The feature rises from the west part of the Separation Range and overlooks the terminus of Hood Glacier. Named by the New Zealand Alpine Club Antarctic Expedition (1959–60) whose four members were landed in the vicinity by aircraft of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6. 337:. A bluff-type mountain on the east side of Separation Range. It overlooks the west side of Canyon Glacier 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) northwest of Nadeau Bluff.

A spur, 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) long, descending north-northwest from the base of Separation Range into the east side of Hood Glacier. So named by the New Zealand Alpine Club Antarctic Expedition (1959–60) because they climbed the spur to obtain a panorama of Hood Glacier, which they had just traversed. 299:. A distinctive rock outcrop at the north end of Retrospect Spur, near the head of Hood Glacier. A New Zealand party climbed Retrospect Spur during the 1959–60 season. They gave the name Chevron Rocks because of their appearance, resembling the stripes worn by non-commissioned officers.} 375:. A narrow spur at the southwest base of Cleft Peak. The spur descends westward to the edge of Hood Glacier. So named because it was ascended to obtain a view up Hood Glacier in order to prospect a route to the south.
