A linear group of hills with prominent rock outcrops, 11.5 mi long, at the SW end of Saratoga Table, Pensacola Mountains. Named features in the group include Haskill Nunatak, 1710 m, near the center, and Ray Nunatak and Beiszer Nunatak at the S end. Named after Glen R. Himmelberg, Department of Geology, University of Missouri-Columbia. His laboratory research and scientific reporting with A.B. Ford (1973-91) on the petrology of Antarctica and specifically on the Dufek intrusion of the northern Pensacola Mountains was critical for the understanding of the evolution of this major igneous complex. |
