Narrative

A major group of mountains in Mac. Robertson Land including the Athos, Porthos, and Aramis Ranges. These mountains together with other scattered peaks form an arc about 260 mi long, extending from the vicinity of Mount Starlight in the north to Goodspeed Nunataks in the south. These mountains were first observed and photographed from a distance by airmen of USN Operation HighJump, 1946-47. They were examined by several ANARE parties and mapped in the years 1954-61. Named by ANCA in 1956 for Prince Charles, heir apparent to the British throne.
