Grikurov Ridge
Grikurov Ridge () is a ridge that extends westward for about from the south end of the LeMay Range, in central Alexander Island, Antarctica. The feature was mapped from trimetrogon air photography taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, and from survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1948–50. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the Russian Garrik Grikurov, a Soviet exchange geologist with the British Antarctic Survey, who worked in this area in 1963–64.

Welcome Pass
Welcome Pass () is a snow pass between Cairn Ridge and Czamanske Ridge, providing access to Tranquillity Valley in the Dufek Massif, Pensacola Mountains. Named from association with Tranquillity Valley; also because during the 1976-77 season, Arthur B. Ford and Willis H. Nelson, of United States Geological Survey (USGS), on discovery of a Soviet Antarctic Expedition helicopter cache left here the previous summer, left a note of welcome to the Dufek Massif for the Soviet Antarctic Expedition party leader, Garrik Grikurov.
