Morozumi Range

The Morozumi Range (71°39′S 161°55′E) is a spectacular mountain range of unusual scenic beauty in Antarctica, extending northwest–southeast for 25 nautical miles (46 km), with its northern elevations overlooking the convergence of Gressitt Glacier and Rennick Glacier. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Henry M. Morozumi, an aurora scientist at South Pole Station in 1960, and Station Scientific Leader at Byrd Station in 1963.[1]
