Coyer Point
Coyer Point (-74.4°N, -113.21667°W) is an ice-covered point on the southeast side of Martin Peninsula. It is the north end of an ice-covered peninsula that extends into Dotson Ice Shelf, 23 nautical miles (43 km) south-southeast of Jacobsen Head, Bakutis Coast, Marie Byrd Land.

Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1977 after Lieutenant Ann E. Coyer, U.S. Navy, first U.S. Navy woman to participate in Antarctic operations, Operation Deepfreeze, 1974.

Crabeater Point
Crabeater Point (-68.76667°N, -64.16667°W) is a point at the southeast extremity of Mobiloil Inlet, 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of Victory Nunatak, on the east coast of Antarctic Peninsula. The point, the northwest extremity of a prominent ridge, was photographed from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) on September 28, 1940, and by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) (Trimetrogon air photos), December 22, 1947. Surveyed in December 1958 by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who gave the descriptive name. The ridge of which this point is the extremity resembles a recumbent Crabeater Seal when seen from the air.

Mount Crabtree
Mount Crabtree (-77°N, -144.96667°W) is a mountain (820 m) 4 nautical miles (7 km) east-southeast of Mount Fonda in the north-central part of the Swanson Mountains, in the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land. Mapped by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) (1939-41) under R. Admiral R.E. Byrd. Named for Dr. E. Granville Crabtree, biologist, who was a consultant in the preparation stages of "Operation Highjump II" (which was cancelled) and for Operation Deep Freeze I (1955-56), for which Admiral Byrd was Officer in Charge, U.S. Antarctic Programs.

Crack Bluff
Crack Bluff (-86.55°N, -158.63333°W) is a bluff 8 nautical miles (15 km) southeast of Kutschin Peak on the west side of Nilsen Plateau, Queen Maud Mountains. The bluff rises to 2,810 m and has an extensive area of exposed rock. The name was proposed by Edmund Stump of the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Ohio State University field party which geologically mapped the bluff on December 27, 1970. It is descriptive of the peculiar subhorizontal crack containing breccia fragments exposed on the steep southwest face.
