Whirlwind Inlet Whirlwind Inlet ( ) is an ice-filled inlet that recedes inland for 7 nautical miles (13 km) and is 12 nautical miles (22 km) wide at its entrance between Cape Northrop and Tent Nunatak, along the east coast of Graham Land. Sir Hubert Wilkins discovered the inlet on his flight of December 20, 1928. Wilkins reported four large glaciers flowing into the inlet, which he named Whirlwind Glaciers because their relative position was suggestive of the radial cylinders of his Wright Whirlwind engine. The inlet was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in 1940 and charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947.

Mount Guernsey Mount Guernsey ( ) is an isolated, mainly ice-covered mountain, 1,250 m high, standing 6 nmi north of the summit of Mount Edgell, on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The name "Ile Guernesey" was given in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, after the island of Guernsey off the coast of France. The position of "Ile Guernesey" on the French expedition maps does not agree with that of the mountain described above, but from the narrative and sketches by Maurice Bongrain, the expedition surveyor, it has been determined that this mountain was the feature seen in 1909 by Charcot from a position near the center of the entrance to Marguerite Bay. The mountain was surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition, but no name was assigned. It was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1948.

Mercator Ice Piedmont Mercator Ice Piedmont ( ) is a gently-sloping ice piedmont at the head of Mobiloil Inlet, formed by the confluence of the Gibbs, Lammers, Cole and Weyerhaeuser Glaciers in eastern Graham Land, Antarctica. The feature was first photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth in November 1935, and was plotted from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg as the lower end of a "major valley depression" along the coast. It was first seen from the ground by Finn Ronne and Carl R. Eklund of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, which also obtained air photos. The ice piedmont was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in December 1958, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Flemish mathematician and geographer Gerardus Mercator, the originator, in 1568, of the map projection which bears his name.

Cape Darlington Cape Darlington ( ) is an ice-covered headland which rises to 305 m , forming the south side of the entrance to Hilton Inlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land. It was discovered in 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), but at that time it was thought to be an island. Its true nature was determined in an aerial flight by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Finn Ronne, in November 1947. It was named by the USAS for Harry Darlington III, a member of the East Base sledging party that explored this coast as far south as Hilton Inlet. Darlington was also a member of the RARE.
