Crohn Massif

Crohn Massif (70°27′S 64°57′E) is a large, domed massif in Antarctica, 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Mount Kirkby in the Porthos Range, Prince Charles Mountains. It was sighted by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party led by W.G. Bewsher (1956–57) and named for Peter W. Crohn, a geologist at Mawson Station in 1955 and 1956.[1]
