Carey Range

The Carey Range (72°53′S 62°37′W) is a mountain range, about 35 nautical miles (65 km) long and 5 nautical miles (10 km) wide with peaks rising to 1,700 metres (5,600 ft), between Mosby Glacier and Fenton Glacier in southeast Palmer Land. The range was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1966–69. In association with the names of continental drift scientists grouped in this area, it was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Samuel W. Carey, Australian geologist; Professor of Geology, University of Tasmania, 1946–1970.[1]
