Inland from the east of the Beardmore Glacier

Mountain groups or ranges between Beardmore Glacier and Shackleton Glacier include:

• Commonwealth Range, a north-south trending range of rugged mountains, 60 nautical miles (110 km; 69 mi) long. The range borders the eastern side of Beardmore Glacier from Keltie Glacier to the Ross Ice Shelf.^[18]
• Separation Range, the northeastern branch of the Commonwealth Range. The branch starts at about 84°20'S, and forms two chains of mountains separated by Hood Glacier. The Separation Range, about 30 nautical miles (56 km; 35 mi) long, terminates to the north at the Ross Ice Shelf.^[19]

Shackleton–Liv

Inland mountains. Shackleton Glacier to the west, Liv Glacier to extreme east

Mountain groups or ranges between Shackleton Glacier and Liv Glacier include:

• Prince Olav Mountains, a mountain group stretching from Shackleton Glacier to Liv Glacier at the head of the Ross Ice Shelf.^[3]

• Roberts Massif, a remarkable snow-free massif at the head of Shackleton Glacier. It rises to over 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) and is about 60 square nautical miles (210 km²; 79 sq mi) in area.^[29]
• Cumulus Hills, several groups of largely barren hills. Divided by the Logie Glacier, they are bounded by Shackleton Glacier on the west, McGregor Glacier on the north and Zaneveld Glacier on the south.^[30]

Liv–Amundsen

Mountain groups or ranges between Liv Glacier and Amundsen Glacier include:

• Duncan Mountains, a group of rugged coastal foothills, about 18 nautical miles (33 km; 21 mi) long, extending from the mouth of Liv Glacier to the mouth of Strom Glacier.^[31]
• Herbert Range, a range extending from the edge of the Antarctic Plateau to the Ross Ice Shelf between the Axel Heiberg Glacier and Strom Glacier.^[32]
• Quarles Range, a high and rugged range extending from the polar plateau between Cooper Glacier and Bowman Glacier and terminating near the edge of Ross Ice Shelf.^[33]

Amundsen–Scott

Upper Amundsen Glacier (west), Scott (east)

Mountain groups or ranges between Amundsen Glacier and Scott Glacier include:

• Hays Mountains, a large group of mountains and peaks surmounting the divide between the lower portions of Amundsen Glacier and Scott Glacier and extending from the vicinity of Mount Thorne on the northwest to Mount Dietz on the southeast.^[34]
• Medina Peaks, rugged, mainly ice-free, peaks surmounting a ridge 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) long, extending north along the east side of Goodale Glacier to the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.^[35]
• Karo Hills, rounded, ice-free foothills extending for 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) along the west side of the terminus of Scott Glacier, from Mount Salisbury north-northwest to the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. ^[36]
• Nilsen Plateau, a rugged, ice-covered plateau in Antarctica. When including Fram Mesa, the plateau is about 30 nautical miles (56 km; 35 mi) long and 1 to 12 nautical miles (1.9 to 22.2 km; 1.2 to 13.8 mi) wide, rising to 3,940 metres (12,930 ft) high between the upper reaches of the Amundsen and Scott glaciers.^[37]
• Rawson Mountains, a crescent-shaped range of tabular, ice-covered mountains including Fuller Dome, Mount Wyatt and Mount Verlautz, standing southeast of Nilsen Plateau and extending southeast for 18 nautical miles (33 km; 21 mi) to the west side of Scott Glacier.^[38]

Scott–Reedy

Scott Glacier to west of map

Mountain groups or ranges between Scott Glacier and Reedy Glacier include:

• Watson Escarpment, a major escarpment trending northward along the east margin of Scott Glacier, then eastward to Reedy Glacier where it turns southward along the glacier's west side. Somewhat arcuate, the escarpment is nearly 100 nautical miles (190 km; 120 mi) long, rises 3,550 metres (11,650 ft) above sea level, and 1,000 to 1,500 metres (3,300 to 4,900 ft) above the adjacent terrain.^[39]
• Gothic Mountains, a group of mountains, 20 nautical miles (37 km; 23 mi) long, located west of Watson Escarpment and bounded by Scott Glacier, Albanus Glacier, and Griffith Glacier.^[40]
• La Gorce Mountains, a group of mountains, 20 nautical miles (37 km; 23 mi) long, standing between the tributary Robison Glacier and Klein Glacier at the east side of the upper reaches of the Scott Glacier.^[41]
• Tapley Mountains, a range of mountains fronting on the eastern side of the Scott Glacier, extending eastward for 35 nautical miles (65 km; 40 mi) between Leverett Glacier and Albanus Glacier.^[42]
• Harold Byrd Mountains, a group of exposed mountains and nunataks which extend in an east–west direction between the lower part of Leverett Glacier and the head of the Ross Ice Shelf.^[43]
• Bender Mountains, a small group of mountains 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) southwest of the Berry Peaks, between the southeast edge of the Ross Ice Shelf and the Watson Escarpment.^[44]

Other features

• The Quartz Hills is an arcuate cluster of largely ice-free hills and peaks found immediately south of Colorado Glacier along the west side of Reedy Glacier.^[33]
• The Caloplaca Hills are a distinctive group of rock hills including Mount Carmer and Heathcock Peak, lying east of the Watson Escarpment on the west side of Reedy Glacier.^[45]
• Titan Dome is a large ice dome on the polar plateau, trending east–west and rising to 3,100 metres (10,200 ft) between the Queen Maud Mountains and the South Pole. The dome was first crossed by the sledge parties of Shackleton, Amundsen, and Scott on their journeys toward the South Pole, and was described as a major snow ridge. It was delineated by the SPRI-NFS-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967–79, and named after the Cambridge University (U.K.) Titan computer, which was used to process all the early radio echo sounding data for this part of Antarctica.^[46]
