Features

Features, from north to south, include:

Carnes Crag

. A rock crag, high, in the northwest extremity of Lanterman Range, overlooking the junction of Sledgers Glacier and the Rennick Glacier. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by US-ACAN for James J. Carnes United States Navy, chief electrician's mate with the McMurdo Station winter party, 1967.

Mount Moody

. A peak high located southeast of Carnes Crag in northwestern Lanterman Range, Bowers Mountains. Named by the northern party of

New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition The New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) describes a series of scientific explorations of the continent Antarctica. The expeditions were notably active throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Features named by the expeditions 1957 ...

(NZGSAE), 1963-64, for Lieutenant Daniel M. Moody, United States Navy, of Squadron VX-6, who flew support flights for this New Zealand expedition.

Reilly Ridge

. Prominent rock ridge about long on the northeast side of Lanterman Range, Bowers Mountains. The ridge descends from the heights just east of Mount Bernstein and forms a part of the southwest wall of Sledgers Glacier. Mapped by USGS from ground surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by US-ACAN for Commander Joseph L. Reilly, United States Navy, officer in charge of the winter support party at McMurdo Station. 1964.

Rowell Peak

. The highest peak high on Reilly Ridge. Named by the

(NZ-APC) in 1983 after A.J. Rowell, geologist, a member of R.A. Cooper's NZARP geological party to the area, 1981-82.

Mount Bernstein

. A prominent mountain, high, which forms a part of the northern wall of Linder Glacier. Mapped by the USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by US-ACAN for the late Captain Fred J. Bernstein, Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans, United States Navy Support Force, Antarctica, 1967 and 1968.

Gateway Hills

. A prominent pair of hills high immediately west of Husky Pass at the head of Sledgers Glacier. So named by the NZ-APC in 1983 on a proposal by geologist M.G. Laird because the hills bound the southern entrance to Sledgers Glacier.

Mount Lugering

. Mountain nearly high on the west side of Lanterman Range. It marks the north side of the terminus of Hunter Glacier where it joins Rennick Glacier. Mapped by USGS from ground surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1960-62. Named by US-ACAN for utilitiesman Donald R. Lugering, United States Navy, of the South Pole Station winter party, 1965.
