extending to the N coast of Alexander Island between Bongrain Ice Piedmont and Roberts Ice Piedmont and to the E coast at Schokalsky Bay, bounded to the W by Russian Gap and Palestrina Glacier, and to the S and SE by Tufts Pass and Hampton Glacier, rising to c. 2800m at Mount Paris (q.v.) and including also from N to S Mount Bayonne, The Needles, Mount Calais, Mount Sanderson, Mount Hahn, Mount Cupola and Care Heights. The mountains were roughly mapped by FAE, 1908-10, in January 1909 and named Massif Rouen after the French city of Rouen, where the expedition was received on its return (Charcot, 1912, Pl. 1; Bongrain, 1914, p.52 and vue 43 following p.60). Rouen Range (BA chart 3175, 9.x.1914). Mount Rouen (BA, 1916, photograph facing p.409). Rouan [sic] Fjellene (HA chart, 1927). The mountains were probably seen from the air by Wilkins, 29 December 1929. Rouenfjellet (Aagaard, 1930, end map). The mountains were

Prominent mountain range, c. 2,800 m, extending 35 mi NW-SE from Mount Bayonne to Care Heights and Mount Cupola, in N Alexander Island. First mapped by the FrAE, 1908-10, under J.B. Charcot and named by him after the French city of Rouen. Charcot indicated a break in these mountains S of Mount Paris, but air photos taken by the RARE, 1947-48, as interpreted by Searle of the FIDS indicate that the mountains are continuous SE to Mount Cupola; partly surveyed by FIDS in 1948; further delineated from U.S. satellite imagery of January 1974 and February 1975.

Descubierto en 1909 por la Expedición Francesa del Dr. Jean B. Charcot, en el "Pourquoi-Pas". Charcot le dio el nombre de montes Rouen al situado al de E a W, al sur de los nombrados y separado de estos por un valle profundo. Montes que ocupan una posición central en la parte N de la isla Alejandro I y que corre por 30 millas en dirección NNW a SSE, sus alturas más destacadas son monte Bayonne, montes París y monte Calais.
