The Discovery started on the last lap of its journey south from Lyttelton, where very generous assistance was given the expedition.

[4] According to Sailing Directions for Antarctica (1976): Mount Christchurch, about 4,700 feet high, lies northeastward of Mount Markham, and from this peak the high land descends in a wide snow plateau covering the foothills to Cape Lyttelton (Cape Lyttleton), the southern entrance point of Shackleton Inlet.

Southward of this cape stands Mount Longstaff, about 10,350 feet high, which as seen from the northward has two sharp peaks.

Group of hills 5 miles (8.0 km) west-south-west of Cape Lyttelton on the south side of Nimrod Glacier.

An ice-free peak, 1,346 metres (4,416 ft) high, which marks the summit of Campbell Hills on the southern side of Nimrod Glacier.

In 2005, in association with Mount Christchurch, the New Zealand Geographic Board named this peak after Walter R. Seelig (1919-2005), the National Science Foundation Representative in Christchurch during eleven U.S. Antarctic Research Program (USARP) austral deployments between 1971 and 1986 (Mount Seelig, q.v.).

Mountain, 1,355 metres (4,446 ft) high, standing 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Cape Lyttelton on the south side of Shackleton Inlet.

Traversed by the southern party of the NZGSAE (1959-60) and so named because Whakawhiti is a Maori word meaning "crossing over.
