It was discovered and named by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE) of 1901–04 in the Discovery in January 1902, while searching for safe winter quarters for the ship.

As chief of the Science and Application Branch, he was instrumental to United States Geological Survey (USGS) Antarctic mapping and geodesy programs during the 1990s.

The New Zealand Northern Survey-Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956-58) established a survey station on its highest point in October 1957.

A small, deeply entrenched glacier on the east coast of Victoria Land, entering Granite Harbor north of Dreikanter Head.

The triangular appearance of the feature when viewed from the southeast suggests the name; "Dreikantig" is a German word meaning three-edged.

A glacier draining eastward from Mount Marston and Doublefinger Peak and entering Granite Harbor between Dreikanter Head and the Kar Plateau.

The New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) ascended this glacier en route to Mount Marston in October 1957.

A dark rock point emerging from the icy coast of Victoria Land, immediately south of Mackay Glacier.

Mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13 and so named because the dark rock resembles a hand extending from a snowy cuff.

Bowl-shaped cove (an empty cirque, the floor of which is below sea level) in the southwest corner of Granite Harbor, between Devils Ridge and the south side of The Flatiron.

Charted by the British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13 under Scott, and named for its suggestive appearance, hanging on the edge of Devils Punchbowl.

Rocky, sickle-shaped ridge extending from the south end of The Flatiron and forming the north wall of New Glacier, close west of Granite Harbor.

Rocky knob, 245 metres (804 ft) high, marking the central part of Devils Ridge, just west of Granite Harbor.

Charted and named by G. Taylor, of the British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13, because he walked around a bluff and saw a glacier where none was expected, in the corner of Granite Harbor.

A low, gravel-covered point marking the west limit of Botany Bay, in the south part of Granite Harbor.

Small bight between Cape Geology and Discovery Bluff in the south part of Granite Harbor, Victoria Land.

Mapped by the Western Geological Party of the British Antarctic Expedition under Scott, who explored the Granite Harbor area in 1911-12.

Conspicuous headland forming the west side of the entrance to Avalanche Bay in Granite Harbor, Victoria Land.

Bay 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) wide, lying just southeast of Discovery Bluff in Granite Harbor.

Named by the Granite Harbor Geological Party, led by Taylor, of the British Antarctic Expedition 1910-13, because these cliffs have numerous chimneys and couloirs.

A snow filled cleft along the east face of the peak separates two dark rock exposures, suggesting the origin of the name.
