[1] The Flood Range consists of a linear volcanic chain of peaks in which there have been systematic migrations of felsic activity.

A steep rock bluff 1,650 metres (5,410 ft) high at the extreme north side of Mount Berlin.

A crevasse field, 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) in extent, located immediately west of Mount Berlin.

Named by US-ACAN for Michael Mefford, a member of the USARP team that studied ice sheet dynamics in the area northeast of Byrd Station, 1971-72.

A prominent peak of 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) high that is the secondary summit and is located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west of Berlin Crater.

Named by US-ACAN for Dennis S. Walts of the United States Weather Bureau, meteorologist at South Pole Station, 1970.

Named by US-ACAN for James H. Wells, a member of the USARP team that studied ice sheet dynamics in the area northeast of Byrd Station, 1971-72.

A broad, ice-covered mountain 3,070 metres (10,070 ft) high, standing 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) east of Mount Berlin.

A spur with a small rock exposure along its crest, located on the lower northwest slopes of Mount Moulton.

Named by US-ACAN for Steven P. Gawne, a member of the USARP team that studied ice sheet dynamics in the area northeast of Byrd Station in the 1971-72 season.

Named byUS-ACAN for Dale R. Britt, BU2, United States Navy, a builder who wintered over at South Pole Station, 1969.

A rounded, snow-covered elevation 2,680 metres (8,790 ft) high that rises slightly above the general level of the extreme east part of the Mount Moulton massif.

Named by US-ACAN for Robert E. Kohler of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, a geomagnetist/seismologist at Byrd Station, 1970.

A broad, ice-covered mountain, 2,780 metres (9,120 ft) high, which forms the east end of the Flood Range.

Named for Jacob Bursey, member of the ByrdAE (1928-30) and dog-driver with the USAS party which sledged to the west end of the Flood Range in December 1940.

A small snow-filled crater at the base of the west slope of the Mount Bursey massif in Marie Byrd Land.

Named by US-ACAN for James E. Starbuck of Bartol Research Foundation, who studied cosmic rays at the South Pole Station in 1970.

Named by US-ACAN for Charles R. Hutt of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, a geomagnetistseismologist at South Pole Station, 1970.
