Prince Albert Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prince Albert Mountains () are a major mountain group, over 320 km (200 mi) long, extending North-South between the Priestley Glacier and Ferrar Glacier in Victoria Land. Discovered by Sir James Clark Ross, February 17, 1841, and named by him for Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria of England. First exploration of the mountains was by British expeditions in the early 1900s; detailed survey and mapping was accomplished by New Zealand and American expeditions in the 1950s and 1960s.
