===The Almond=== {{coord|78|19|S|163|27|E}}. A bare, almond-shaped ridge of granite which separates the two coalescing channels of Pyramid Trough, located just west of The Pyramid on the west side of Koettlitz Glacier. Given this descriptive name by the New Zealand VUWAE, 1960-61.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=14}}
===Pyramid Trough=== {{coord|78|18|S|163|27|E}}. A deep trough immediately west of The Bulwark, through which a part of the Koettlitz Glacier formerly flowed north to Walcott Bay. Named by the VUWAE (1960-61) for its proximity to The Pyramid.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=597}}
===The Bulwark=== {{coord|78|17|S|163|33|E}}. A steep-walled granite bastion on the west side of Koettlitz Glacier, around which the glacier follows on its descent to Walcott Bay. First mapped by the BrAE, 1910-13. Named by the VUWAE (1960-61) because of its shape.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=104}}
