An irregularly shaped lake consisting of three connected basins, orientated NE-SW, situated just west of Shield Lake on Broad Peninsula, Vestfold Hills. The lake was one of several lakes investigated by ANARE biologists wintering at Davis in 1974.

The northern peak of the South Masson Range in Mac.Robertson Land. The peak appears as a short ridge from east to west, but an inverted ''V'' from north or south. P.A. Trost, physicist at Mawson in 1958

Two rock outcrops at the north-eastern end of Single Promontory, on the western side of the Amery Ice Shelf. The rocks rise about 91 m above the ice shelf. Photographed from an ANARE aircraft in 1956. An astrofix position was obtained on 8 December, 1962, by D.R. Carstens, surveyor at Mawson. Named after Peter A. Trost, electronics engineer at Mawson in 1962, a member of the field party which visited the rocks.

A nunatak about 13 km south of Alderdice Peak in the Nye Mountains, Enderby Land. Named by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition after the Soviet magnetician N.N. Trubyatchinskiy.

A valley on the southern side of Windwhistle Peak in the Allan Hills. Discovered by the NZARP Allan Hills Expedition (1964) who named it after the many journeys along its length.

A small, partly snow-covered nunatak about 15 km north of Mount Harding in the Grove Mountains, Princess Elizabeth Land. Plotted from ANARE air photographs. Named after M.J. Truman, electrical fitter at Mawson in 1962.

A shingle, rock and sand beach on Heard Island about 1 kilometre in length to the south east of Stephenson Lagoon. When the area was last visited in 1993 the ANARE Spit Bay hut was on this beach.

An open bay at the northern end of the Vestfold Hills. Plotted from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen expedition (1936-37) and called Trynevika (The Snout Bay). A landing was made on the mainland on 9 January, 1939, from the Wyatt Earp by Sir Hubert Wilkins, who accompanied Lincoln Ellsworth on his expedition.

A low, but rather rough and steep pass rising to 10 m above sea level, between the south-western arm of Tryne Fjord and Long Fjord. Used for portage of sledges and probably suitable for tracked vehicles. The area was mapped from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37); also photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). First traversed by an ANARE party led by Bruce H. Stinear on 13 May, 1957.

An irregular-shaped inlet about 7km long, on the northern side of Long Peninsula in the northern part of the Vestfold Hills. It extends from Tryne Crossing to the point on Long Peninsula south of Barrier Island. The latter demarcating Tryne Sound from Tryne Fjord.

The largest and most southern of the Tryne Islands. It is a low, rocky island, about 3 km long, with a marked identation on its western side. It lies in the entrance to Tryne Fjord. Charted by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) as part of Long Peninsula and called Langnestrynet.

A group of numerous small islands at the northern end of the Vestfold Hills.Called Trynxyane (The Snout Islands) by Norwegian cartographers who mapped them from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37).

A rock point on the eastern end of Law Promontory, Kemp Land. Mapped from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Trynet (The Snout).

A short, narrow passage, between the eastern side of Tryne Island and the mainland at the northern end of the Vestfold Hills.

A prominent, isolated peak, about 244 m high, about 3 km SSE of Taylor Rookery in Mac.Robertson Land. Mapped from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and called Svartpiggen (The Black Peak) by Norwegian cartographers.

A group of numerous peaks extending eastward from Amundsen Bay in Enderby Land. Discovered on 13 or 14 January, 1930, by BANZARE under Sir Douglas Mawson, who named these mountains the Tula Range after John Biscoe's ship Tula. A landing was made from a launch near Mt. Riiser-Larsen by an ANARE party led by Phillip Law in February, 1958. The mountains were traversed and surveyed in December, 1958, by G.A. Knuckey and an ANARE dog-sledge party.

A hill, in the southern part of Stornes Peninsula in the Larsemann Hills, sloping down to two lakes on its eastern side.

A low hill about 7 km north-east of Mount Hayter. Discovered by the N.Z. Geological Expedition (1964-65). Named after the curious sedimentary features in the Beacon Sandstone making up part of the hill.

Three high bluffs with vertical faces on the north-west, merging with the ice-sheet to the south-east, on the eastern side of the Robert Glacier, Kemp Land, about 30 km north-east of Rayner Peak. Plotted from ANARE air photographs. First visited by I.R. McLeod and J Arthurson of ANARE on 21 February, 1965.
