Oh joy, mountains in Antarctica. What could possibly go wrong? End comment: this is a very direct, to-the-point article for a mountain range that I imagine isn't much explored, and is thus little-known. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 20:43, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comments:
 * The lede is fine.
 * The list of other named features is not easy to understand. Could you split and/or rephrase the entries more and perhaps give distances between locations? Also give the relative positions of your three reference points within the mountains as a whole (i.e. is Mount Manthe in the north/south/east/west of the Hudson Mountains?)
 * Hard to do this as I was extrapolating this section from a map which gives no inter-feature distance measures. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * This is pretty minor, but subglacial is just unusual enough that you may want to rephrase to
 * Did something along these lines. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * These volcanoes are dormant, right? So there shouldn't be any lava flows.
 * Mmm, I believe one can say "lava flows" even for now-cold lava flows. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * What kind of rock are the pillow lavas?
 * That's more about the appearance of a lava flow than its composition. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Lava fragments? What do you mean by lava fragments? My assumption is some kind of igneous rock, but as lava = molten rock, you can't have fragments of a liquid.
 * See above regarding now-cold. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * - Word salad. Subaqueous is jargon for underwater, subglacial could be explained or rephrased, and subaerially is outright unnecessary. Honestly, rephrase the entire sentence, or even split it into multiple sentences. From what I understand, there's structures associated with underwater volcanism [first?], then structure associated with subglacial, and then deposits of normal, open-air volcanism on top.
 * Rewrote this a bit. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Clarify that Marie Byrd Land is a neighboring region of Antarctica.
 * Done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I think you're missing a word here.
 * Did something for all these sentences. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Life and climate: what species of petrels?
 * Don't think they know themselves. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Well, I'm tempted to argue pedantics over some of the above points, but none of them are important enough to hold back a GA over. Pass, and commendations to Jo-Jo Eumerus. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 23:51, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
