Names that other countries have for this feature:
extending NW-SE between Eureka Glacier and Riley Glacier, E of Warren Ice Piedmont, George VI Sound, rising to c. 1550 m, and including McHugo Peak, Mount Noel, Mount Allan and Mount Eissinger, were photographed from the air by Ellsworth, 23 November 1935, and roughly mapped from air photographs (Joerg, 1937); further photographed from the air by BGLE, 16 August 1936, and partly surveyed from the ground in Septem- ber-October 1936 (Stephenson, 1940, map facing p.232); partly resurveyed from the E by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in 1948. The name arose because BGLE sledge parties found the mountains a useful landmark on the overland traverse from Wordie Ice Shelf to George VI Sound via Eureka Glacier ([referring to N part of mountains in 69°51'S 68°02'W] APC, 1955, p.21; DCS 601 sheet 69 66, 1955; DOS 610 sheet W 69 68, 1963; [as now defined] BAS 250P sheets SR 19-20/6, 1-DOS 1978 and 19-20/10, 2-DOS 1984; APC, 1986, p.4).
