isolated nunatak lying northward of David Glacier and 21 km north-east of Mt Kring in Victoria Land.

A mountain, about 2,667 m above sea level, on the western side of Sandford Cliffs. Plotted by the US Geological Survey from air photographs taken by the US Navy in 1960-62. Named after C.W. Wyman, ionospheric scientist at Little America Station in the winter of 1957.

A mountain on the eastern side of the Condon Hills in Enderby Land. The geology of this feature was investigated by the Soviet Expedition which called it Gora Yuzhnaya (Southern Mountain).

A peak about 2,220 m above sea level at the northern side of the head of Silk Glacier. Mapped from air photographs taken by the US Navy.

A partly ice-covered island, 235 m high, about two km from the southern end of Gillock Island in the Amery Ice Shelf. Photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) and ANARE 1958. First visited by a party led by John Manning, from the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey in January 1969. Named after A. Moushino, pilot of the Beaver aircraft with the 1969 ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party.

A group of small islands off the coast on the western side of Watt Bay, George V Land. Discovered by AAE (1911-14) under Sir Douglas Mawson, who named them after M.H. Moyes, a member of the expedition.

A peak about 38 km south of Cape Simpson in Mac.Robertson Land. Discovered on 18 February, 1931, by BANARE (1929-31) under Sir Douglas Mawson. Named after Instr. Cmdr. M.H. Moyes, RAN, cartographer with the expedition, 1929-30.

Small, boot-shaped island in the Donskiye Islands group located off Broad Peninsula, Vestfold Hills. It is the largest island west of Redfern Island.

The highest point of the 600 m high northern wall of Mount Rubin in the southern Prince Charles Mountains. Photographed by ANARE in 1960. The feature was the site of a geodetic survey station during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1972. So named because the rough rock surface in the area ruined the mukluks of the geologist with the survey party.

A small island about 1 km long and up to 0.5 km wide, off the southern part of the Vestfold Hills.

A peninsula lying just north of Crooked Fjord in the southern part of the Vestfold Hills.

A rocky point projecting from the eastern side of East Stack in Kemp Land. The name Mule was applied by Norwegian cartographers to a rocky point just south of East Stack. ANARE photography has shown that this feature is part of East Stack. The feature was first visited by an ANARE party led by Robert Dovers in 1954.

A small island off the coast of Enderby Land, about 6 km ENE of Boobyalla Islands. Plotted from ANARE air photographs taken in 1956. Mulga is the vernacular name for species of Acacia found in semi-desert areas of Australia.

A prominent nunatak, 1710 m above sea level, in the Darwin Glacier at about its mid-length. Discovered by the Darwin Glacier Party of the TSAE (1956-58). Named after P.D. Mulgrew, chief radio operator at Scott Base, who accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary to the South Pole.

A very large glacier draining ESE into Mulock Inlet (Ross Dependency) in the north-west corner of the Ross Ice Shelf. Named by NZAPC from Mulock Inlet.

A group of peaks in Princess Elizabeth Land. Possibly first sighted by BANZARE (1929-31) on 9 February, 1931, and seen again during the aeroplane flight on 11 February, 1931. These mountains were placed by Sir Douglas Mawson in about 68 degrees 47'' S, 73 degrees 24'' E. The Norwegian, Sjxvold, on 24 January, 1931, when in about 68 degrees S., 74 degrees E., claimed to have sighted what he thought were volcanic mountains in the south-west and these were called the Sjxvold Mountains by the Norwegians. It would appear that both Mawson and Sjxvold were in error regarding direction and distance of the mountains, which undoubtedly included Mt. Caroline Mikkelsen, seen and named by Capt. Klarius Mikkelsen on 20 February, 1935. Mawson named the mountains after the first member of the Australian Naval Board at the time of the expedition.

An oval lake in the Larsemann Hills situated in a very flat valley floor, with a vertical snow and ice cliff on its northern shore.

A bay about 13 km wide, just west of Cape Bage, on the coast of George V Land. Discovered in 1912 by AAE (1911-14) under Sir Douglas Mawson, who named it after H.D. Murphy, a member of the expedition.

Two rounded, dark grey rocks in the sea about 200 m in diameter and about 2 km offshore in the Vestfold Hills. Survey station NM/S/ 268 was established there in January 1979.

A dome-shaped rock feature, with flat areas to the north and east of the feature, situated about 6 km south-east of Mount McKenzie in the Amery Peaks, Prince Charles Mountains. Plotted from ANARE air photographs taken by ANARE in 1956 and 1960. Named after Dr. L. Murray, medical officer at Macquarie Island in 1963 and medical officer at Wilkes in 1964.
