Carey Range

The Carey Range (-72.88333°N, -62.61667°W) is a mountain range, about 35 nmi long and 5 nmi wide with peaks rising to 1,700 m, between Mosby Glacier and Fenton Glacier in southeast Palmer Land, Antarctica.

Location
The Carey Range is in south-central Palmer Land. The Wegener Range is to the north and the Dana Mountains to the south. It is bounded by the Fenton Glacier to the northeast and the Mosby Glacier to the southwest. Features include the Sverdrup Nunataks to the north and Mount Adkins in the south. The Journal Peaks are to the west.

Mapping and name
The Carey Range was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from United States Navy aerial photographs, 1966–69. In association with the names of continental drift scientists grouped in this area, it was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US.ACAN) after Samuel W. Carey, Australian geologist; Professor of Geology, University of Tasmania, 1946–1970.

Sverdrup Nunataks
-72.75°N, -63.25°W. A line of peaks trending WNW-ESE and rising to 1,800 m high in the northwest part of Carey Range, near the edge of the interior plateau in southeast Palmer Land. Mapped by the USGS from aerial photographs taken by the United States Navy, 1966-69. In association with the names of Antarctic oceanographers grouped in this area, named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1977 after Harald U. Sverdrup (1888-1957), Norwegian oceanographer and meteorologist; Director, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 1936-48; Director, Norsk Polarinstitutt, 1948-57, and Chairman of the International Committee for the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1949-52.

Mount Adkins
-73.05°N, -62.03333°W. Mountain surmounting the north flank of Mosby Glacier just west of the mouth of Fenton Glacier. Mapped by USGS from ground surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1961-67. Named by US-ACAN for Thomas Adkins, cook with the Palmer Station winter party in 1965.

Journal Peaks
-72.68333°N, -64.91667°W. Two groups of separated peaks and nunataks w|hich trend east–west for about 8 nmi. They rise 17 nmi southeast of the Seward Mountains in central Palmer Land. Mapped by USGS from United States Navy aerial photography, 1966-69. Named by US-ACAN after the Antarctic Journal of the United States, established 1966, a publication of the Division of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, reporting on the U.S. Antarctic Research Program and related activities.
