Clark Mountains

The Clark Mountains (77°16′S 142°0′W) are a group of low mountains rising above 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) located in the Ford Ranges, Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. They are about 16 kilometres (10 mi) east of the Allegheny Mountains in Antarctica. They were discovered and photographed on aerial flights in 1940 by the US Antarctic Service and named for Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts.

gollark: What?
gollark: Our modern laser systems fire through wormholes to arbitrary space-bee-time coordinates, so that is unlikely to be an effective defense.
gollark: Don't worry, GTech™ orbital lawsuit lasers are standing by for defense.
