The Freyberg Mountains ( 72°15′S 163°45′E / 72.250°S 163.750°E) are a group of mountains in Victoria Land, Antarctica, bounded by the Rennick Glacier, Bowers Mountains, Black Glacier, and Evans Névé. [1] They are west of the Victory Mountains and south of the Bowers Mountains.
The Freyberg Mountains were named for New Zealand's most famous general, Bernard Freyberg, by the Northern Party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64. [1]
The Freyberg Mountains lie to the east of the Rennick Glacier and to the south of the Bowers Mountains. The Canham Glacier defines their northwest limit. The Black Glacier defines their eastern limit, separating them from the Leitch Massif, Neall Massif and West Quartzite Range further east. They extend south to the Evans Névé. [2] [3]
