Brown Range

Brown Range or Sørtindane Peaks[1] is a group of seven peaks in the Framnes Mountains about 4 km south of Mount Twintop in Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica.[2] Two of the peaks were maped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936) and called Sørtindane (The South Mountain Peaks). The current name was given for D. A. Brown, radio operator at Mawson in 1958. The highest point in the range is at Gordon Peak, with an altitude of 1484 metres.
