Cook Mountains
The Cook Mountains is a group of mountains bounded by the Mulock and Darwin glaciers in Antarctica. Parts of the group were first viewed from the Ross Ice Shelf by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04). Additional portions of these mountains were mapped by a New Zealand party of the CTAE (1956–58), and they were completely mapped by the USGS from Tellurometer surveys and US Navy air photos, 1959–63. Named by the NZ-APC for Captain James Cook. Cook Mountains landforms include Bowling Green Col Bowling Green Col () is an ice-filled east–west col between Reeves Plateau and Bowling Green Plateau in the Cook Mountains.

It lies between Mulock Glacier to the north and Carlyon Glacier to the south, both of which empty into the Ross Ice Shelf. The Worcester Range forms the other side of the Mulock Glacier. The Heap Glacier enters the Mulock Glacier to the west of the north end of the range. The range was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–1904, but the name appears to be first used in the reports of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–1909.
