Narrative

rising to 1350m, extending NE-SW from Clifford Peak to Billie Peak, and also including Mount Camber, Molar Peak and Copper Peak, was roughly charted by BeAE, 8 February 1898, and named Monts Osterrieth after Mme Ernest (Anna) Osterrieth of Antwerp, a patron of the expedition (Cape Anna, q.v.) (Lecointe, map, 1899; Gerlache, 1900b, p.474; Lecointe, 1903, Carte 5). The feature as originally named may also have included Mount Franc ais and associated peaks; on subsequent maps and charts the feature has been variously shown with more or less its present extent, or extending SW almost to Cape Lancaster.
