A large mountain massif about 4 miles wide and 10 miles long, surmounted by three sharp peaks in an east-west line, the highest of which rise to about 2700m, standing at the south side of the Albanus Glacier at the point where it joins the east side of Robert Scott Glacier in the Queen Maud Range. Discovered by the Byrd AE, 1928-30, on Byrd's flight to the South Pole in November 1929. Visited in December 1934 by the Geolocial Party, led by Blackburn, of the Byrd AE, 1933-35. Named by Byrd for Darryl F Zanuck, official of Twentieth Century-Fox Pictures, who assisted the Byrd AE, 1933-35, in assembling motion-picture records, and later supplied the US Antarctic Service Expedition, 1939-41, with motion-picture projectors.
