564:. A low gradient coastal glacier located 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) west of Scott Nunataks on the north side of Edward VII Peninsula. The feature saddles with the Butler Glacier and flows northwest to the sea where it forms a small tongue. The glacier and tongue are depicted on the map of the ByrdAE, 1928-30. The map indicates that the landing party from the Kainan Mam (Shirase) traversed up this glacier to the summit of Scott Nunataks in January 1912. The glacier was mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN for Gregory S. Richter, meteorologist and scientific leader of the Byrd Station winter party in 1968.
716:. A snow-covered peninsula along the north side of Edward VII Peninsula. It extends between the lower ends of the Dalton and Gerry Glaciers into southern Sulzberger Bay. This area was explored from the air and rudely mapped by the ByrdAE, 1928-30. The peninsula was mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN, at the suggestion of Admiral R.E. Byrd, for John M. Reeves (of Reeves Brothers, Inc.) who assisted the ByrdAE of 1928-30 and 1933-35 with contributions of sheepskin-lined coats, and by the development and donation of windproof material for cold weather clothing.

640:. An ice shelf just north of Edward VII Peninsula and the Alexandra Mountains in the south part of Sulzberger Bay. The ice shelf is 20 nautical miles (37 km; 23 mi) long and 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) wide and extends from Fisher Island to the White Islands. It was photographed from aircraft and mapped by the ByrdAE, 1928-30. Named by US-ACAN for Captain H.W Swinburne, Jr., Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff, United States Naval Support Force, Antarctica, during Deep Freeze 1970 and 1971.

754:. A glacier on Edward VII Peninsula, flowing north between Reeves Peninsula and Howard Heights to the head of Sulzberger Bay. Features in this area were photographed from the air and mapped by the ByrdAE, 1928–30 and 1933-35. This glacier was mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN (at the suggestion of R. Admiral R.E. Byrd) for United States Senator Peter G. Gerry of Rhode Island, long time friend of the Byrd family and contributor to the ByrdAE, 1933-35.
678:. A short, steep glacier just east of Scott Nuna'taks, flowing north into Swinburne Ice Shelf along the southwest side of Sulzberger Bay. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-66. Named by US-ACAN for William A. Cumbie, Jr., AT2, United States Navy. An aviation electronics technician, Cumbie was radioman on the ski-equipped R4D aircraft carrying R. Admiral George Dufek, United States Navy, that was first to land at the geographic South Pole, October 31, 1956.
445:. The largest and northernmost of the ice-covered White Islands, in southern Sulzberger Bay. The feature is rudely delineated on the map of the ByrdAE, 1928–30, and is indicated as "low ice cliffs" that rise above the ice shelf in this part of the bay. Mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named for Michael L. Olson, USARP ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station, winter party 1968, and a member of the Plateau Station summer party, 1968-69.
483:. The large central island (between Olson Island and Chandler Island) of the White Islands in southern Sulzberger Bay. It is rudely delineated on the map of the ByrdAE, 1928–30, and indicated as "low ice cliffs" that rise above the ice shelf in this part of the bay. Mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named for James Webber, USARP ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station, 1968-69 season.

Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by US-ACAN for Alan Chandler, electrical engineer with the Byrd Station winter party in 1969.
602:. An ice-covered island 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) long, lying just north of Edward VII Peninsula where it marks the west side of the entrance to Sulzberger Bay. Mapped from surveys by the USGS and United States Navy air photos (1959–65). Named by US-ACAN for Wayne Fisher of the United States Department of State.
