[2] Black Island is in the Ross Ice Shelf to the northeast of Mount Discovery and southeast of the Brown Peninsula.

[3] Black Island is volcanic in origin, consisting of a series of trachytic lava domes and basaltic pyroclastic cones.

The mountain rises to 600 metres (2,000 ft) high and is similar to the flat Cape Beck massif that forms the south end of the island.

Named by US-ACAN (1999) after John S. Stuckless, Department of Geology, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb (later United States Geological Survey), who, in several seasons from 1972-73, investigated the geochemistry of McMurdo volcanic rocks, correlating samples from several Ross Island sites with DVDP core samples obtained in McMurdo Dry Valleys.

A cluster of nunataks 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) northwest of Cape Beck in the southwest part of Black Island.

Rowe, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, who investigated volcanic activity and seismicity at nearby Mount Erebus, 1984-85 and 1985-86.

The knoll is ice free on the west slope and stands 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) southwest of Mount Vision.

Named by US-ACAN (2007) after Dennis Hoffman, who in 2006 completed 20 years of service in support of the United States Antarctic Program.

He worked as a carpenter, advanced to the computer tech shop and on to network engineer in eight summer seasons and 13 winters at McMurdo Station.

A sharp point of rock at the end of a ridge formed by a lava flow, situated 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southeast of Mount Aurora.

Named by the NZGSAE (1958-59) after the Aurora, the vessel which conveyed the Ross Sea Party of Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-17) to McMurdo Sound.

A volcanic crater, partly eroded away, lying 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) east of Mount Aurora on Black Island.

A peak in the volcanic complex 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) northwest of Mount Aurora on Black Island.

So named by the NZGSAE (1958-59) because of the magnificent view obtained of the peaks in this vicinity and of the Ross Archipelago and Minna Bluff area.

A volcanic dome rising to 225 metres (738 ft) high directly behind Cape Spirit on Black Island.

Named by the NZGSAE (1958-59) after a fossiliferous conglomerate on top of the hill which contains a Chlamid lamellibranch commonly called scallops.

An ice-free mountain rising to 213 metres (699 ft) high at the northwest side of Lake Cole and 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) west of Mount Melania.
