Narrative

rising to 1210m at O'Connell Nunatak, N Patuxent Range (q.v.), Pensacola Mountains. Following air reconnaissance by USN from Ellsworth Station , 1957-58, the name Anderson Mountains was applied to a feature shown between 83° and 84°S, and 56° and 64°W, after Robert Bernard Anderson (b.1910), US Deputy Secretary of Defence, 1954-55 (later Secretary of the Treasury), who was directly responsible for US operations in Antarctica in the IGY (Ronne, 1961, map frontispiece). Following survey by USGS, 1961-62, and air photography by USN in 1864, the feature was repositioned and named Anderson Hills (USGS sheet SV 11-20/4, 1969; AGS, 1974, p.3). Anders [sic] Hills (Schmidt and Ford in AGS, 1969, Pl. V).
