North Masson Range
North Masson Range is part of the Masson Range, which is divided into three parts of which this segment is the northern, rising to 1,030 m and extending 3 nautical miles (6 km) in a north-south direction. The Masson Range was discovered and named by British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE), 1929-31, under Mawson. This northern range was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37, and named Nordkammen (the north comb or crest). The approved name, suggested by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) in 1960, more clearly identifies the feature as a part of Masson Range.
