Rockefeller Mountains
The Rockefeller Mountains (78°0′S 155°0′W / 78.000°S 155.000°W) are a group of low-lying, scattered granite peaks and ridges, almost entirely snow-covered, standing 30 miles (48 km) south-southwest of the Alexandra Mountains on the Edward VII Peninsula of Antarctica.
Discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition on January 27, 1929, they were named by Byrd for John D. Rockefeller, Jr., a patron of the expedition.
