The Executive Committee Range is south of the eastern end of the Usas Escarpment. The mountains, from north to south, are Mount Hampton, Mount Camming, Mount Hartigan, Mount Sidley and Mount Waeshche. Named features of Mount Hampton include Whitney Peak and Marks Peak. Named features of Mount Cuming include Annexstad Peak, Le Vaux Peak and Woolam Peak. Named features of Mount Hartigan include Lavris Peak, Boudette Peaks, Tusing Peak and Mintz Peak. Named features of Mount Sidley include Feyerharm Knoll, Weiss Amphitheater, Parks Glacier and Doumani Peak. Named features of Mout Waescher include Bennett Saddle and Chang Peak.[2][3]

Recent and Ongoing Magmatism edit

In November 2013, Lough et al. reported deep long period volcanic earthquakes centered at depths of 30-40 km approximately 55 km S of Mount Sidley that were interpreted as indications of present deep crustal magmatic activity beneath the Executive Committee Range. Ice penetrating radar results reported in this study indicated a sub-ice topographic feature, interpreted as a volcano, above the seismic swarms. The study also reported a mid-icecap (1400 m depth) ash layer about 8,000 years old that was interpreted as probably originating at nearby Mount Waesche.[4]

Discovery and name edit

The complete range was discovered by the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–41), during a flyover of the area on 15 December 1940, and named for the Executive Committee of the Expedition. Four of the five mountains are named in honor of individual members of the committee. Mount Sidley, the most imposing mountain in the range, was discovered and named by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd in 1934. The entire range was mapped in detail by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy trimetrogon photography from 1958 to 1960.[1]
