Exploration and naming edit

The Olympus Range was mapped by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition, 1958–59, and named for the Mount Olympus, mythological home of the Greek gods. Peaks in the range are named for figures in Greek mythology.[1]

Location edit

The Olympus Range extends from the Antarctic Plateau to the Wilson Piedmont Glacier on the west coast of the Ross Sea. The range is bounded by the Balham Valley, McKelvey Valley and Victoria Valley to the north, and the Wright Valley to the south.[2][3]

Glaciers edit

Mount Doorly edit

77°23′S 162°54′E / 77.383°S 162.900°E / -77.383; 162.900. A summit surmounting the east part of the rocky ridge between Greenwood Valley and Wright Lower Glacier.
