'''Meridian Glacier''' ({{coor dm|68|45|S|66|37|W|}}) is a broad [[glacier]], 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, which flows south along the west side of [[Godfrey Upland]] and joins the [[Clarke Glacier]] between [[Behaim Peak]] and [[Elton Hill]], in southern [[Graham Land]].

'''Midas Island''' ({{coor dm|64|10|S|61|7|W|}}) is an [[island]] lying northwest of [[Apendice Island]] in [[Hughes Bay]], off the west coast of [[Graham Land]]. First seen by the [[Belgian Antarctic Expedition]] under Gerlache in 1898 and described as an island with two summits "like the ears of an ass." The name, given by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1960, derives from this description; Midas, King of Phrygia, was represented in Greek satyric drama with the ears of an ass.

'''Midship Glacier''' ({{coor dm|76|52|S|161|30|E|}}) is a broad flat [[glacier]] filling the bulk of [[Alatna Valley]] and having its origin on the slopes of [[Mount Morrison]] to the south, in [[Convoy Range]], [[Victoria Land]]. From 1957 this ice body was considered part of [[Benson Glacier]]. However, it was determined by a 1989-90 [[New Zealand Antarctic Research Program]] (NZARP) field party ([[Trevor Chinn]]) that although it abuts against the main Benson Glacier at [[Jetsam Moraine]], this glacier makes no contribution of ice to the Benson as its dominant ice flow is northward across its length. With the identification of Midship Glacier as a distinct feature, the application of Benson Glacier has been restricted to the ice flowing eastward from [[Flight Deck Neve]] to the terminus in [[Granite Harbor]]. Approved by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) in 1993 as recommended by the [[New Zealand Geographic Board]] (NZGB).

The name [[Elephant Point]], given by [[Robert Fildes]] in 1820-22 to another feature, has been for a number of years applied in error to this bluff. It is now approved as originally intended and a new name has been substituted for the feature here described. Miers Bluff is named for [[John Miers]] (1789-1879), English engineer and botanist, who was responsible for the first published chart of the South Shetland Islands, based on the work of [[William Smith]].

'''Mill Mountain''' ({{coor dm|79|26|S|157|52|E|}}) is a large flat-topped [[mountain]] (2,730 m) forming the eastern end of [[Festive Plateau]] in the [[Cook Mountains]]. This mountain was probably sighted by the ''Discovery'' expedition (1901-04) under Captain [[Robert F. Scott]], who gave the name "[[Mount Mill]]," after [[British Antarctic]] historian [[Hugh Robert Mill]], to a summit in nearby [[Reeves Bluffs]]. This area was mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] photography (1959-63). A prominent mountain does not rise from the bluffs, and since the name Mount Mill is in use elsewhere in Antarctica, the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) (1965) altered the original name to Mill Mountain and applied it to the prominent mountain described.
