Forrestal Range

The Forrestal Range (-83°N, -49.5°W) is a largely snow-covered mountain range, about 65 nmi long, standing east of Dufek Massif and the Neptune Range in the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica.

Discovery and name
The Forrestal Range was discovered and photographed on 13 January 1956 on a transcontinental patrol plane flight of United States Navy Operation Deep Freeze I from McMurdo Sound to the vicinity of the Weddell Sea and return. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after USS Forrestal (CV-59), first supercarrier of the U.S. Navy. The entire Pensacola Mountains were mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1967 and 1968 from United States Navy tricamera aerial photographs taken in 1964.

Location
The Forrestal Range extends in a north-northeast direction along the west side of the Support Force Glacier. The Median Snowfield is to its south and the Sallee Snowfield to its west, separating it from the Dufek Massif. The Ford Ice Piedmont is to its north. Major features from south to north include the Saratoga Table, Lexington Table, Kester Peaks and Mount Malville.
