The feature was roughly charted by the nineteenth century sealers; further charted by Commander Henry Foster in 1829 but shown as the northeast point of the island.

The cone itself is about 100 m high and is surrounded by a deep moat or ditch, caused by the sweeping action of strong winds. It was named by F. Debenham on the second ascent of Mount Erebus for F.J. Hooper, a steward of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. Hooper was one of the party making the second ascent.

Hop Island
Hop Island (-68.83333°N, 77.71667°W) is an one of the largest of the Rauer Islands, about 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west-southwest of Filla Island.

The feature was subsequently photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) in September 1940, and by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) in December 1947. A careful study of the reports, maps, and photographs of these expeditions, as well as additional survey of the area by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960, has led to the conclusion that Ellsworth's Mount Hope and Rymill's Mount Wakefield are synonymous. For the sake of historical continuity the name Mount Hope has been retained for this mountain (the name Wakefield has been transferred to Wakefield Highland located close northwestward). This mountain is one of three major mountains in Ellsworth's Eternity Range to which he gave the names Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Mount Hope (Antarctica)
Mount Hope (-83.51667°N, 171.26667°W) is a low but conspicuous mountain, 835 m, marking the west side of the terminus of Beardmore Glacier, at its confluence with the Ross Ice Shelf.

Hovde Cove (-69.25°N, 76.83333°W) is a small coastal reentrant within Prydz Bay, lying immediately east of Flatnes Ice Tongue. Mapped and named Hovdevika by Norwegian cartographers working from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37.

Hovde Glacier
Hovde Glacier (-69.25°N, 76.91667°W) is a small glacier just west of Brattstrand Bluffs on the southeast shore of Prydz Bay. A short tongue from this glacier extends seaward to nearby Hovde Island. First mapped by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, which named the island. This glacier was named "Hovde Ice Tongue" by John H. Roscoe in 1952 following his study of aerial photographs of the area taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47, but the term glacier is considered appropriate to this small feature.

Hovde Island
Hovde Island (-69.25°N, 76.86667°W) is a small, rounded, rocky island in Prydz Bay, lying at the extremity of the small glacier tongue from Hovde Glacier. Mapped from air photographs by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936) and named Hovden (the knoll). The recommended form and generic term takes into account the offshore nature of the feature. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Hovdebrekka Slope
Hovdebrekka Slope (-72.05°N, 11.8°W) is a crevassed ice slope several mi long which trends northeastward from Skeidshovden Mountain in the Wohlthat Mountains, Queen Maud Land. First photographed from the air by the German Antarctic Expedition (1938-39). Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956-60) and named Hovdebrekka (the knoll slope).

Hovdeknattane Rocks
Hovdeknattane Rocks (-72.11667°N, 11.65°W) is a rocky crags projecting from the southwest part of Hovdebrekka Slope, just north of Skeidshovden Mountain in the Wohlthat Mountains, Queen Maud Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956-60) and named Hovdeknattane (the knoll rocks).

Hovdeskar Gap
Hovdeskar Gap (-71.78333°N, 11.65°W) is a gap just east of Mount Skarshovden at the head of Skarsbrotet Glacier, in the Humboldt Mountains of Queen Maud Land. Discovered and photographed by the German Antarctic Expedition, 1938-39. Mapped by Norway from air photos and surveys by Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956-60, and named Hovdeskar (knoll gap).

Hovgaard Island
Hovgaard Island (-65.13333°N, -64.13333°W) is an island 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, lying 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) southwest of Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago. Discovered and named Krogmann Island by a German expedition under Dallmann, 1873-74, but the name Hovgaard, applied by the BeIgAE, 1897-99, under Gerlache, has overtaken the original name in usage. The name Krogmann Point has been given to the west extremity of Hovgaard Island. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Howard Bay (Antarctica)
Howard Bay (-67.46667°N, 61.06667°W) is a bay, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, between Byrd Head and Ufs Island. Discovered in February 1931 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson, and named by him for A. Howard, hydrologist with the expedition.

Howard Glacier
Howard Glacier (-77.66667°N, 163.08333°W) is a small alpine glacier just west of Crescent Glacier, flowing into Taylor Valley on the north from the Kukri Hills, in Victoria Land. The glacier was studied in December 1957 by U.S. geologist T.L. Pewe, who named it for Arthur D. Howard, geomorphologist of Stanford University, and glaciologist in Antarctica during U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47.

Howard Heights
Howard Heights (-77.45°N, -151.66667°W) is a snow covered coastal promontory (515 m) between Stewart and Gerry Glaciers on the north side of Edward VII Peninsula. Features in this area were explored by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928-30 and 1933-35. These heights were mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65.
