McLeod Massif

McLeod Massif (70°46′S 68°0′E / 70.767°S 68.000°E / -70.767; 68.000Coordinates: 70°46′S 68°0′E / 70.767°S 68.000°E / -70.767; 68.000) is a large rock massif just south of Manning Massif in the eastern part of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was plotted from air photographs, and first visited by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Prince Charles Mountains survey in 1969. The feature was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for I.R. McLeod, geologist-in-charge of geological field operations during the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains surveys of 1969 and 1970.[1]
