Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1948-59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for John Tyndall (1820–93), Irish mountaineer and pioneer glaciologist, author of many works on glaciers and the physical properties of ice.[1] Pryor Peak sits on the west side of the mountains on the edge of Giants Cirque, a large cirque which opens to the southwest to Vallot Glacier. The cirque was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1983 following British Antarctic Survey geological work in the area.[2]Richardson Peak sits on the east side of Vallot Glacier.[3]References1. ^{{cite gnis | type = antarid | id = 15730| name = Tyndall Mountains| accessdate = 2018-08-30}} {{usgs-gazetteer}}{{LoubetCoast-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite gnis | type = antarid | id = 5643| name = Giants Cirque | accessdate = 2018-08-30}} 3. ^{{cite gnis | type = antarid | id = 12611| name = Richardson Peak| accessdate = 2018-08-30}} 2 : Mountain ranges of Graham Land|Loubet Coast |
