688:. Large glacier flowing east along the north side of Godfrey Upland into the Traffic Circle and Mercator Ice Piedmont. This glacier appears indistinctly in an aerial photograph taken by Sir Hubert Wilkins on December 20, 1928, but shows more clearly in aerial photographs taken by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935 and the USAS in 1940. It was resighted in 1947 by the RARE under Finn Ronne, who named it for Lester Lammers, contributor of nine grown husky dogs and four puppies to the expedition.

Windy Valley, leading to
Mikkelsen Bay. A third, Cole Glacier, trends southwest along Godfrey Upland toward the Wordie Ice Shelf area. The fourth, Weyerhaeuser Glacier, trends southward toward Wakefield Highland and connects with glaciers leading westward to Wordie Ice Shelf. The fifth, Mercator Ice Piedmont, is nourished by the outflow from Weyerhaeuser, Cole and Gibbs Glaciers; it broadens as it descends eastward to the head of Mobiloil Inlet. Discovered in 1940 by members of the

1057:. A beehive-shaped nunatak in the lower part of Lammers Glacier. The feature is conspicuously located near the center of the Traffic Circle, a glacial depression which is notable for the series of prominent glaciers which flow toward, or eminate from it in a radial pattern. Discovered in 1940 by members of the East Base party of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939-41, who so named the nunatak because of its unique location in the Traffic Circle.
1077:, although the two are clearly distinct in the 1979 version of the USGS map of the region. For example, the map shows Crabeater Point in the southeast of Bowman Inlet, but Alberts (1995) says Crabeater Point is in the southeast extremity of Mobiloil Inlet. Probably the definitions were not updated when Bowman Inlet was identified and named as a separate feature. This article follows the map and describes only those features to the west of Bowman Inlet.
927:. A conspicuous, isolated mountain 1,290 metres (4,230 ft) high in the center and near the mouth of Weyerhaeuser Glacier. It has steep rock sides meeting in a sharp summit ridge. Photographed from the air by FIDS in August 1947, and by RARE (Trimetrogon photography) in December 1947. Surveyed by FIDS in December 1958. The UK-APC name is descriptive of the isolated position of the feature.
843:. The highest 1,550 metres (5,090 ft) high and most conspicuous peak on the southeast side of Mercator Ice Piedmont. The peak rises just east of the north end of Norwood Scarp. A steep rock ridge on its north side is easily recognizable from any point on the ice piedmont. Photographed from the air by the USAS on September 28, 1940. Surveyed by FIDS in 1958.

965:. A peak rising to 1,525 metres (5,003 ft) high at the west side of the terminus of Sumner Glacier, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) south-southeast of Mount Blunt. The peak was photographed from the air by the RARE, 1947, and United States Navy, 1966, and was surveyed from the ground by FIDS, 1960-61. Named in 1977 by US-ACAN for Glen Eisner,
885:. A well-defined escarpment, 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi) long and rising to 1,525 metres (5,003 ft) high, forming part of the east flank of Weyerhaeuser Glacier. Photographed from the air by the USAS on September 28, 1940 and by FIDS, August 14, 1947. Roughly surveyed by FIDS in December 1958 and November 1960. Named by UK-APC after

It was roughly surveyed by FIDS in December 1958, and resurveyed in November 1960. Named by UK-APC after
