Manning Massif

Manning Massif (70°42′S 67°50′E / 70.700°S 67.833°E / -70.700; 67.833Coordinates: 70°42′S 67°50′E / 70.700°S 67.833°E / -70.700; 67.833) is a large rock massif between Loewe Massif and McLeod Massif in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photographs, and was first visited by a party from the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1969. The massif was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for J. Manning, a surveyor at Mawson Station in 1967, and surveyor-in-charge of field survey operations during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains surveys of 1969, 1971 and 1972.[1]
