Bush Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bush Mountains ( ) is a series of rugged elevations at the heads of Ramsey and Kosco glaciers in Antarctica.
The Bush Mountains extend from Mount Weir in the west to Anderson Heights overlooking Shackleton Glacier in the east. They were photographed at a distance by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on several flights to the Queen Maud Mountains in November 1929. The mountains were further defined from aerial photographs taken by the USAS (1939-41), USN OpHjp (1946-47), and USN OpDFrz (1956-63).
The Bush Mountains were named by US-SCAN, on the recommendation of Rear Admiral Byrd, after James I. Bush, American financier and patron of the Byrd AE, 1928-30.
