A line of subglacial highlands in West Antarctica that extend WSW from central Ellsworth Mountains to the vicinity of Mount Moore and Mount Woollard. The existence of the feature was first indicated from seismic soundings by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, 1957-58, led by Charles R. Bentley. It was delineated in detail by the SPRI-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79, and named in association with the Ellsworth Mountains. |
