Museum Ledge (-84.75°N, -113.8°W) is the ledge is a flat sandstone bed about 25 m long and 9 to 12 m wide exposed by erosion. The feature is a fossil locality. It contains excellently displayed fossil wood and is located on the southwest shoulder of Mount Glossopteris in the Ohio Range, Horlick Mountains. The name alludes to the display of fossil wood found here and was suggested by William E. Long, geologist with the Ohio State University expedition who worked in these mountains in the 1960-61 and 1961-62 austral summers.

Discovered and plotted from air photos by German Antarctic Expedition, 1938-39. Replotted from air photos and surveys by Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1958-59, and named after Ivan V. Mushketov (1850-1902), Russian geologist and geographer.

Mushroom Island
Mushroom Island (-68.88333°N, -67.88333°W) is an ice-covered island lying 10 nautical miles (18 km) west-southwest of Cape Berteaux, off the west coast of Graham Land. First charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37, and so named because of its resemblance to a mushroom cap. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Muskeg Gap
Muskeg Gap (-64.38333°N, -59.65°W) is a low isthmus at the north end of Sobral Peninsula, Graham Land. The gap provides a coastal route which avoids a long detour around Sobral Peninsula Mapped from surveys by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1960-61). Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the Canadian "Muskeg" tractor.

Cape Musselman
Cape Musselman (-71.28333°N, -61°W) is a cape forming the south side of the entrance to Palmer lnlet, on the east coast of Palmer Land. Discovered by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) who explored this coast by land and from the air from East Base in 1940. Named for Lytton C. Musselman, member of the East Base party which sledged across Dyer Plateau to the vicinity of Mount Jackson, which stands inland from this cape.

Musson Nunatak
Musson Nunatak (-71.51667°N, -63.45°W) is a pyramidal nunatak standing 10 nautical miles (18 km) south of Mount Jackson, at the east margin of the Dyer Plateau of Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for John M. Musson, PH2, U.S. Navy, photographer and member of the cartographic aerial mapping crew in LC-130 aircraft of Squadron VXE-6, 1968-69.

Mussorgsky Peaks
Mussorgsky Peaks (-71.48333°N, -73.36667°W) is a two rocky peaks rising to 500 m northwest of Mount Grieg on Derocher Peninsula, Alexander Island. A number of peaks in this vicinity first appear on maps by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48. These peaks, apparently included within that group, were mapped from RARE air photos by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after Modeste Mussorgsky (1839-81), Russian composer.

Mutel Peak
Mutel Peak (-76.51667°N, -146.05°W) is a rock peak (860 m) 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of Mount Iphigene in the Ford Ranges, Marie Byrd Land. Photographed and roughly plotted by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928-30, and United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939-41. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Robert L. Mutel, ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station, 1969.

Mutton Cove
Mutton Cove (-66°N, -65.65°W) is an anchorage 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) northeast of the south end of Beer Island in the Biscoe Islands. The cove is formed by four small islands, Harp, Upper, Cliff and Girdler Islands. Beer Island shelters the cove from the west. Charted in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill and, at the suggestion of Lieutenant R.G.D. Ryder, Royal Navy, captain of the days in a training ship at Devonport.

Muus Glacier
Muus Glacier (-71.43333°N, -61.6°W) is a glacier entering the north side of Odom Inlet between Snyder Peninsula and Stromme Ridge, on the east coast of Palmer Land. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for David Muus, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) oceanographer aboard USCGC Northwind in the Ross Sea area, 1971-72, and a participant in the Weddell Sea Oceanographic Investigations aboard USCGC Glacier, 1974-75.

Myall Islands
Myall Islands (-67.66667°N, 45.71667°W) is a two islands lying close west of the Thala Hills, off the coast of Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) after Myall, vernacular name for species of Acacia found in Australia. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Myers Glacier
Myers Glacier (-72.26667°N, -100.11667°W) is a valley glacier about 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, flowing southwest from Mount Noxon on Thurston Island to Abbot Ice Shelf in Peacock Sound.

Charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 because of the very many islands in the group. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands
