[1] The geologist Laurence M. Gould and his team flew out to this mountain range in their plane; but after landing, a snow storm blew it half a mile away onto the ice, destroying it.
This left them stranded for 11 days with limited food until the Byrd team in the Little America settlement could be reached and could send another plane to pick them up.
Named for Raymond Butler, member of the USAS party which occupied the Rockefeller Mountains seismic station during November and December 1940.
A peak in the south group of the Rockefeller Mountains, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southwest of Mount Nilsen.

A rock ridge surmounted by three peaks, standing 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) southeast of Mount Franklin.
The name, applied by US-ACAN, recalls the fact that a Fokker airplane of the ByrdAE, 1928-30, was damaged beyond repair by strong winds while it was on the ground on the south side of nearby Washington Ridge.
Discovered by the ByrdAE on a flight of January 27, 1929, and named for Commander Isaac Schlossbach, United States Navy, a member of the ByrdAE (1933-35) and member of the USAS party which occupied the Rockefeller Mountains seismic station during November-December 1940.

A broad, heavily crevassed glacier descending southwest from Edward VII Peninsula just east of the Rockefeller Mountains.
The glacier was partially delineated from aerial photographs obtained by the ByrdAE (1928-30) and subsequently was observed from the air by several United States expeditions to the area.
It is named for driver Max R. Kiel, United States Navy, Mobile Construction Battalion, who lost his life on March 5, 1956, when his tractor fell into a crevasse about 20 nautical miles (37 km; 23 mi) westward of this glacier while attempting to establish a trail to Byrd Station.
