So named by New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1969-70, because of the occurrence of large, whitish pegmatite dykes in a rock wall at the SE spur of the peak.
Though steep on both sides and 970 metres (3,180 ft) high, the col provides a good route through Medina Peaks.
A col in the north part of Medina Peaks, about 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km; 4.0 mi) southwest of Marks Point, that allows a quick sledging route between the lower Amundsen and Scott Glaciers.
The col was explored by NZGSAE, 1969-70, and so named because it is hidden behind ridges and spurs of the peaks to the northeast and southwest of it.
A rock point extending east from the north end of Medina Peaks, at the south edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.
Named by US-ACAN for George R. Marks, logistics worker at McMurdo Station, winter party, 1962.
The peak was examined by members of NZGSAE, 1969-70, and so named because of the colorful yellow, pink and brown banded strata that mark the feature.
A low ridge that parallels the coast at the head of Ross Ice Shelf, located east of Amundsen Glacier and midway between MacDonald Nunataks and O'Brien Peak.
