About PINTOMAP Mount Lopez (Antarctica)Mount Lopez () is a peak of the Walker Mountains, located 5 miles (8 kilometres) east of Landfall Peak in the west part of Thurston Island. Delineated from aerial photographs taken by U. Peter I Island (Antarctica)Fabian von Bellingshausen discovered Peter I Island (in Norwegian Peter 1.s øy) off West Antarctica on January 21 1821. Mount Takahe (Antarctica)| Topographic map = Mount Murphy (Antarctica)| Topographic map = Burke Island (Antarctica)Burke Island is an ice-covered island about 16 miles long and 6 miles wide, lying 37 miles southwest of Cape Waite, King Peninsula, in the Amundsen Sea. Burke Island is located at . Thwaites Ice Tongue (Antarctica)The Thwaites Ice Tongue () is a large sheet of glacial ice and snow extending from the Antarctic mainland into the southern Amundsen Sea. Hollick-Kenyon Plateau (Antarctica)Hollick-Kenyon Plateau () is a large, relatively featureless snow plateau, 1,200 m to 1,800 m above sea level, located between the northern portion of the Ellsworth Mountains, to the east, and Mount Takahe and Crary Mountains, to the west. It was discovered by Lincoln Ellsworth on his trans-Antarctic airplane flight during November-December 1935, and named by Ellsworth for his pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon. Pine Island Glacier (Antarctica)Pine Island Glacier () is a broad glacier flowing west-northwest along the south side of the Hudson Mountains into Pine Island Bay, Amundsen Sea. It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and USN air photos, 1960-66, and named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in association with Pine Island Bay. Canisteo Peninsula (Antarctica)Canisteo Peninsula () is an ice-covered peninsula, about 30 miles long and 20 miles wide, which projects between Ferrero Bay and Cranton Bay into the east extremity of Amundsen Sea. It was delineated from air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump in December 1946, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for the USS Canisteo, a tanker with the eastern task group of this expedition. Walgreen Coast (Antarctica)The Walgreen Coast () is a portion of the coast of Antarctica between Cape Herlacher and Cape Waite. It is part of Marie Byrd Land. Pine Island Bay (Antarctica)Pine Island Bay () is a bay about 40 miles long and 30 miles wide, into which flows the ice of Pine Island Glacier, at the southeast extremity of Amundsen Sea. It was delineated from aerial photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump in December 1946, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for the USS Pine Island, seaplane tender and flagship of the eastern task group of USN Operation Highjump which explored this area. King Peninsula (Antarctica)King Peninsula () is an ice-covered peninsula, 100 miles long and 20 miles wide, lying south of Thurston Island and forming the south side of Peacock Sound. It projects from the continental ice sheet and trends west between the Abbot Ice Shelf and Cosgrove Ice Shelf to terminate at Amundsen Sea. Bear Peninsula (Antarctica)Bear Peninsula () is a peninsula about 80 km (50 mi) long and 40 km (25 mi) wide which is ice covered except for several isolated rock bluffs and outcrops along its margins, lying 48 km 30 mi) east of Martin Peninsula on Walgreen Coast, Marie Byrd Land. Abbot Ice Shelf (Antarctica)The Abbot Ice Shelf () is an ice shelf 400 km (250 mi) long and 64 km (40 mi) wide, bordering Eights Coast from Cape Waite to Phrogner Point. Thurston Island lies along the northern edge of the western half of this ice shelf; other sizable islands (Sherman, Carpenter, Dustin, Johnson, McNamara, Farwell and Dendtler) lie partly or wholly within it. Cape Flying Fish (Antarctica)Cape Flying Fish () is an ice-covered cape which forms the west extremity of Thurston Island. It was discovered by Rear Admiral Byrd and members of the US Antarctic Service (USAS) in a flight from the Bear in February 1940. Smith Glacier (Antarctica)Smith Glacier () is a low-gradient Antarctic glacier, over 160 km (100 mi) long, draining from Toney Mountain in an ENE direction to Amundsen Sea. A northern distributary, Kohler Glacier, drains to Dotson Ice Shelf but the main flow passes to the sea between Bear Peninsula and Mount Murphy, terminating at Crosson Ice Shelf. Walker Mountains (Antarctica)Walker Mountains () is a range of peaks and nunataks which are fairly well separated but trend east-west to form the axis, or spine, of Thurston Island. They were discovered by Rear Admiral Byrd and members of the US Antarctic Service (USAS) in a flight from the ship Bear on February 27, 1940. Eights Coast (Antarctica)Eights Coast () is that portion of the coast of Antarctica between Cape Waite and Phrogner Point. It is part of Ellsworth Land. Dustin Island (Antarctica)Dustin Island () is an island about 29 km (18 mi) long, lying 24 km (15 mi) southeast of Cape Annawan, Thurston Island. The feature forms the SE limit of Seraph Bay. Mount Loweth (Antarctica)Mount Loweth () is a snow-topped mountain (1,420 m) with a steep rock cliff on the north side, located 10 km (6 mi) east-northeast of Anderson Dome in the east end of the Jones Mountains, Antarctica.
