Odell Glacier
The Odell Glacier (76°44′S 159°55′E / 76.733°S 159.917°E) is a glacier draining northeast between Allan Hills and Coombs Hills into the upper Mawson Glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for Noel Odell, who was a mountaineer and was professor of geology at the University of Otago from 1950 to 1955.
The Odell Glacier forms between the Allan Hills and the Coombs Hills, which contain Mount Brooke. To the southwest of its head are Hall Rock, Brandau Rocks and Carapace Nunatak. The glacier flows northeast past the Convoy Range to the Mawson Glacier.
The United States set up an Antarctic field camp on the glacier during the summer of 2001 at 76°39′00″S 159°58′00″E / 76.65000°S 159.96667°E.[citation needed]
76°13′00″S 160°16′00″E / 76.2166667°S 160.2666667°E. A glacier that flows northwest between Coombs Hills and Wyandot Ridge to enter Odell Glacier. Named in association with nearby Wyandot Ridge after Captain R.K. Irving, U.S. Navy (USN), commander of USS Wyandot (AKA-92), a cargo ship in the Ross Sea Unit in Operation Deep Freeze IV, 1958-59.

Features of the terrain around the glacier include:
76°47′S 160°00′E / 76.783°S 160.000°E. An area of broken and largely snow-free hills and valleys between the Odell Glacier and Cambridge Glacier. Discovered in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) (1956-58) and named by them for Doug Coombs, professor of geology at the University of Otago, New Zealand, who assisted the expedition in obtaining essential petrological equipment.
76°52′S 160°13′E / 76.867°S 160.217°E A 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km) long ridge that extends from the Coombs Hills southeastward to the west side of Cambridge Glacier. The central peak of the ridge rises to 2,100 metres (6,900 ft). It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2008 after members of the Navarro family who carried on support activities for the US Antarctic Program at the McMurdo, South Pole and Palmer Stations in the period 1989 to 2008: Kenneth Navarro, Palmer Station logistics supervisor who worked for 18 summer and four winter seasons at the three stations; Kenneth's wife Carol Gould Navarro, engaged in logistics and administration at Palmer and McMurdo for five summers and four winters; his sister Suzanne McCullough Navarro, a cook at McMurdo for four summers and one winter; his brother Steven Navarro, carpenter at Palmer and McMurdo for three summers and one winter; Kenneth and Carol's sons, Eliot Gould and Tyler Gould, also worked a few seasons in Antarctica.
