Three peaks, the highest 1,460 metres (4,790 ft) high, extending in a northwest–southeast direction for 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi), standing 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) west of Cape Rymill on the east side of Palmer Land. This feature was photographed from the air in 1928 by Sir Hubert Wilkins, and again in 1940 by members of the USAS who also sledge surveyed along this coast. The peaks were resighted by the RARE, 1947-48, under Ronne, who named them for Bud Engel, president of the Albert Richard Division of the Osterman Co., Milwaukee, who contributed garments suitable for winter use to the expedition.

The mountain lies on the fringe of the area explored by the BGLE in 1936, and was photographed from the air by the USAS in 1940. During 1947 the mountain was photographed from the air by members of the RARE, under Ronne, who in conjunction with the

The island is 36 nautical miles (67 km; 41 mi) long, in a north–south direction, 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) wide, and rises to 365 metres (1,198 ft) high.

556:. A prominent black rock with steep sides rising to 700 metres (2,300 ft) high, standing 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) southwest of Cape Rymill. It was named Rhino Horn Rock for its suggestive appearance by members of the East Base of the USAS who charted the area on land and from the air in 1940, but the name has been shortened to Rhino Rock.

Examination of aerial photographs have shown, however, that this large island is what Wilkins considered Hearst Land.
834:. Rugged coastal heights rising to 1,070 metres (3,510 ft) high between the mouths of Bingham and Lurabee Glaciers, on the east coast of Palmer Land. Discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins in an aerial flight on December 20, 1928. He considered the heights to be islands lying in a great transverse channel across
