COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

A group of ridges, rising to about 3200m high, which stand close north-west of the north-west facing escarpment of the Queen Maud Range that also marks the head of Shackleton Glacier some 20 miles to the north-east, bordering the South Polar Plateau and pierced by several glaciers. Discovered by the Byrd AE, 1928-30, on Byrd's flight to the South Pole in November 1929. Named by him for Gilbert Grosvenor, then President of the National Geographic Society, which helped finance the expedition.

A group of widely scattered mountains and nunataks rising above the polar plateau E of the head of Mill Glacier, extending from Mount Pratt in the N to the Mount Raymond area in the S, and from Otway Massif in the NW to Larkman Nunatak in the SE. Discovered by R. Admiral Byrd on the ByrdAE flight to the South Pole in November 1929, and named by him for Gilbert Grosvenor, President of the National Geographic Society, which helped finance the expedition. Several peaks near Mount Raymond were apparently observed by Shackleton in 1908, although they were then considered to be a continuation of the Dominion Range.
