[3] The Mackay Glacier forms on the Antarctic Plateau to the south of Gateway Nunatak and the north of Willett Range.
It is joined by Frazier Glacier to the east of Dome Nunatak and west of Gondola Ridge and Mount Suess.
Named after Mount Gran by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the CTAE (1956-58), which visited the area in November 1957.
A prominent isolated nunatak, the most westerly near the head of Mackay Glacier, standing 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) southwest of Mount Brooke where it is visible for a considerable distance from many directions.
So named in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the CTAE (1956-58) because it was necessary to make a detour on the way up the Mackay Glacier, passing south of this nunatak.
An elongated mountain marked by several conspicuous knobs, the highest and westernmost rising to 1,395 metres (4,577 ft), situated at the south side of Mackay Glacier, 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) west of Sperm Bluff.
Dome-shaped nunatak, 990 metres (3,250 ft) high, protruding above the Mackay Glacier, about 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) northwest of Mount Suess.
High rocky ridge just south of Mackay Glacier, extending northeast from Mount Suess for about 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi).
Charted by the Western Geological Party of the BrAE (1910-13) who so named it because Mount Suess, to which the ridge is joined, resembles a gondola in shape.
A group of three nunataks rising to 2,180 metres (7,150 ft) at the head of Cambridge Glacier, between the Coombs Hills and Convoy Range.
The nunataks extend west-east 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) and rise about 50 metres (160 ft) above Cambridge Glacier.
Prominent nunatak near the head of Mackay Glacier, standing 9 nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) west of Mount Gran.
Prominent rocky peak, 2,110 metres (6,920 ft) high, standing 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west of Mount Gran on the north side of Mackay Glacier.
Northern Survey Party of the CTAE (1956-58) and named by them after the birthplace in Norway of Tryggve Gran, a member of the BrAE, 1910-13.
Discovered by the BrAE (1910-13) which named it for Tryggve Gran, Norwegian naval officer who was a ski expert with the expedition.
