. A conspicuous ridge about long, extending west along the south side of Yeats Glacier and terminating at Shackleton Glacier. Named by the

Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition The Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition took place first from 1962/63 and then again from 1964/65. The expedition, led by F. Alton Wade, was sponsored by Texas Technological College (now Texas Tech University). It explored areas of Antarctica. ...

(1964-65) for CWO James J. Lockhart, pilot with the U.S. Army Aviation Detachment which supported the expedition.

Pendant Ridge

. A ridge about long, extending southwest to the north side of the mouth of McGregor Glacier, northwest of Simplicity Hill. So named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition (1964 65) because a pyramidal peak at its southern extremity appears to be dangling from the ridge as a pendant.

Simplicity Hill

. A small ice-free hill rising west of Crilly Hill, at the north side of McGregor Glacier. So named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition (1964-65) because of the ease with which they were able to approach the feature, and because of the relative simplicity of its geologic nature.

Crilly Hill

. The central of three ice-free hills at the north side of McGregor Glacier, south-southwest of Mount Finley. Named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition (1964-65) for Specialist 6th Class Clifford L. Crilly, medic with the U.S. Army Aviation Detachment which supported the expedition.

Keel Hill

. A small ice-free hill, standing at the north side of McGregor Glacier, about east of Crilly Hill, in the Queen Maud Mountains. Named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition (1964-65) for Specialist 5th Class Elbert E. Keel, member of the U.S. Army Aviation Detachment which supported the expedition.

Bynum Peak

. A rock peak southeast of Mount Finley, overlooking the north side of McGregor Glacier in the Queen Maud Mountains. Named by US-ACAN for Gaither D. Bynum, USARP satellite geodesist at McMurdo Station, winter 1965.
