This name originates from United States of America. It is part of the United States Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
That portion of Antarctica back of the Ingrid Christensen Coast and eastward of the Lambert Glacier, consisting of an upland snow surface (2,800 m) except for a group of nunataks (Grove Mountains) near 75E. The area was discovered and named by Lincoln Ellsworth on January 11, 1939, in an aerial flight from his ship the Wyatt Earp. The area was photographed by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) and by ANARE (1956 and 1957), the latter group making a landing to obtain an astrofix at Grove Mountains, 1958.
