Place ID: 11151
A group of three parallel N-S oriented mountain ranges (Norwegian name Petermannkjeda) including the ranges Westliche Petermannkette, Mittlere Petermannkette, Östliche Petermannkette as well as the NNE-SSW oriented range søre Petermannkjeda, Wohlthatmassiv, Fimbulheimen, Neuschwabenland, Dronning Maud Land; during the 1938/39 expedition the naming of 'Petermannketten' did cover the area of all four ranges, however, without explicitly naming the S range; this happened later by Norwegian and American cartographers. Discovered during German Antarctic Expedition 1938/39 ('Neuschwabenland-Expedition') under Alfred Ritscher. |
