Narrative

A small but geologically important group of rounded mountains at the north end of Blue Glacier, c. 3 mi long and rising to 850m, forming the S wall of Ferrar Glacier between Overflow Glacier and the vicinity of Bettle Peak, in Victoria Land. Named by the NZ-APC at the suggestion of R.H. Findlay, NZARP geologist in the area between 1977-81, after Winthrop Scott Stratton, a New Zealand carpenter who achieved a fortune and devoted most of it to philanthropic causes.
