Peaks in the low and mid portions of the range were observed by early British expeditions to the Ross Sea.[1] The range was mapped in detail by the USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1955-63. Named by US-ACAN in recognition of the splendid support to research provided by the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze expeditions to Antarctica for many years beginning in 1954.[1] Geological featuresMount AdamsonMount Adamson ({{coord|73|55|S|163|0|E|region:AQ_type:mountain}}) is a peak, {{convert|3400|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} high, rising {{convert|10|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} east-northeast of Mount Hewson.
