Thiel Mountains
Thiel Mountains (-85.25°N, -91°W) is an isolated, mainly snow-capped mountains, 45 nautical miles (80 km) long, located roughly between the Horlick Mountains and the Pensacola Mountains and extending from Moulton Escarpment on the west to Nolan Pillar on the east. Major components include Ford Massif (2,810 m), Bermel Escarpment and a group of eastern peaks near Nolan Pillar. Observed and first positioned by the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Horlick Mountains Traverse Party, 1958-59. Surveyed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Thiel Mountains parties of 1960-61 and 1961-62. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Edward C. Thiel, traverse seismologist at Ellsworth Station and the Pensacola Mountains in 1957. In December 1959, he made airlifted geophysical observations along the 88th meridian West, including work near these mountains. Thiel perished with four others in the crash of a P2V Neptune aircraft soon after take-off from Wilkes Station, November 9, 1961.

Thiel Trough
Thiel Trough (-81.5°N, -57°W) is a submarine trough trending NE-SW with depths reaching to 1,500 m below sea level. The trough extends southwest from about 7630S, 3500W, in the Weddell Sea; underlies Filchner Ice Shelf and the south part of Ronne Ice Shelf, south of Henry Ice Rise; and continues west to about 8300S, 8500W, near Martin Hills. The portion northeast of Henry Ice Rise was discovered in 1957-58 by a U.S. traverse party from Ellsworth Station and named "Crary Trough" after Albert P. Crary, Chief Scientist, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP). The southwest portion was traced by U.S. seismic traverse parties, 1958-64, and the whole delineated in greater detail by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-National Science Foundation (NSF)-Technical University of Denmark (TUD) airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79. The name "Crary Trough" was set aside by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) at the suggestion of Dr. Crary, who recommended that the entire trough be named after Edward C. Thiel (1928-61), chief seismologist at Ellsworth Station, 1956-58, and leader of the traverse party that discovered this feature.

Thil Island
Thil Island (-70.13333°N, 72.65°W) is a small rocky island lying 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northeast of Jennings Promontory in the eastern part of the Amery Ice Shelf. Delineated in 1952 by John H. Roscoe from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47. Named by Roscoe for R.B. Thil, air crewman on Operation Highjump photographic flights over this area. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Thimble Peak
Thimble Peak (-63.45°N, -57.1°W) is a truncated cone, 485 m, consisting of rock and ice, standing at the east side of Mondor Glacier and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of Duse Bay at the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula. First charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1946. The descriptive name was given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1948.

Thode Island
Thode Island (-77.03333°N, -148.05°W) is a small ice-covered island in Sulzherger Ice Shelf, located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) northwest of Benton Island and 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of Przybyszewski Island in Marshall Archipelago. 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 George C. Thode, meteorologist at Byrd Station in 1968. == See also == * List of antarctic and sub-antarctic islands

Mount Tholus
Mount Tholus (-63.26667°N, -56.06667°W) is the highest mountain, 825 m, in the ridge extending southwest from Postern Gap in the central part of Joinville Island. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1953-54 and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1956. The name is descriptive, "tholus" being a circular, domed structure.

Thomas Cove
Thomas Cove (-64.93333°N, -63.1°W) is the cove south of Haigh Point, Danco Coast. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1956-57. The cove is named in association with Haigh Point. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1985 after Joan Ena Thomas, personal assistant to the Secretary, UK-APC, Polar Regions Section, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, 1948-62.

Thomas Glacier
Thomas Glacier (-78.66667°N, -84°W) is a roughly Z-shaped glacier which drains the southeast slopes of Vinson Massif and flows for 17 nautical miles (31 km) through the south part of the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains, leaving the range south of Johnson Spur. Discovered by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 on photographic flights of December 14-15, 1959, and mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from the photos. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for R. Admiral Charles W. Thomas, USCG, veteran of Antarctic expeditions in the 1950s.
