A mountain range, 70 mi long, lying WSW of Forrestal Range in the central part of the Pensacola Mountains. The range is comprised of Washington Escarpment with its associated ridges, valleys and peaks, the Iroquois Plateau, and the Schmidt and Williams Hills. It was discovered and photographed on Jan. 13, 1956 on a USN transcontinental plane flight from McMurdo Sound to Weddell Sea and return. Named by US-ACAN after the Navy P2V-2N "Neptune" aircraft with which this flight was made. The entire Pensacola Mountains were mapped by USGS in 1967 and 1968 from ground surveys and U.S. Navy tricamera aerial photographs taken in 1964.
