510:. A glacier pass at about 400 metres (1,300 ft) high, running northwest–southeast between Bowditch Crests and Rock Pile Peaks. The pass leads from Solberg Inlet to Mobiloil Inlet. The feature was photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth, 1935, the USAS, 1939-41, and RARE, 1947–48. Named after Alison Wilson, of the Center for Polar Archives, National Archives, Washington, DC, who has been associated with Antarctic research from 1957; member, United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, 1974-94; Chair, 1986-93.

548:. A steep rock point on the south side of Bermel Peninsula, marking the extremity of a spur running southeast from the easternmost of the Bowditch Crests. The point was first roughly mapped by W. L. G. Joerg from air photos taken by Lincoln Ellsworth on November 23, 1935; surveyed by FIDS, December 1958. In association with the names of pioneers of navigation grouped in this area, it was named by UK-APC after
594:. A peak rising to 1,670 metres (5,480 ft) high at the west end of Bowditch Crests, Bermel Peninsula. The feature is the highest point in Bowditch Crests and appears in aerial photographs taken by Sir Hubert Wilkins, 1928, and Lincoln Ellsworth, 1935; roughly mapped from the Ellsworth photographs by W. L. G. Joerg in 1937. Later photographed from the air by USAS, 1940, and

636:. A mountain rising to about 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) high in the west part of Bermel Peninsula. This mountain appears indistinctly in a photograph taken by Sir Hubert Wilkins on his flight of December 20, 1928. The feature was rephotographed in 1935 by Lincoln Ellwsorth, in 1940 by USAS, and in 1947 by
384:. The east point of Bermel Peninsula. This feature was photographed from the air and roughly positioned by USAS, 1939-41, which applied the descriptive name Rock Pile Point to the peninsula. The name was subsequently reapplied by US-ACAN to the east point.
266:(USAS) explored this area from the ground, 1939–41, roughly positioning the peninsula. The USAS also photographed the feature from the air in 1940, referring to it as "The Rock Pile" or "Rock Pile Point" from the appearance as a jumbled mass of peaks. The
