Narrative

Several groups of largely barren hills, divided by the Logie Glacier. They are bounded by Shackleton Glacier on the west, McGregor Glacier on the north and Zaneveld Glacier on the south. The exposed rock in this area was observed on a number of occasions to give rise to the formation of cumulus clouds, considered to be very rare at this elevation. Named by the Southern Party of NZGSAE (1961-62) because of these clouds.
