Concord Mountains
The Concord Mountains is a group name applied to a complex system of mountain ranges in northwest Victoria Land, Antarctica, comprising the Everett Range, Mirabito Range, King Range, Leitch Massif, East Quartzite Range and West Quartzite Range. This massive complex of topographical features lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
Mapped by the USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1960-63. Named by the northern party of the NZGSAE which explored this area, 1963–64, for the international harmony existing in Antarctica and in particular for the fact that five nations participated in exploration of this region.
