Royal Society Range
The Royal Society Range () is a majestic mountain range in Victoria Land, Antarctica. With its summit at , the massive Mount Lister forms the highest point in this range. Mount Lister is located along the western shore of McMurdo Sound between the Koettlitz, Skelton and Ferrar glaciers. Other notable local terrain features include Allison Glacier, which descends from the west slopes of the Royal Society Range into Skelton Glacier.
Antarctica
Due to its location at the South Pole, Antarctica receives relatively little solar radiation. This means that it is a very cold continent where water is mostly in the form of ice. Precipitation is low (most of Antarctica is a desert) and almost always in the form of snow, which accumulates and forms a giant ice sheet which covers the land. Parts of this ice sheet form moving glaciers known as ice streams, which flow towards the edges of the continent. Next to the continental shore are many ice shelves. These are floating extensions of outflowing glaciers from the continental ice mass. Offshore, temperatures are also low enough that ice is formed from seawater through most of the year. It is important to understand the various types of Antarctic ice to understand possible effects on sea levels and the implications of global cooling.
Carnein Glacier
Carnein Glacier () is a glacier draining the southeast corner of the Eisenhower Range, flowing south along the west side of McCarthy Ridge to merge with the lower Reeves Glacier at the Nansen Ice Sheet, in Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1955–63, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Carl R. Carnein, glaciologist at McMurdo Station, summer 1965–66.
Håhellerskarvet
Håhellerskarvet, meaning "shark cave mountain" in Norwegian, is a high partially ice-covered mountain between Austreskorve Glacier and Lunde Glacier in the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains of Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica. Other nearby geographic features include Håhelleren Cove, indenting the north side of Håhellerskarvet, Håhelleregga Ridge, an irregular rock ridge just north of Håhellerskarvet, Håhellerbotnen Cirque, a large cirque on the east side of Håhelleregga Ridge, and Jøkulkyrkja, a broad, ice-topped mountain located east of Lunde Glacier. All of these geographic features were plotted from surveys and air photos by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–60).
The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park
The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park is a state park of California, USA, protecting a tract of secondary forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is located outside Aptos, California and contains over of hiking trails and fire roads through of variable terrain.
Wilkins Runway
Wilkins Runway is a single runway aerodrome operated by Australia, located on upper glacier of the ice sheet Preston Heath, Budd Coast, Wilkes Land, on the continent of Antarctica, but southeast of the actual coast. It is named after Sir Hubert Wilkins, a pioneer of Antarctic aviation and exploration.
Scheuchzerhorn
The Scheuchzerhorn is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, located west of the Grimsel Pass in the canton of Bern. It lies north-east of the Oberaarhorn, on the range separating the valley of the Unteraar Glacier from the valley of the Oberaar Glacier.
Hydraotes Chaos
Hydraotes Chaos is a broken-up region in the Oxia Palus quadrangle of Mars, located at 0.8° North and 35.4° West. It is 417.5 km across and was named after a classical albedo feature name. More information and more examples of chaos regions can be found at Martian chaos terrain. The area contains small conical edifices, called Hydraotes Colles, which were interpreted as the Martian equivalent of terrestrial cinder cones formed by volcanic activity.
Eisenhower Range
The Eisenhower Range is a mountain range, about 72 km (45 mi) long and rising to 3,070 m (10,072 ft), which rises between Reeves Névé on the west, Reeves Glacier on the south, and Priestley Glacier on the north and east, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. The range is flat topped and descends gradually to Reeves Névé, but is steep cliffed and marked by sharp spurs along the Priestley Glacier.
Pointe d'Otemma
The Pointe d'Otemma is a mountain of the Swiss Pennine Alps, located south of the lake of Mauvoisin in the canton of Valais. It lies at western end of the chain separating the Brenay Glacier from the Otemma Glacier.
McCarthy Ridge
McCarthy Ridge () is a broad, mainly ice-covered ridge with steep sides forming the east wall of Carnein Glacier, in the foothills of southeastern Eisenhower Range, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1955–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Peter C. McCarthy, biolab manager at McMurdo Station, winter party 1966, under contract with the Northstar Research and Development Institute, Minneapolis, to the National Science Foundation.
Schneestock
The Schneestock is a mountain of the Urner Alps, located on the border between the Swiss cantons of Valais and Uri. It lies north of the Dammastock, between the Rhone Glacier and the Damma Glacier.
Mount Phillips (Montana)
Mount Phillips () is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Lupfer Glacier is located on the east slope of Mount Phillips.
Hohtälli
The Hohtälli is a mountain of the Swiss Pennine Alps, located southeast of Zermatt in the canton of Valais. It lies on the range that separates the Findel Glacier from the Gorner Glacier, between the Gornergrat and the Stockhorn. Its summit has an elevation of 3,275 metres and includes a cable car station. The Hohtälli is part of a ski area and features several ski runs leading down the mountain.
Glacier Park Lodge
Glacier Park Lodge is located just outside the boundaries of Glacier National Park in the village of East Glacier Park, Montana, United States. The lodge was built in 1913 by the Glacier Park Company, a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway. It was the first of a series of hotels built in and near Glacier National Park by the Great Northern to house visitors brought to the park by the railroad.
Oliver Glacier
Oliver Glacier is a glacier located on the northeast coast of the Baffin Mountains on Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. It is just outside Sirmilik National Park.
Griffiths Glacier
Griffiths Glacier is a prominent cirque-type glacier located northeast of Crisp Glacier in the Gonville and Caius Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The feature drains east-southeast to Debenham Glacier to the east of Second Facet. It was named after Harold Griffiths (died 1974) who was associated with Antarctic exploration for over 50 years. He was instrumental in the New Zealand Antarctic Society's campaign to get the New Zealand Government to establish a presence in Antarctica.
Fossil Falls
The Fossil Falls is a unique geological feature, located in the Coso Range of California in the United States. Volcanic activity in the mountain range, along with meltwater from glaciers in the nearby Sierra Nevada, played a role in the creation of the falls. They are located near the community of Little Lake, off US 395 (at a red cinder cone called "Red Hill") on Cinder Road to Red Hill, with signs to Fossil Falls.
Boulder Peak
Boulder Peak () is located in the Livingston Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. The remnant Boulder Glacier is situated on the northern slopes of the mountain.
Hardangerjøkulen
Hardangerjøkulen () is the sixth largest glacier in mainland Norway. It is located in the municipalities of Eidfjord and Ulvik in Hordaland county. It is located about northeast of the village of Eidfjord, about south of Finse, and about west of Haugastøl.
