Longstaff Peaks

The Longstaff Peaks (82°54′S 165°42′E) are a series of high peaks standing just west of Davidson Glacier in the north-central part of the Holland Range in Antarctica. They were discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04), and named Mount Longstaff for Llewellyn Wood Longstaff, a principal contributor to the expedition. The descriptive term was amended by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee.[1]
