The northwest of the mountains is defined by the Ackerman Ridge, Surprise Spur, Delta Peak and Mount Mooney.

A very sharp peak marking a pronounced corner point on Ackerman Ridge, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) northeast of Mount Gjertsen.

So named by NZGSAE, 1969-70, because as seen from the south the colorful rock strata present a well visible form that is suggestive of the Greek letter "Delta.

A low but sharply rising promontory at the extremity of the spur trending north from Mount Gjertsen, in the La Gorce Mountains.

A peak, 2,360 metres (7,740 ft) high, along the north edge of the La Gorce Mountains, standing 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) south of the east tip of Mount Mooney.

The name derives from a contact between shallow intrusions on the W face of the peak, which has produced gold, yellow, and brown coloration along a meandering line.

A prominent peak, 3,310 metres (10,860 ft) high, standing 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) east-southeast of Mount Grier.

A peak, 2,660 metres (8,730 ft) high, located 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) southeast of Mount Paine.

Discovered in December 1934 by the ByrdAE geological party under Quin Blackburn, and named by Byrd for William H. Bowlin, airplane pilot with the expedition.

A mountain, 2,410 metres (7,910 ft) high, standing between Van Reeth and Robison Glaciers and 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) east of Mount Bowlin.

Discovered by the geological party under Quin Blackburn of the ByrdAE, 1933-35, and named by Byrd for George Otto Noville, executive officer of the expedition.

A mountain, 2,360 metres (7,740 ft) high, standing just east of Mount Noville on the divide between Van Reeth and Robison Glaciers.

Named by US-ACAN for Lt. (j-g-) Charles J. Roland, aircraft navigator with USN Squadron VX-6 on Operation Deep Freeze 1966 and 1967.

Named by US-ACAN for Lt. Alex J. Szabo, aircraft pilot of USN Squadron VX-6 during Operation Deep Freeze 1966 and 1967.

A large bluff 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) northeast of Mount Mooney, standing near the head of Robison Glacier.

An ice-free ridge 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) southeast of Davis Hills, lying at the south side of Klein Glacier.
