rising to c. 1750m at Holmes Summit, S Shackleton Range, extending E from Cornwall Glacier to Swinnerton Ledge, and including Du Toit Nunataks and a number of peaks and cirques, were surveyed at their W end by TAE in October 1957. In association with the names of geologists grouped in this area, the name was first applied to the mountains E of Glen Glacier, with the E limit undefined, after Herbert Harold Read (1889-1970), Chairman of the Scientific Committee and a member of the Committee of Management, TAE; Professor of Geology, University of Liverpool, 1931-38, and University of London, 1939-55; President, Geological Society of London, 1947-49 (APC, 1962, p.26; DOS 610 sheet W 80 24/26, 1963). Gory Rid (Soviet Union. AA, 1966, Pl.24). The mountains were photographed from the air by USN in 1967 and surveyed from the ground over their length by BAS from Halley, 1968-71; later redefined as above (BAS 250P sheet SU 26-30/1, 1-DOS 1978; APC, 1986, p.4).

Group of rocky summits, the highest 1,830 m, lying E of Glen Glacier in the south-central part of the Shackleton Range. First mapped in 1957 by the CTAE and named for Prof. Herbert H. Read, Chairman of the Scientific Committee and member of the Committee of Management of the CTAE, 1955-58.
