Narrative

Flattish, mainly ice-covered heights, about 7 mi long, forming a part of the S wall of upper Priestley Glacier to the SE of Tantalus Peak, Victoria Land. The heights are near where the southern party of the NZGSAE, 1962-63, was landed. Named by them for Lt. John H. Ogden, USN, pilot who airlifted the party to this point, flew in their resupply, and later flew the party back to base at the end of the season.
