Masson Range

Masson Range is a high broken chain of mountains, consisting primarily of North Masson, Central Masson, South Masson Ranges and Trilling Peaks, forming a part of the Framnes Mountains. Having several peaks over 1,000 m, the range extends in a north-south direction for 15 miles. Discovered and charted by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE), 1929-31, under Mawson, and named for Prof. Sir David Orme Masson, a member of the Advisory Committee for this expedition as well as the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE), 1911-14, under Mawson. First visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) party led by John Bechervaise in 1956.
