Gonville and Caius Range

The Gonville and Caius Range (77°7′S 162°16′E) is a range of peaks, 1,000 to 1,500 metres (3,300 to 4,900 ft) high, between Mackay Glacier and Debenham Glacier in Victoria Land Antarctica. It was first mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, under Robert Falcon Scott, and was named for Gonville and Caius College, of Cambridge University, the alma mater of several members of the expedition.[1]
