Lillie Glacier () is a large glacier in Antarctica, about long and wide. It lies between the Bowers Mountains on the west and the Concord Mountains and Anare Mountains on the east, flowing to Ob' Bay on the coast and forming the Lillie Glacier Tongue. Discovery and naming The glacier tongue was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and was named by the expedition for Dennis G. Lillie, a biologist on the ''Terra Nova''. The name Lillie has since been extended to the entire glacier. The lower half of the glacier was plotted by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE) ('' Thala Dan'') in 1962, which explored the area and utilized air photos taken by United States Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47. The whole feature was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960–62. On 22 October 1964 a United States Navy ski-equipped LC-47 airplane flew from Hallett Station to establish a c ...

Glacier Morphology
Glacier morphology, or the form a glacier takes, is influenced by temperature, precipitation, topography, and other factors. The goal of glacial morphology is to gain a better understanding of glaciated landscapes and the way they are shaped. Types of glaciers can range from massive ice sheets, such as the Greenland ice sheet, to small cirque glaciers found perched on mountain tops. Glaciers can be grouped into two main categories: * Ice flow is constrained by the underlying bedrock topography * Ice flow is unrestricted by surrounding topography Unconstrained Glaciers Ice sheets and ice caps Ice sheets and ice caps cover the largest areas of land in comparison to other glaciers, and their ice is unconstrained by the underlying topography. They are the largest glacial ice formations and hold the vast majority of the world's fresh water. Ice sheets Ice sheets are the largest form of glacial formation. They are continent-sized ice masses that span areas over . They are dome ...

Neall Massif
West Quartzite Range () is a range, the western of two parallel quartzite ranges, situated at the east side of Houliston Glacier in the Concord Mountains, Antarctica. It was named by the Northern Party of the New Zealand Federated Mountain Clubs Antarctic Expedition (NZFMCAE), 1962–63, after the distinctive geological formation of the feature. Location The West Quartzite Range is part of the Concord Mountains. The range runs northwest–southeast, parallel to the East Quartzite Range to the east. The Houliston Glacier to its west separates it from the Neall Massif and Jago Nunataks. The Salamander Range of the Freyberg Mountains is further to the west.

Markinsenis Peak
Mount Stirling () is a mountain, high, in the Bowers Mountains, Antarctica. It is located southwest of Mount Freed where it forms part of the east wall of Leap Year Glacier. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1967–1968, after Ian Stirling, a zoologist from the University of Canterbury at Scott Base in that season. Location Mount Stirling and the nearby mountain group lie to the northeast of the Leap Year Glacier. This is a tributary of the Black Glacier, which flows past the east of the group, where it merges with the Lillie Glacier. McCann Glacier flows east from Mount Stirling to the Lillie Glacier. . The Champness Glacier runs past the north of the group. The Posey Range is to the north, the Molar Massif is to the west, and the Crown Hills are to the southwest. The Leitch Massif and King Range are to the southeast. Nearby features Ian Peak . A peak located northwest of Mount Stirling where the feature overlooks ...

Victory Mountains
The Victory Mountains () are a major group of mountains in Victoria Land, Antarctica, about long and wide, which is bounded primarily by Mariner and Tucker glaciers and the Ross Sea. They are north of the Mountaineer Range, east of the Freyberg Mountains and south of the Concord Mountains and the Admiralty Mountains. The division between the Victory Mountains and the Concord Mountains (to the northwest) is not precise but apparently lies in the vicinity of Thomson Peak. Exploration and name A Ross Sea aspect of the mountains was first obtained by early British expeditions of James Clark Ross, Carsten Borchgrevink, Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton. The mapping of the interior mountains was largely done from air photos taken by the United States Navy and surveys undertaken by New Zealand and American parties in the 1950s and 1960s. The Victory Mountains were named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) 1957-58, because of the proximity ...

Evans Névé
Rennick Glacier () is a broad glacier, nearly long, which is one of the largest in Antarctica. It rises on the polar plateau westward of Mesa Range and is wide, narrowing to near the coast. It takes its name from Rennick Bay where the glacier reaches the sea. Early exploration The seaward part of the glacier was photographed by United States Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47. The upper reaches of the Rennick Glacier were discovered and explored by the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse (VLT) in February 1960, and the first ascent made of Welcome Mountain by John Weihaupt, Alfred Stuart, Claude Lorius and Arnold Heine of the VLT party. On February 10, 1960, Lieutenant Commander Robert L. Dale, pilot of U.S. Navy (USN) Squadron VX-6, evacuated the VLT from , on this glacier, and then conducted an aerial photographic reconnaissance to Rennick Bay on the coast before returning the VLT team to McMurdo Station. Course The Rennick Glacier rises to the east of the Tobin Mesa in th ...
