Aker Peaks

Aker Peaks, also known as Akar Peaks or Aker Range, are a series of mainly snow-covered peaks, the highest at 1800 m, extending 9 mi in a northwest–southeast direction. They rise 4 mi west of Nicholas Range and 30 mi west-northwest of Edward VIII Bay. They were discovered on January 14, 1931, by a Norwegian whaling expedition under O. Borchgrevink, who named them after the farm of Director Svend Foyn Bruun, Sr. of the Antarctic Whaling Company at Tønsberg.
