Cook Mountains

Not to be confused with Mount Cook (Antarctica).

The Cook Mountains is a group of mountains bounded by the Mulock and Darwin glaciers in Antarctica. Parts of the group were first viewed from the Ross Ice Shelf by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04). Additional portions of these mountains were mapped by a New Zealand party of the CTAE (1956–58), and they were completely mapped by the USGS from Tellurometer surveys and US Navy air photos, 1959–63.

Named by the NZ-APC for Captain James Cook.

Cook Mountains landforms include Bowling Green Col, Bowling Green Plateau, Bromwich Terrace, DeZafra Ridge, Soyuz-13 Rock, Schoonmaker Ridge, Wright Hill, and the Brown Hills.
