'''Mount Zdarsky''' ({{coor dm|66|5|S|64|58|W|}}) is a [[mountain]] rising at the east side of [[Simler Snowfield]], between Barilari and [[Holtedahl Bays]] on the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First charted and named "[[Mont Garcia]]" by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Charcot, 1908-10, presumably in association with his nearby "[[Cap Garcia]]." Charcot later transferred "Cap Garcia" (now [[Cape Garcia]]) to the north entrance of [[Barilari Bay]], leaving the mountain name on the south side. To avoid confusion with Cape Garcia on the other side of Barilari Bay, the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) altered the name of this mountain in 1959 to Mount Zdarsky. Named for [[Mathias Zdarsky]], Austrian pioneer exponent of ski-mountaineering, inventor of the first dependable ski binding, and author of one of the earliest skiing manuals.

'''Cape Zumberge''' ({{coor dm|76|14|S|69|40|W|}}) is a steep rock cape on the west side of the [[Ronne Ice Shelf]], marking the southwest end of the [[Orville Coast]] of [[Ellsworth Land]]. The name "[[Zumberge Nunatak]]" was given by the US-IGY party from [[Ellsworth Station]], 1957-58, to a rock feature reported to lie 30 nautical miles (60 km) north of the westernmost traverse station occupied by the party. The cape described, though somewhat farther north, is apparently the only rock feature lying in that direction. Named for [[James H. Zumberge]], American glaciologist who has made studies of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]].
